Q

amphetamine

A

indirect adrenergic agonist, releaser; treats ADHD, narcolepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome; causes vesicle transporter to pump norepinephrine into the varicosity and then uptake transport pumps it into the effector cell junction -> activate adrenergic receptors

Q

prazosine

Study These Flashcards
A

a1 antagonist; use for chronic hypertension; 1st dose effect, epinephrine reversal

21
Q

tamsulosin

Study These Flashcards
A

a1A antagonist; use to treat prostate hyperplasia -> relaxes smooth muscle, pressure on urethra -> improve urination

22
Q

propranolol

Study These Flashcards
A

B1, B2 antagonist; use for lowering BP, vasodilation even though _2 blocked; contraindicated in asthmatics and T1D patients

23
Q

timolol

Study These Flashcards
A

B1, B2 antagonist; treats glaucoma, reduces aqueous humor synthesis; contraindicated in asthmatics and T1D patients

24
Q

metoprolol

Study These Flashcards
A

B1 antagonist; lowers BP, can be used in asthmatics and T1D patients

25
labetalol
a1 antagonist, B receptor partial agonist; 3rd generation B blocker, lowers BP
26
Reserpine
indirect antagonist; lowers BP (less binding to a1, B1) irreversibly binds to VMAT so norepinephrine can not enter vesicles and instead broken down by MAO; can enter CNS -> parkinsonism
27
Botulinum toxin
in cholerginic fibers, prevent fusion of storage vesicles to the membrane -> treat cerebral palsy, particular spastic muscles
28
Black widow spider venom
in cholerginic fibers, causes massive fusion of storage vesicles to the membrane
29
Acetylcholine
cholinergic agonists, choline esters; rapidly hydrolysed by cholinesterases
30
Carbachol
cholinergic agonists, choline esters; has muscarinic and nicotinic activity; only used as eye drops to treat glaucoma
31
Bethanechol
cholinergic agonists, choline esters; has only muscarinic activity; treats paralytic ileus and bladder atony
32
Pilocarpine
cholinergic agonists, alkaloids; has only muscarinic activity; treats xerostomia (saliva production is reduced) and glaucoma
33
Adverse effects of muscarinic agonists
SLUD (salivation, lacrimation, urination, defecation); bronchiolar smooth muscle contraction
34
Donepezil
Rapidly reversible non-covalent cholinesterase inhibitors; treats Alzheimer's disease
35
Physostigmine
Rapidly reversible covalent carbamate cholinesterase inhibitors; treats glaucoma, only used topically
36
Neostigmine
Rapidly reversible covalent carbamate cholinesterase inhibitors; treats glaucoma (systemically), co-administered with bethanechol, treat myasthenia gravis
37
Carbaryl
Rapidly reversible covalent carbamate cholinesterase inhibitors; used in pesticides, can cause cholinergic crises (SLUD)
38
Echothiophate
Slowly reversible organophosphate cholinesterase inhibitors; treats glaucoma (topically), 1 drop every 4 days
39
Parathion
Slowly reversible organophosphate cholinesterase inhibitors; used as an agricultural pesticide
40
Soman
Slowly reversible organophosphate cholinesterase inhibitors; nerve gas -> very potent, volatile, lipid soluble, aging occurs instantly
41
2-PAM
antidote that is better at removing phosphate on serine hydroxyl of cholinesterase than water, but can not stop aging; can not be used for carbamate toxicity since it makes it worse
42
Atropine
natural alkaloid muscarinic blocker; many indications -> opposite effects of parasymathetic response but can cause increased body temperature and dry mouth
43
Scopolamine
natural alkaloid muscarinic blocker; anti-nausea
44
Ipratropium
synthetic quaternary amine muscarinic blocker; treats asthma
45
Benztropine
synthetic tertiary amine muscarinic blocker; reduces severity of early state Parkinson's disease
46
Mecamylamine
ganglionic blocker; acts in ANS to treat hypertension; side effect - orthostatic hypotension
47
How to treat organophosphate intoxication?
2-PAM and atropine
48
How to treat carbamate intoxication ?
Atropine
