Sympathomimetic Agon
Pharm Y2B2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| alpha 1 | radial m. contracts - mydriasis |
| alpha 2 | trabecular network - increase outflow of aqueous humor |
| beta 2 | ciliary process - increase synthesis of aqueous humor |
| alpha 2 | ciliary process - decrease synthesis of aqueous humor |
| beta 2 | lungs - dilate |
| beta 1 | heart rate increase |
| beta 1 | heart force increase |
| alpha 1 | arteries - constrict |
| beta 2 | skeletal muscles - dilate |
| beta 2 | skeletal muslce increase contractility |
| alpha 1 | spleen - contract |
| alpha 2 | platelet aggregation - increase |
| alpha 1 | apocrine glands - increase |
| alpha 1, beta 2 | glycogenolysis - increase |
| beta 3 | increase lipolysis |
| alpha 2 | insulin decrease |
| beta 2 | insulin increase |
| beta | glucagon increase |
| alpha 2, beta 2 | GI tract - relax wall |
| beta 1 | renin secretion - increase |
| alpha 1 | nasal, salivary, gastric - decrease secretion |
| beta 2 | bladder wall - relax |
| alpha 1 | contract internal sphincter |
| alpha 1 | contract ureter |
| alpha 1 | contract prostate capsule |
| beta 2 | uterus pregnant relax |
| alpha 1 | contract - detumescence penile arteries |
| alpha 2 | SNS post.gan. nerve terminal (decrease) |
| epinephrine | DOC for asthma (beta 2) and anaphylactic shock |
| epinephrine | increase duration of local anesthesia b/c alpha 1 receptors induce vasoconstriction |
| epinephrine | ADR: tachycardia, hemorrhage, adverse CNS effects, pulmonary edema |
| epinephrine | increase HR, increase systolic BP, dilate blood vessels in skeletal muscle (antogonize induced by histamines and leukotrienes) |
| epinephrine | topically used to vasoconstrict blood vessels (alpha 1) |
| norepinephrine | rise in peripheral resistance due to intense vasoconstriction (alpha 1) |
| norepinephrine | ARD: bradycardia: due to baroreceptor vagal reflex; increase BP |
| norepinephrine | used to treat shock b/c it increases vascular resistance |
| metaraminol | use for shock Tx over norepi. b/c it does not reduce blood flow to the kidneys |
| alpha and beta non-selective | epinephrine and norepinephrine |
| alpha-methyldopa | alpha 2 agonist; DOC in Tx hypertension in pts w/ renal insufficiency |
| alpha-methyldopa | DOC for hypertension in pregnancy |
| alpha-methyldopa | ADR: hepatotoxic, hemolytic anemia |
| dobutamine | 2 isomers, w/ net result being selective beta 1 agonist |
| dobutamine | increase contractility and cardiac output in CHF pts; good over sympathomimetic drugs b/c no effect on beta 2 receptors in myocardium |
| dobutamine | tolerance w/ prolonged use; use w/ caution in A-fib pts |
| selective beta 2 agonists | albuterol, bitolterol, salmeterol, ritodrine |
| albuterol | used for acute bronchospasm (bronchodilate), prevent exercise-induced asthma |
| albuterol | bronchodilation, anti-inflammatory, inhibit release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells; increase mucous clearance by cilia |
| albuterol | ADR: tremor, tachycardia, arrhythymias, death? |
| ritodrine | arrest premature labor (relax uterus) |
| ritodrine | ARD: cardiac stim., hypotension, neonatal hypoglycemia |
| dopamine | DOC for shock; increases BP by alpha 1 receptors, and increases blood flow to splanchnic areas and kidneys |
| dopamine | "renal dose" <2ug/kg/min - dilate renal, mesenteric, coronary vessels (stimulates D1 and D2 receptors) |
| dopamine | medium dose (2-10) - beta 1 agonist: positive inotropic effect |
| dopamine | high dose (10 +) - alpha 1 agonist: vasoconstriction |
| fenoldopam | D1 agonist, IV admin. for severe hypertension (vasodilates) |
| fenoldopam | ADR: dose-related hypotension, tacy, headache, flushing |
| MAO-A I | role in adrenergic nerve terminals, metabolizes NE, EPI, and serotonin; inhibited by clorgyline |
| MAO-B | found in serotonin and histaminergic nerve terminal, metabolizes dopamine (phenethylamine) |
| selegiline | used in Parkinson's; inhibits MAO-B; less risk for "cheese rxn" |
| MAO inhibitors | inhibition occurs w/in a few days, but drugs take a couple of wks to kick in |
| MAO-A | Tx for resistant depression |
| MAO inhibitors | fatal intracranial bleed; mc: postural hypotension; anti-ACH, sexual dysfxn |
| serotonin syndrome | HT, shivering, diaphoresis, muscle rigidity, fever, agitation, hallucinations |
