Cholinergic
| Term | Definition | |
|---|---|---|
| Direct Acting Cholinergics | Alkaloids and Ester Choline | |
| Ester of Choline | Carbachol, Acetylcholine, Bethanechol, and Methacholine. | |
| Alkaloid | Pilocarpine. Muscarine and Arecholine | |
| Indirect Acting Cholinergics ( Reversibles) | 1. Carbamates -->Physostigmine, Neostigmine, Pyridostigmine, Edrophonium, Rivastigmine, Donepezil, Galantamine. 2. Acridine -->Tacrine | |
| Indirect Acting Cholinergics ( Irreversibles) | 1. Organophosphates --> Parathion, Malathion, Sarin, Tabun, Echothiophate, Diazinon, Soman. 2. Carbamates --> Carbaryl and Propoxur. | |
| Ester of Choline acts on which receptors? | Muscarine and Nicotine | |
| Muscarinic actions on the heart | 1a. Increase in potassium current in the SA and AV nodes --> Gi protein 1b. Increase the outflow of K+ ions. 1c. This makes the cell more negative --> hyperpolarization--> Difficult to reach the threshold. 1d. Decreases the excitability and slow HR | 2a. Decrease in the slow inward calcium current in heart cells. 2b. Decrease entry of calcium into the cells 2c. Decrease force of contraction. |
| Muscarinic actions on blood vessel | Dilated -->decreased BP by the release of Endothelium dependent relaxing factor (EDRF) – Nitric oxide. | |
| Muscarinic actions on Smooth muscles | GIT --> : ↑Tone & peristalsis & sphincter relax Gallbladder: contraction Urinary bladder: Detrusor muscle--> contraction, Trigone & sphincter: relaxes. Bronchial muscle: Bronchospasm Ureter: contraction | |
| Muscarinic actions on glands | ↑ Sweating, salivation, lacrimation, tracheobronchial and gastric secretion | |
| Muscarinic actions on eyes | Contraction of circular fibers of sphincter pupillae-->Miosis Contraction the ciliary muscle-->Spasm of accommodation. | |
| Muscarinic actions on Male sex organ | Erection – muscarinic actions Ejaculation | |
| Nicotinic actions on Autonomic ganglia | ↑ release of Ach & NA. | |
| Nicotinic actions on Skeletal muscle (NM junction) | Initial contraction. High doses --> paralysis of skeletal muscles by persistant depolarization. | |
| Nicotinic actions on Autonomic ganglia | Stimulation then depression. | |
| Interaction of Direct acting cholinergic | Atropine – antagonizes muscarinic actions. Adrenaline – physiological antagonist. Anticholnesterases potentate Ach. | |
| Adverse effects of Direct Acting cholinergic drugs. | D--> Diarrhea U--> Urinary incontinence M--> Miosis B--> Bronchoconstriction E--> Electrical Changes L--> Lacrimation S--> Salivation. | |
| Contra indications of ester of cholines | Angina Bronchial asthma Peptic ulcer Hyperthyroidism | |
| Uses of pilocarpine | Tx: Narrow angle and Wide angle glaucoma to reduce IOP. Reverse mydriatic effect of atropine. | |
| Antidote for acute pilocarpine poisoning | Atropine | |
| Absorption property of quaternary carbamates ( AchE) | The conjunctiva, skin and lungs is poor. Relatively insoluble in lipids. Except Physostigmine | |
| Malathion | rapidly metabolized to inactive products in birds and mammals but not in insects; safe. | |
| Parathion | Not detoxified effectively in vertebrate; it is dangerous to man | |
| Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors fall into three chemical groups. | 1. Simple alcohols bearing a quaternary ammonium --> edrophoniun; 2. carbamic acid esters of alcohols bearing quaternary or tertiary ammonium groups-->neostigmine and physostigmine 3. organic derivatives of phosphoric acid-->echothiophate |
