| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the subtypes of Nicotinic receptors and where they are found? | Nn and Nm Nn: located in cell bodies in ganglia of both PANS and SANS Nm: located on the skeletal muscle motor end plate (innervated by somatic motor nerves) |
| Where are Muscarinic (M1-3) receptors found? | M1 in brain M2 in heart (inhibitory effect) M3 everywhere else |
| Which organ is part of the sympathetic nervous system but still has muscarinic receptors? | SWEAT GLANDS and Pilorectal muscles (small sm in hair follicle responsible for goosebumps) |
| What is the rate limiting step in Ach synthesis? | the UPTAKE of CHOLINE (choline + acetyl-CoA = Ach) |
| Ach gets broken down by which enzyme in the presynaptic cleft and into what metabolism? | by Acetylcholine Esterase (reason ach has short half life) metabolism: Choline + Acetate |
| Which receptor on the presynaptic neuron causes negative feedback? | Alpha2 autoreceptor is a Gi coupled receptor |
| MOA of Botulinum toxin | CLEAVES SNARES --> no release of Ach Botulinum toxin enters the presynaptic neuron |
| Nicotinic receptors are what type of receptors? | ION CHANNELS (Na/K channels) |
| What are the Muscarinic agonists? (4) | 1. Bethanechol (bowels and bladder) 2. Metacholine (to diagnose bronchial hypersensitivity) 3. Pilocarpine 4. Cevimeline |
| What are the Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors? (7) | 1. Edrophonium (diagnose myasthenia gravis) 2. Physostigmine 3. Neostigmine + 4. Pyridostigmine 5.Donepezil 6. Rivastigmine 7. Organophosphates (irreversible inhibitors) |
| Which Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors used to treat Alzheimer disease? (2) | 1. Rivastigmine 2. Donepezil |
| What are the irreversible Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors? | Malathion, Parathion (insecticides Sarin (nerve gas) |
| What are the effects of excessive muscarinic and nicotinic stimulations? | DUMBBEELSS Diarrhea, Urination, Miosis, Bradycardia, Bronchoconstriction, Emesis, Excitation, Lacrimation, Salivation and Sweating |
| Which drug is used to REGENERATE Acetylcholinesterase and it binds what? | PRALIDOXIME (2-PAM) binds to alkyl group of organophosphate (irreversibe AchE inhibitors) within 4 hours, before aging/hydrolysis occurs. |
| Which AchE inhibtor is used to treat Myasthenia gravis? | 1. Neostigmine 2. Pyridostigmine they used for reversal of nondepolarizing Nm blockers |
| Which AchE inhibitor is an antidote in atropine overdose? | Physostigmine (also used for glaucoma) |
| What is a prototypic muscarinic receptoe antagonist? | ATROPINE |
| What other classes of drugs has antimuscarinic effects? (6) | 1. Antihistamines (1st gen) 2. TCAs (antidepressants) 3. Antipsychotics 4. Quinidine 5. Amantadine 6. Meperidine |
| Antidote for Muscarinic blockers? | PHYSOSTIGMINE |
| What are the other Muscarinic receptor blockers? | 1. Tropicamide (used for eye exams) 2. Oxybutynin (overactive bladder) 3. Ipratropium, Tiotropium (asthma + COPD) 4. Scopalamine (motion sickness- cause sedation + temp memory block) 5. Benztropine, Trihexyphenidyl (parkinsonism) |
| Where are Muscarinic receptors found? | Eyes Heart Lungs GIT Bladder Glands Sphincters |
| What happens when a ganglion blocking drug is administered? | prevent reflex changes in heart rate eliceted by vasoconstriction and vasodilation (B2) |
| What are the Nicotinic receptor antagonists/ blockers? (2) | 1. Hexamethonium 2. Mecamylamine (not used anymore dt many side effects) |
