Cholinergics/Adrenergics

QuestionAnswer
Pralidoxime Frees acetylcholinesterase to active unit. for treatment of cholinergic overdose
Phyrostigmine AchE inhibitor; glaucoma treatment. can penetrate CNS
Neostigmine AchE inhibitor; Myasthenia Gravis treatment
Edrophonium quaternary alcohol, forms ionic interactions with AchE (competitive inhibitor), diagnose myasthenia gravis
Carbamate Competitive inhibitor of AchE
DFP organophosphate, irreversible cholinesterase inhibitor, glaucoma
Bethanechol muscarinic agonist, resists AchE (treat bladder atony)
Carbachol muscarinic/nicotinic agonist; applied topically to treat glaucoma by opening canals of Schlemm
Pilocarpine muscarinic agonist which is not a substrate for AchE (long lasting); glaucoma
Methacholine muscarinic receptor agonist; resists hydrolysis by AchE, test for bronchial asthma
Trimethaphan hypertensive emergencies, counteracts cholinergic transmission at ganglion (like nicotine), nondepolarizing competitive antagonist at nicotinic receptor
scopalomine anticholinergic, lots of CNS axn; nausea
atropine anticholinergic
ipratopium anticholinergic, used to treat bronchial constriction
nicotine depolarizing noncompetitive cholinergic ganglionic blocker (kind of like trimethaphan) starts excitatory, then depression at ALL ANS ganglion
vecuronium competitive nAchR blocker (at NMJ); no histamine release, short duration of axn
hemicholinium-3, triethylcholine blocks uptake of choline (rate limiting step for acetylcholine release)
d tubocurarine ccompetitve and nondepolarizing nAchR at NMJ blocker, causes some bronchoconstriction due to histamine release
atracurium shorter duration of axn than tubocurarine, some histamine release
mivacurium nAChR blocker at NMJ; low histamine release, really short acting
succinylcholine depolarizing nAchR blocker at NMJ
MAO inhibitor increase serotinin, dopamine levels by blocking metabolism
clorgylin antidepression MAOI
selegiline MAOI, adjuvant to Parkinson's tx
tyramine taken up by NE reuptake vessels preferentially (increases NE in synaptic junction)
amphetamine taken up by NE reuptake vessels preferentially (increases NE in synaptic junction), also adrenergic drug
cocaine competitively inhibits NE/EPI neuronal uptake
impramine tricyclic antidepressant, competitively inhibits NE/EPI neuronal uptake
reserpine irreversibly inhibits vesicular uptake system where DOPA is taken up in storage vesicles and is converted to NE so decreases intraneuronal NE; treats hypertension/psychosis
guanethidine inhibits noradrenergic nerve function by being preferentially taken up in neuronal cellsso have accumulation in sympathetic nerves so decrease NE but mostly block release (exocytosis) of NE
alpha 1 selective antagonists tarazosin, doxazosin, tamsulosin; hypertension tx without blocking alpha 2 so don't get extra NE release (tachycardia)
beta 1 selective antagonist metoprolol, atenolol, esmolol; specifically target cardiac output (not vasodilation), can still use EPI for rescue therapy
propanolol non selective beta blocker, used for hypertensive patients, decrease HR and CO, decrease BP
pindolol nonselective partial Beta agonist
carvedilol 3rd generation beta blocker, antagonist to b1, b2 and a1 receptors, used in CHF to decrease arrhythmias, increase ejection fraction and decrease hypertrophy
labetolol 3rd generation beta blocker, antagonist to b1, b2 partial agonist and a1 receptors,, used in hypertensive emergencies, treat hypertension
timolol glaucoma tx, non selective beta blocker, decrease formation of aq humor
dopabutamine beta receptor agonist, circulatory shock tx, decrease CO without increasing SVR
dopamine weak beta 1 recetpor agonist, increase CO, dopamine receptors on vascular SM lead to vasodilation and increased perfusion of vital organs without increasing bp
albuterol, salmeterol beta 2 agonists, albuterol is used for rescue thereapy, salmeterol with steroid = advair, lipphilic long acting be2 receptor agonist
sumatriptan 5HT1D receptor agonist, used to treat migraines, decresae proinflammatory peptide release, constriction of blood vessels to shunt to ischemic areas
dipivefrin prodrug for epi used to great glaucoma, increase outflow of aqueous humor and decrease formation of aq humor
phenylephrine alpha 1 agonist, treat hypotension, paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, mydriasis: contraction of pupils.
epinephrine inhibits mast cell degranulation
isoproterenol poor alpha agonist, good b2/b1 agonist
clonidine acts in CNS on a2 receptors to decresae sympathetic outflow, good for withdrawal from addiction

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.
