Adrenergics Flashcards
(83 cards)
Heart receptor?
B1
vessel receptor?
A1 = STRONGER = constrict
B2 = dilate (coronary/skeletal)
(a2=little effect)
Kidney receptor?
B1 = release renin
GI tract receptor?
a1 = stop secretion
Sex organs receptor
a1
Uterus receptors?
contract = a1 Relax = b2
Catecholamines
epi
NE
dopamine
NE released at
postganglionic sympathetic
Epi released from
adrenal medulla
Isoproterenol
ISUPREL
selective B ag
Stim the heart
Dopa
CNS transmitter
NE precursor
NE synthesis
Transporter sucks in Tyrosine
Tyr->Dopa->DA->NE->Epi
Inhibit NE release?
- presynaptic a2 receptor
- PGE2
*or degrade w/in terminals w/ MAO; reacumulate from synapse if cleaning
Enhance NE release?
angiotensin II
Most Cirulating Epi broken down by
MAO/COMT
Most of NE removed by
recycled into terminal by NET
receptors effects dependent on
g protein, kinases in target cell
Guanethidine
Mech
enters via NET, depletes NE
Reserpine
Mech
Enters terminal (lipid-solube), stops VMAT, NE can’t be recycled
MAOI inhibitors
Mech
accumulate intracellular NE, increased NE synapse levels
MAOI 8
Rx
Tranylcypromine (anti-depressant)
PARNATE
Amphetamine
Mech
Increase NET activity
more NE release
Faster kinetics than guanethidine/reserpine = gradual NE depletion
Large Tyramine load?
wine, cheese, beer, fava beans
- MAO cleans tyramine, so MAO taken up
- up NE = HTN
- NO MAOIs w/ large tyramine load
Block NET, Up synaptic NE
Rx
Cocaine
Imipramine TOFRANIL
Atomoxetine ASENDIN
