Drugs, ANS Flashcards
Somatic nervous system receptors
nAChR, nonselective cation channel, NMJ
Parasympathetic receptor
nAChR in ganglia and NMJ, mAChR in target cell, cholinergic
Sympathetic receptor
nACHR in ganglia, adrenergic (NE) in target cell, exception no postganglionic neuron in adrenal medulla, exception mAChR in sweat glands
Muscarinic receptor locations
M1: brain
M2: heart, eyes
M3: exocrine glands, gut, eyes, bronchioles, bladder
adrenergic receptor locations
a1: nonskeletal muscle arterioles, gut and eye sphincters, GI secretions
a2: presynaptic terminal
B1: heart
B2: skeletal muscle arterioles, lungs, gut and eye secretions
B3: bladder
Types of adrenergic receptors and second messengers
a1: Gq
a2: Gi
B1: Gs
B2: Gs
B3: Gs
Types of muscarinic cholinergic receptors and second messengers
M1: Gi
M2: Gq
Gq pathway
PLC, IP3 and DAG, Ca2+ (calmodulin, NO) and PKC
Gs pathway
Adenylyl cyclase , cAMP, PKA
Gi pathway
Blocks adenylyl cyclase, less cAMP, less PKA
Anticholinesterases
Edrophonium
Pyridostigmine
Botulinum toxin
Anti-AChE by cleaving snares
Stop: wrinkles, sweat, muscle spasms
Edrophonium
Anti-AChE, reversible
Diagnose myasthenia gravis, reverse NMJ blockade
Pyridostigmine
Anti-AChE
Treat myasthenia gravis
mAChR agonists
Cevimeline
Methacholine
mAChR blockers
Atropine
Darifenacin
Acetylcholine
Agonist of mAChR and nAChR
Used in cataract surgery
Succinylcholine
Partial nAChR agonist
Depolarizing NMJ blocker
Muscle relaxation
