ACH Pharm
cholinergic pharm
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cholinomimetic agents | mimic ACH by binding and activating the receptor (Direct acting)OR Cholinesterase Inhibitors (indirect acting) |
| Muscarinic transmembrane signaling by | G protein linked receptor |
| Nictoinic transmembrane signaling by | Ion channel |
| Esters of Choline | Direct binders ACE, methacoline, carbachol, BETHANECHOL |
| Absorption of esters of choline | poor d/t charge |
| Alkaloids of ACH | Muscarine Pilocarpine Nicotine |
| Absorption of alkaloids | pilocarpine and nictotine absorb well Muscarine not as well absorbed but mushrooms in gut can cause toxicity |
| Elimination of direct cholinomimetics | kidneys....so excretion can be accelerated by decreasing PH of urine |
| Choinomimetics effects | Eye: miosis,accomodation to outflow aqueous humor CV: decrease PVR, decrease HR, EDRF released RESP: contraction of bronchials and increase mucous GI: increase secretory and motor activity in gut, sphincters relaxed |
| Simple alcohol ACHE Inhibitor | edrophonium |
| Carbomic acid esters of alchol ACHE inhibitor | NEOSTIGMINE and PHYSOSTIGMINE covalent bond lasting 30mins to 6 hours |
| Organic derivatives of phosphoric acid | covalent bonding lasting hours and hours Organophosphates (ex isoflurophate) used for pesticides |
| physostigmine | treat glaucoma, atopine intoxication, OD of TCA |
| neostigmine | reverse succ. inrease the tone of esophageal sphincter- decreasing esophagitis Treatment of Myasthenia Gravis |
