ANS reversal agents Flashcards
(105 cards)
what converts dopamine to NE
dopamine beta hyroxylase
how is norepinephrine metabolized
reuptake (70%), the rest metabolized by monamine oxidase (MAO) and catecholomethyltranserase (COMT)
the alpha 1 receptor is ____synaptic
post
alpha 1 works in the
periphery
alpha 2 receptor is ___synaptic
pre
beta 1 receptor is in the
heart
beta 2 is in the
other smooth muscle
activation of alpha 1 increases
intracellular calcium
alpha 1 causes smooth muscle ___ and peripheral vaso___
contraction, vasoconstriction
which anticholinergics are tertiary amines
atropine and scopolamne
which anticholinergics are quaternary ammonium
glycopyrrolate
electrostatic attachment occurs with
edrophonium (competitive)
formation of caramyl esters occurs with
neo, phyido, physo (competitive)
phosphorylation occurs with
organophosphates and echothiophate (non-competitive inhibition)
how do AchE inhibitors work
they reversibly inhibit AchE, which indirectly increases the concentration of Ach at the neuromuscular junction. since more ach is present, it is better able to compete for the alpha binding sites on the nicotinic receptor and antagonize the block
neostigmine is ___ potent than pyridostigmine
more
50% of ___ is metabolized by the liver
neostigmine
which drugs are quaternary amines
endro, neo, phyrido
quaternary pass thru BBB?
no
tertiary amine pass thru BBB?
yes!
which is tertiary amine
physostigmine
AchE inhibitors cause ____ side effects
parasympathetic
why do AchE inhibitors cause cholinergic side effects
because there is more ach at the muscarinic receptor.
cholinergic side effects are
diarrhea , urination, miosis, bradycardia, bronchoconstriction, emesis, lacrimation, laxation, salivation
