Four classes of long acting bronchodilators 1. inflammatory mediators inhibitor 2. beta adrinergic agonists 3. leukotriene antagonists 4. phosphodiesterase inhibitors
mediators that actively constrict smooth muscle (4) histamine, seratonin, platelet activating factor, leukotrienes
receptors that NE and Epi act on beta 1 and 2; alpha 1 and 2 adrinergic receptors
receptors that Ach acts on & ultimate effect in the airway M1 and M2 receptors (smooth muscle contraction in airway)
Digoxin cardiac glycoside - increases contractlity by increasing intracellular [Ca++] tx-heart failure
Dopamine Dopamine agonist low doses: incr. CO, TPR, venous tone. High doses: incr. TPR, pulmonary vascular resistance, produces vasoconstriction
positive inotropes improve cardiac function by increasing contractility. drug classes: beta adrinergic, dopamine agonists, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, cardiac glycosides tx-heart failure
cardiac antihypertensives decrease afterload of heart. beta blockers, Ca++ channel blockers tx-HT, heart failure
beta adrinergic agonists - prototype drugs (3) isoproteronol (B1 and 2), Dobutamine (B1), Terbutaline (B2)
Dobutamine Beta 1 adrinergic agonist (cardioselective) tx-cardiogenic shock, heart failure
Terbutaline Beta 2 adrinergic agonist Tx- asthma, emphysema
Isoproteronol Beta 1 and 2 adrinergic agonist (not cardioselective)
Milnirone phosphodiesterase inhibitor (results in incresed Ca++ release) tx-heart failure, pulmonary problems
Brimonidine sympathomimetic - alpha 2 agonist tx. HT
Norephinephrine alpha 1 agonist - vasoconstrictor tx-hypovolemia
prazosin aplha 1 blocker (causes vasodilation) tx-HT
Clonidine alpha 2 antagonist - sympatholytic - tx-HT
Furosemide Diuretic - decr. blood volume tx-HT, edema, CHF, renal failure
positive inotropes increase contractility to increase BP (classes: Beta adrinergic and dopamine agonists) tx-circulatory shock
mecamylamine ganglionic blocker, nicotinic antagonist tx-severe hypertension (crisis), BP control during aortic surgery
Tolcapone COMT inhibitor - leads to incr. brain [dopamine] tx-parkinsons
Verapamil Ca++ channel blocker (most potent negative chronotrope, inotrope, dromotrope) tx-hypertension
Propanolol B1 and B2 blocker (noncardioselective w/o ISA)
Zafirlukast long acting bronchodilator (anti-inflammatory) blocks leukotriene receptors. tx-asthma

Atenolol B1 blocker (cardioselective w/o ISA)
Acebutolol B1 blocker (cardioselective w/ISA)
Propanolol B1 and B2 blocker (NON cardioselective) tx-HT
Atropine Anthicholinergetic (muscarinic antagonist) tx-produce mydriasis, decr. airway secretions during intubation
Tolterodine anticholinergic (muscarininc antagonist) tx-overactive bladder
Sites of adrinergic drug action (6) 1. synthesis 2. vesicular packaging 3. release 4. receptor binding 5. re-uptake 6. metabolism
Metyrosine blocks synthesis of NE tx-pheocromacytoma (causes HT)
Reserpine blocks vesicular packaging of NE tx-Ht

cardiac effects of Ach parasympathetic response (decr. HR, Decr. contractility) MOA-activation of K+ channels, inhibittion of Ca++ channels, adenylyl cyclase
Cardiac effects of NE/Epi sypathetic response - incr. HR, inr. contractility MOA - activate adenyly cyclase, activate Ca++ channels

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.
