organs affected by alpha-1 receptors (contraction smooth muscle) |
most arteries and veins iris muscle (eye) sphincters of urinary, GI tract |
|
organs affected by alpha-2 receptors |
adrenergic nerve endings stimulation by NE/EPI initiates negative feedback mechanism that reduces, regulates release of additional NE |

heart |
|
organs affected by stimulation beta-2 receptors (relaxation smooth muscle) |
bronchiolar smooth muscle uterus skeletal muscle vessels/coronary artery vessels |
|

vasoconstriction contraction-pupillary dilation (mydriasis) (same effects as NE) |
|
NE effect on alpha-2 receptors |
vasoconstriction contraction-pupillary dilation (mydriasis) (same effects as EPI) |
|
EPI effect on beta-1 receptors |
greater increase heart rate, force of contraction, AV conduction
|
|
NE effect on beta-1 receptors |
moderate increase heart rate, force of contraction, AV conduction |
|
EPI effect on beta-2 receptors |
bronchodilation relaxation vasodilation |
|
NE effect on beta-2 receptors |
no stimulation or effect |
|
alpha-1 receptors |
contraction smooth muscle |
|
Beta-1 receptors |
stimulation cardiac muscle (rate, force of contraction) |
|
beta-2 receptors |
relaxation smooth muscle |
|
Sympathomimetic |
action of adrenergic drug (alpha/beta agonists), or action that increases sympathetic activity |
|
Sympatholytics |
adrenergic blocking drugs (alpha, beta, neuronal blockers) that antagonize sympathetic activity |
|
non-selective beta-adrenergic drugs |
stimulate heart (beta-1 receptors), relax smooth muscle (beta-2 receptors) Ex: EPI |
|
selective beta-2 adrenergic drugs |
stimulate only beta-2 receptors, used primarily as bronchodilators |
|
alpha/beta adrenergic blockers |
sympatholytic drugs, block effects of NE, EPI blocks both alpha-1, alpha 2, beta-1 beta-2- non-selective blocks only beta-1/alpha-1- selective blockers |
|
effect of alpha/beta blockers |
decrease sympathetic activity, esp in CV system |
|
adrenergic neuronal blockers |
act at adrenergic nerve endings to reduce formation, release of NE decreases all sympathetic activity, lowers BP, cardiac function |
|
parent/prototype for alpha drug class |
NE |
|
Alpha-adrenergic drugs used to treat hypotension |
Metaraminol (Aramine)- parenteral Midrodine (ProAmatine)- tablet NE (Levophed)-parenteral phenylephrine (neo-synephrine)-parenteral
all increase BP |
|
AA drugs for nasal/ocular decongestion |
Naphazoline (Privine-nasal Naphcon-ocular) Phenylephrine (neo-synephrine-nasal) Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed)- nasal Tetrahydrozoline (tyzine- nasal Visine-ocular)
zoline, ephrine |
|
major adverse effect of AA drugs administered IV |
excessive vasoconstriction of blood vessels may result in increased BP, hypertensive crisis |
|
most important actions of beta drugs |
stimulation heart (beta-1) bronchodilation (beta-2) Isoproteranol most potent, produces both effects drawback is overstimulation of heart |
|
Stimulation of beta-2 receptors in uterus |
relaxes smooth muscle, inhibits uterine contractions Terbutaline- may arrest premature labor |
|
Examples of beta adrenergic drugs (non-selective) |
Dopamine (intropin)- circulatory shock Ephedrine- bronchodilator Epinephrine (adrenaline, EpiPen, Primatene mist)- acute allergy/asthma, bronchodilator Isoproteranol (isuprel)- bronchodilator |
|
Selective BA drugs (all stimulate beta-2 receptors, except Dobutamine) |
Albuterol (Proventil) Dobutamine (Dobutrex) Isoetharine (Bronkometer) Levalbuterol (Xopenex) metaproteranol (Alupent) Salmeterol (Serevent) Terbutaline (Brethine) |
|
DOC for anaphylaxis |
EPI |
|
main pharmacologic effect of alpha blockers |
relaxation of smooth muscle used for hypertension, Raynauds disease, pheochromocytoma BPH (relaxers smooth muscle of ureter) |
|
Alpha blocking drugs adverse effects |
increased activity in ANS division not blocked Miosis, nasal congestion, increased GI activity tachycardia if BP lowered interference w/normal CV reflexes that control BP- can cause orthostatic hypotension and fainting |
|
Beta blocking drugs |
bind to beta adrenergic receptors, antagonize beta effects of NE, EPI |
|
main clinical use of beta blockers |
decrease activity of heart useful in tachycardia, cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac conditions w/excessive sympathetic activity, hypertension
|
|
Propranolol (Inderal) |
Beta blocker (non-selective) indications- HT, migraine, angina pectoris, arrhythmias, post-myocardial infarction
|
|
Metoprolol (Lopressor) |
selective beta-1 blocker Indications- HT, angina pectoris, chronic heart failure |
|
Propranolol main effects |
decrease in rate, force of contraction, conduction velocity of heart. Lowering of BP. Administered ORAL, IV. Most lipid soluble beta-blocker, can exert pharmacological effects in brain |
|
Other uses of Propranolol, beta blockers |
glaucoma (decrease intraocular pressure) migraines post MI |
|
Esmolol |
short acting, administered IV in emergency situations |
|
side/adverse effects of beta blockers |
nausea, diarrhea bradycardia, CHF, cardiac arrest (lowered cardiac function) contraindicated in patients w/asthma/respiratory problems drowsiness, mental depression, CNS disturbances (if access gained into brain). |
|
adrenergic neuronal blocking drugs |
interfere w/formation, storage of NE ex: alpha- methyldopa (inhibits DOPA synthesis) Reserpine (depletes vesicle of NE) Guanethidine (prevents NE release, depletes vesicles) |
|
methyldopa (Aldomet) |
interferes w/synthesis NE in nerve endings, greatly reduces amount formed. Activity of SNS decreased. Main use- treatment of HT |
|
Methyldopa side/adverse effects |
drowsiness, sedation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, nasal congestion, bradycardia
drug fever, liver dysfunction, hemolytic anemia, skin eruptions, symptoms of arthritis |
|
