Flap 1
Flap 2
alpha-1   Gq; increaes vasculr smooth muscle contraction  
alpha-2   Gi; decrease sym outflow; decrease insuline release  
beta-1   Gs; heart- increase HR, contractility; increase renin release, increase lipolysis, maintains aqueous humor formation  
beta-2   Gs; lungs- vasodilation, bronchodilation; heart- increase HR, contractility; increase lipolysis, increase glucagon release  
M1   Gq; in brain; CNS, enteric nervous system  
M2   Gi; decrease HR, contractility  
M3   Gq; increase exocrinie gland secretions, increase gut peristalsis, increase bladder contraction  
D1   Gs; relaxes renal vascular smooth muscle  
D2   Gi; modulates transmitter release, especially in brain  
H1   Gq; increase nasal and bronchial mucus production, contraction of bronchioles, pruritis, pain  
H2   Gs; increase gastric acid secretion  
V1   Gq; increase vascular smooth muscle contraction  
V2   Gs; increase water permeability and reabsorption in the collecting tubles of kidney  
Gq receptors   H1, alpha-1, V1, M1, M3 (HAVe 1 M&M)  
Gs receptors   B1, B2, D1, H2, V2  
Gi receptors   M2, alpha-2, D2 (MAD 2's)  
Gq protein MOA   PLC --> PIP2 --> IP3 and DAG --> increase Ca++ in and PKC  
Gs protein MOA   adenylyl cyclase --> cAMP --> PKA  
Gi protein MOA   inhib adenylate cyclase -->decreased cAMP --> inhib PKA

muscarinic antag; produces mydriasis and cycloplegia   atropine  
muscarinic antag; use in Parkinson's   benztropine  
muscarinic antag; use for motion sickness   scopolamine  
muscarinic antag; used in asthma, COPD   ipratropium  
muscarinic antag; use to reduce urgency in mild cystitis and reduce bladder spasms   oxybutynin  
muscarinic antag; use for peptic ulcer treatment   propantheline, methoscopolamine, glycopyrrolate  
glaucoma drugs   alpha-agonists (epi, brimonidine), beta-blockers (timolol), cholinergics (pilocarpine), diuretics (acetazolamide, mannitol), PG (latanoprost)  
1st line for glaucoma   latanoprost (PG)  
glaucoma drug that increases outflow of aqueous humor   pilocarpine  
atropine contraindications   glaucoma, BPH, GI obstruction, dementia, infants with fever  
atropine   muscarinic antag; (blocks ACh effects); used to treat cholinesterase inhibitor poisoning (insecticides)  
parathion   AChE inhibitor in insecticides --> HIGH amounts of ACh; get DUMBBELS  
effects of atropine   muscarinic antag --> decreased ACh effects; increased temp, decrease secretions, peripheral vasodilation, mydriasis, agitation, urinary retention, constipation  
hexamethonium   nicotinic antag; blocks both sym and parasym; prevents reflex bradycardia caused by NE  
epi   alpha-1, alpha-2, beta-1, beta-2 sympathomimetic  
NE   alpha-1, alpha-2 > beta-1 sympathomimetic  
isoproterenol   beta-1 = beta-2 sympathomimetic  
dopamine   D1 = D2 > B > alpha sympathomimetic  
dobutamine   beta-1 > beta-2 sympathomimetic  
phenylephrine   alpha-1 > alpha-2 sympathomimetic  
albuterol   beta-2 > beta-1 sympathomimetic
