sketchy pharm Flashcards
(114 cards)
What type of receptor is the one for the adrenal medulla?
NICOTINIC acetylcholine (for producing Epi/Norepi and shit)
M1
CNS, Enteric (GI) nervous system—Gq (IP3/DAG)
M2
Heart—namely decreasing (Atria, SA, AV)—it is Gi after all
M3
Glands, bladder, smooth muscles, smooth muscle of eye
Also VESSELS—-causes release of Nitric oxide from endothelial cells and you get more cGMP and muscarinic effects. So you vasodilate
Nicotinic vs Muscarinic receptors
Nicotinic: Ion channels
M1: Gq (IP3/DAG)
M2: Gi (lowering cAMP)
M3: Gq (IP3/DAG)
What happens to M3 in atherosclerosis
the vascular epithelial damage from atherosclerosis stimualtes muscarinic receptors and you get VASOCONSTRICTION (instead of dilation)
Bethanechol
Cholemimetic. Mostly used for secretion and motor activation of gut
(eg neurogenic ileus, post op ileus–NONobstructive GI)
Or to increase urinary secretion (again NONobstructive)
Pilocarpine
Increases salivation
Treat glaucoma (reduce IOP by contracting ciliary body—relaxing it and accomodating lens—so muscle basedi t sounds like)
also causes miosis (activating sphincter pupil muscle in acute angle closure glaucoma)
Carbachol
both muscarinic and nicotinic
Methacholine
muscarinic stimulant; contracts bronchial smooth muscle tree-> exacerbate COPD and asthma
Vareniciline
partial nicotinic agonist used for smoking cessation (provides some degree of stimulation to get rid of craving Im guessing)
Tertiary vs Quatenary Acetylcholine esterase inhibitors and significance
Quatenary can’t cross the BBB (pyrido,neo,edrophonium)
Tertiary can (Physostigmine)
Long term management of MG
Pyridostigmine
Neostigmine less used
Edrophonium for the challenge aka tensilon test
Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents
curare compounds
tubocurarine, pancuronium, cistracurium
Reverse effects with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors afterwards.
Depolarizing NM block agent
Succinylcholine (doesn’t get metabolized, aggressively binds)—PHASE S1 block of depolarizing blockade. IRREVERSIBLE (cholinesterase inhibitors wont do shit)
phase 2 it will
Neostigmine post surgery
Neostigmine for post op bladder and urinary retention
Physosigmine use
used for atropine overdose (Jimson weed, or belladonna flower)—competitive block so can be overcome
Type of paralysis in acetylcholine esterase inhibitor overdose
flaccid paralysis (BB SLUDGE guy, could be frmo organophosphates for example)
Use of pralidoxime & atropine
regeneration of choline esterase; affects NICOTINIC components, CANT CROSS BBB
Atropine: CAN cross BBB, but can’t affect nicotinic receptors (so can’t affect paralysis)
Why do you need to traet organopsophate-choliensterase complex fast?
“Aging” effect where the bond becomes irreversible
Galnatime, Rivasgmine, Donepezil
all acetylcholinesterase inhibitors that can treat Alzheimers
Antimuscarinic blockers
Atropine Ipratropium Tiotropium Oxybutynin Tolterodine Scoloplamine Benzotropine Trihexylphenidyl obviously side effects for shit like TCAs too
Major side effects of TMP-SMX (or at least unique)
Pancytopenia, megaloblastic anemia, teratagogenic (neural tube defects), interstital nephritis, Renal tubular acidosis (type IV), CYP450 inhibitor, photosensitivity, kernicterus, SJS, hemolytic anemia g6pd
major side effect Ethambutol
optic neuritis (red green colorblindness)
