Vesamical
Inhibits the concentration of ACh in vesicles by vesicular ACh transporters (VAT)
Methyl Mercury
Inhibits ACh
Botulinum Toxin (BoTox)
Inhibits the Ca dependent release of ACh mediated SNAREs (soluble attachment protein receptors)
Hemicholinium
Inhibits the choline transporter (CHT) responsible for choline reuptake in the pre-synaptic cleft
Tyramine
Inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine by the NE transporters (NETs)
*Serve as a ligand for NETs resulting in Ca release
Amphetamine
Inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine by the NE transporters (NETs)
*Serve as a ligand for NETs resulting in Ca release
Cocaine
Non-competitive inhibitor of NETs through allosteric regulation

Cholinomimetic Drug Uses
Management of Glaucoma, GI and Bladder dysfunction, MG, mild Alzheimer’s disease, and surgery to produce muscle relaxation.
Bethanechol
Non-specific cholinomimetic
Uses: post-op Neurogenic Illeus (bowel obstruction from interruption of the ENS)/ urinary retention, Glaucoma (contraction of ciliary muscle, = miosis)
Toxicity: SLUDGEM & bronchospasm, esp. in asthmatics
No CNS
*Direct acting
MOA: full agonist at M1-M3, little effect on N
Effects: ^secretions, smooth muscle contract., vHR
Carbachol
Non-specific cholinomimetic
Uses: post-op Neurogenic Illeus (bowel obstruction from interruption of the ENS)/ urinary retention, Glaucoma (contraction of ciliary muscle, = miosis)
Toxicity: SLUDGEM & bronchospasm, esp. in asthmatics
No CNS
*Direct acting
MOA: full agonist at M1-M3, little effect on N
Effects: ^secretions, smooth muscle contract., vHR
Methacholine
Non-specific cholinomimetic
Uses: post-op Neurogenic Illeus (bowel obstruction from interruption of the ENS)/ urinary retention, Glaucoma (contraction of ciliary muscle, = miosis)
Toxicity: SLUDGEM & bronchospasm, esp. in asthmatics
No CNS
*Direct acting
MOA: full agonist at M1-M3, little effect on N
Effects: ^secretions, smooth muscle contract., vHR
Muscarine
Muscarinic cholinomimetics
Uses: Glaucoma/Sjogrens Syndrome
Effects: ^secretions, smooth muscle contract., vHR
Toxicity: SLUDGEM, bronchospasm (asthmatics)
Partial CNS (in large quantities)
MOA: direct acting agonist, full agonist at M1-M3, no N effect
Pilocarpine
Muscarinic cholinomimetics
Uses: Glaucoma (eye drops)/Sjogrens Syndrome
Effects: ^secretions, smooth muscle contract., vHR
Toxicity: SLUDGEM, bronchospasm (asthmatics)
Readily crosses CNS
MOA: direct acting agonist, full agonist at M1-M3, little N effect
Nicotine
Nicotinic Cholinomimetic
Uses: Smoking cessation
Toxicity: GI upset, nausea, ^BP, seizures
Yes CNS
Lobeline
Nicotinic Cholinomimetic
Uses: Smoking cessation (similar to nicotine)
Toxicity: GI upset, nausea, ^BP, seizures
Yes CNS
Varenicline
Nicotinic Cholinomimetic
Uses: Smoking cessation
Toxicity: GI upset, nausea, ^BP, seizures
Yes CNS
MOA: partial agonist at Nn receptors, reduces DA release in response to nicotine. Inhibits full nicotinic response, reduces withdrawal, and aids in sensation of continued nicotine intake.
Edrophonium
Indirect-acting agonist (AChEIs) Uses: MG diagnosis Toxicity: SLUDGEM No CNS MOA: bind to AChE, competitive reversible, increase ACh time in the synapse
