QuestionAnswer
Parasympathomimetic Fx Miosis, ciliary contraction, aq humor outflow, lacrimation, salivation + gastric secretion, gastric emptying + urination, EDRF/NO production (orphan M3, low dose), dec chrono/ino/dromotropy (M2, high doses), bronchoconstriction (M3), pulmonary secretions
Glaucoma Inc IOP > 30 mmHg due to resistance to outflow of aq humor. Primary - due to alteration in the eye; open angle - slow onset due to aging; angle closure/narrow angle - rapid onset due to obstruction (tx surgery)
Myasthenia gravis Auto-ABs attack Nm receptors: ptosis (droopy eyelids), diplopia (eye mvmt, vision), difficulty swallowing + chewing, weakness, dyspnea
Methacholine Methyl at β-carbon provides steric hindrance to AChE metab and imparts muscarinic selectivity
Carbachol Carbamylated ACh, slower rate of hydrolysis. Non-selective cholinergic agonist. Glaucoma: inc aq humor drainage thru trabecular meshwork into Schlemm's canal to bloodstream. SEs: short-term blurred far/dark vision
Bethanechol Carbamylated methacholine, slower rate of hydrolysis. Muscarinic agonist. Post-surgical GI/bladder atony: short-term tx promotes GI + bladder contraction. Contraindicated: PUD (XS secretions), urinary tract obstruction, systemic SE concern
Muscarine Naturally-occurring alkaloid. Muscarinic agonist
Pilocarpine Naturally-occurring alkaloid. Muscarinic agonist with CNS activity. Glaucoma: inc aq humor drainage thru trabecular meshwork into Schlemm's canal to bloodstream. SEs: short-term blurred far/dark vision
Edrophonium Competitive, reversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form carbamylated enzyme, less readily hydrolyzed. Reversed by inc ACh. Used to diagnose myasthenia gravis: v short-acting, expected to improve skeletal muscle mvmt. SEs: systemic
Donepezil Competitive, reversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form carbamylated enzyme, less readily regenerated. Reversed by inc ACh. CNS activity
Pyridostigmine Non-competitive, reversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form carbamylated enzyme, less readily regenerated. Not displaced by ACh. Myasthenia gravis: slow onset, longer duration
Neostigmine Non-competitive, reversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form carbamylated enzyme, less readily regenerated. Not displaced by ACh. Myasthenia gravis: rapid onset
Physostigmine Non-comp, reversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form carbamylated enzyme, less readily regenerated. Not displaced by ACh. Glaucoma: inc aq humor drainage thru trabecular meshwork into Schlemm's canal to bloodstream. SEs: short-term blurred far/dark vision
Demarcarium Non-competitive, reversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form carbamylated enzyme, less readily regenerated. Not displaced by ACh
Ambenonium Non-competitive, reversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form carbamylated enzyme, less readily regenerated. Not displaced by ACh.
Echothiophate Irreversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form phosphorylated enzyme, v resistant to hydrolysis, esp after aging. Glaucoma: inc aq humor drainage thru trabecular meshwork into Schlemm's canal to bloodstream. SEs: short-term blurred far/dark vision
Parathion + Malathion Insecticides. Irreversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form phosphorylated enzyme, v resistant to hydrolysis, esp after aging
Sarin, Soman, Tabun Nerve gases. Irreversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form phosphorylated enzyme, v resistant to hydrolysis, esp after aging
Pralidoxime (2-PAM) attaches to Ser site + nucleophilic attack dephosphorylates enzyme to regenerate. AChEI antidote

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
