modulates neruotransmitter release in nerve endings
NE
Binds to all except less beta 2
Epi
Binds to all AR equally
Phenylephrine, methoxamine
alpha 1 > alpha 2 >>>> beta
Clonidine, methylNE
alpha 2 > alpha 1 >>>>> beta
Dobutamine
beta 1 > beta 2 >>>>> alpha
Isoprotenerol
beta 1 = beta 2 >>>> alpha
Terbutaline, metaproterenol, albuterol, ritodine
beta 2 >> beta 1 >>>>>>alpha
Fenoldopam
D1 >>D2
Treatment of persistent asthma
1) Mild = inhaled steroids alone
2) Moderate = add short-acting beta agonist + possibly leukotriene blocker (+ possibly inhaled long-acting beta agoinst)
3) Increase dose of inhaled steroid + possibly inhaled long acting bronchodilaor + possibly leukotriene blocker antagoinst + possibly theophyline + possibly omalizumab
4) Severe = oral steroids
Treatment of AE COPD
Antibiotics
Short-acting beta agoinsts
Inhaled anticholinergic
Steroids - oral at least 2 weeks or inhaled
Treat respiratory failure
Non-invasive PP ventilation
Methylxanthines (theophylline)
Possible moleculare mechanisms:
Inhibit PDE --> prevent cAMP breakdown --> relaxes smooh muscle airway
Adenosine antagonism
Catecholamine release
Effects suppressor T cells

Narrow therapeutic index, use only in combo
Beta 2 agonists
Activate AC --> cAMP --> smooth muscle relaxation
Also bind to K+ channels

All have beta-1 activity
Tremor, due to beta-2 skeletal muscle receptors
Metabolic effects include hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, especially with cardiac disease
SABA
4-6 hours
Desensitization with regular, prolonged used, use only prn
Albuterol, metaprotenerenol, pirbuterol, levalbuterol, terbutaline
LABA
Salmeterol and formaterol: 10-24 hours
Indacaterol: 24 hours

Formoterol 20x efficacious > Salmeterol
Salmeterol has less side effects, less desensitization, takes >10 minutes to act (vs. Formoterol 2-3 min)
Anticholinergics
Atropine (side effects = glaucoma, urinary retention, dry mouth
Ipratropium (Atrovent) - 4-6 hours, potent bronchodilator, 30 min onset of action, minimal side effects
Aclidinium
12 hours anticholinergic
Tiotropium (Spiriva)
12-24 hours Anitcholinergic
Leukotriene blockers
Zafirlukast (Accolate): LTD4, LTE4 R antagonists, not for under 7 or nursing.
Interacts with warfarin, theophylline, emycin
Adverse effects: eosinophilia, Churg-Strauss

Montelukast (Singulair): once a day, not in nursing mothers or pregnancy (is possible)
Interacts with phenobarbitol
Adverse effects: eosinophilia, Churg-Strauss

Zileuton blocks several leukotriene receptors
Adverse events: eosinophilia, Churg-Strauss
Corticosteroids
Increase transcription of beta-2 adrenoreceptors, decrease transcription of cytokines and adhesion molecules
Inhibit release of mediators from eosinophils, macrophages, T lymphocytes
Enhance bronchodilator actions of beta-2 agonists

bid: Beclamethason, dipropionate, tiamcinolne acetonide, flunisolid, budesonide, fluticasone, cicesonide
once daily: mometasone
Mast cell stabilizers
