MUSCARINIC ANTAGONISTS
A. CLASSIFICATION AND PHARMACOKINETICS
Subdivided into
Most of the drugs in the market
2. Nonselective
3
Cholinoreceptor antagotists are divided into two:
-Muscarinic, blocks parasympathetic autonomic discharge. Atropine is the prototype of these drugs.
-Nicotinic, competitively block the actions of acetylcholine at nicotinic receptors of both parasympathetic and sympathetic ganglia.
MUSCARINIC
NICOTINIC

Nicotinic
6
Prototype nonselective muscarinic
blocker
Derivative of a deadly night shade
Atropa belladona and other plants
ATROPINE
7
Tertiary amine
Relatively lipid soluble
Crosses membrane barriers
Well distributed in the CNS and other
organs
ATROPINE
8
Eliminated partially by metabolism in
the liver
Partially by renal excretion
Elimination half-life is 2 hours
ATROPINE
9
Duration of action of normal doses is
4-8 hours in all organs
For the eye, it last for 72 hours
Salivary or bronchial glands are
sensitive to the effect of atropine
ATROPINE
10
organ affected by muscarinic antagonists
Sedation, hallucination, drowsiness, antimotion sickness action, antiparkinson action, amnesia
CNS
11
organ affected by muscarinic antagonists
Mydriasis, cyclopegia, lacrimal glands become dry and sandy
eye
12
organ affected by muscarinic antagonists
Initial bradycardia at low doses then tachycardia
heart
13
organ affected by muscarinic antagonists
Bronchodilation, decrease in bronchial secretions
Respiratory
14
organ affected by muscarinic antagonists
Relaxation, decrease motility, antidiarrheal, prolongs gastric
emptying time
GIT
15
organ affected by muscarinic antagonists
Relaxation of the bladder wall, urinary retention
gut
16
organ affected by muscarinic antagonists
Decrease secretion, salivation, lacrimation, sweating
gland
17
organ affected by muscarinic antagonists
None
skeletal muscle
18
EFFECTS OF INCREASING DOSE OF
ATROPINE
(7)
Decrease bronchial and salivary
secretions
Decrease sweating
Mydriasis
Tachycardia
Urinary hesitancy
Decrease intestinal motility
Decrease gastric secretion
