How symp drugs work
short preganglionic - AcH, long postganglionic - NE (into SC - then to multiple organs at once) NE R = Adrenergic R’s
A1
“aggressive alpha 1”
vascular smooth muscle contraction
Inc TPR/BP/bladder sphincter contraction, mydriasis
A2
Negative feedback of NE (onto presynaptic R)
Found: B cells (pancreas), some smooth muscle
decrease NE/insulin release
Tx - some HTN
B1
“think heart increase”
Tachycardia / Inc HR / Inc myocardial contract
B2
“Dilate everything!”
vasodilation (w resulting inc HR), bronchodilation
dec uterine tone
1 R type predominates body location:
vascular smooth muscle, heart, lungs
VSM: B2 > A1
Heart: B1
Lungs: B2
Sympathomimetics - Direct/Indirect
Direct - bind adrenergic R
Indirect - release of catecholamines from presynaptic
- inhibit uptake of catecholamines
E, NE, Albuterol/Levalbuterol/Salmeterol, DA, Dobutamine, Phenylephrine, Terbutaline
Epinephrine
Direct
A1, A2, B1, B2
Tx: anaphylaxis, severe croup, hypotension
NE
Direct
A1, A2, B1
Tx: hypotension, (#1 for) septic/cardiogenic shock (stop vasodilation)
Albuterol/Levalbuterol/Salemterol
Direct
B2 (strong), weak B1
asthma
DA
Direct
low dose - blood vessels, kidneys
med dose - B1, B2
high dose - A1, A2 “aggressive alpha”
Dobutamine
Direct
B1 > B2
stress test
tx: HF
Phenylephrine
Direct
A1 > A2
Pupillary dilation
Tx: Nasal decongestion
Terbutaline
Direct
B2 (strong), weak B1
(sometimes given subQ for asthma)
tx: bronchospasm, tocolysis (stop premature uterine contraction)
Amphetamines
Indirect - release cats
tx: narcolepsy, obesity, ADHD
Ephedrine
Indirect - release cats
tx: oral and nasal decongestion, urinary incontinence
Cocaine
Indirect - inhibit reuptake of cats
tx: ENT nasal decongestion, local anesthetic
Isoproterenol
B1, B2
Causes:
-increase CO
-increase dilation (decrease vascular resistance)
Clonidine
Direct
A2
tx: malignant HTN, sedative
SFx = sudden stop - rebound HTN
Sympathetic blockers
A nonselective, A1 selective, B nonselective, B1 selective, B1B2 weak agonists, A1/B1 blockers
Prazosin, Doxazosin, Terazosin
A1 selective blocker
tx: BPH (#1), HTN
Sfx: Postural hypotension, Reflex tachycardia,
Rebound HTN
Tamsulosin
A1(A,D) selective blocker (R only found in prostate)
tx: BPH without HTN
Phenoxybutamine (irrev binds), Phentolamine
non-selective A-blocker
tx: acute pheochromcytoma
Propanolol, Timolol, Nadolol
nonselective B blocker
Timolol, Nadolol (topical) - tx: Glaucoma
Propanolol - anxiety
