Neuromuscular PCOL 2
Neuromuscular PCOL E2 Drug List
| Drugs | MOA | SOA | Side Effects | Extra Information |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acetylcholine | Nicotinic & Muscarinic Depolarizing Agent (Agonist) | All over body | DUMBBELSS | Diarrhea, Urination, Miosis, Bradycardia, Bronchial constriction, Emesis, Lacrimation, Salivation, Stimulation (CNS) |
| Varenicline | α4/β2 Nn partial agonist | CNS (Nn) | Headache, insomnia, suicidal thoughts, depression, flatulence | FDA warning of mood and behavioral changes; used for smoking cessation |
| Succinylcholine | Depolarizing Agent (Neuromuscular blockade - nicotinic) (Agonist) | NMJ (Nm) Can affect autonomic PNS/SNS ganglia | NMJ Paralysis Hyperkalemia, HTN & arrhythmias, muscle pain (myalgia), hyperthermia | Phase 1: binds to Ach binding space and keeps all Na+ channels open (cannot repolarize) Phase 2: blocks Na+ channels (cannot depolarize) |
| Physostigmine | Cholinesterase Inhibitor (AChE Antagonist) | CNS & periphery | DUMBBELSS | Penetrates CNS / cross BBB Treatment for anti-muscarinic poisoning (Atropine) |
| Donepezil Rivastigmine Galantamine | Cholinesterase Inhibitor (AChE Antagonist) | CNS & periphery | DUMBBELSS | Lipophilic (Cross BBB) Used for Dementia / Alzheimer's Longer T1/2 than Physostigmine |
| Pyridostigmine Neostigmine | Cholinesterase Inhibitor (AChE Antagonist) | NMJ | DUMBBELSS No CNS Effects | DO NOT cross BBB Reverse the effects of Curare/ treatment of myasthenia gravis |
| Edrophonium | Cholinesterase Inhibitor (AChE Antagonist) | NMJ | DUMBBELSS No CNS Effects | Used for diagnosis of myasthenia gravis or medication dose adjustments Short duration of action |
| Echothiophate | Organophosphate Inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase enzyme | M3 receptor in ciliary muscle (eye) | Miosis and blurred vision, lacrimation, stinging / redness of eye | Ophthalmology treatment glaucoma |
| Botulinum Toxin (Botox) | Prevent ACh release | Presynaptic terminal | Muscle Relaxation | Cleaves sites on SNARE protein |
| Curare & Curare Like Mivacurium Vecuronium Rocuronium Pancuronium Tubocurarine | NON-depolarizing agent Direct competitive antagonist binds to ACh binding space | NMJ | NMJ Paralysis Histamine release, hypotension and tachycardia No CNS effects | Doesn't allow ACh to bind; Ach is required for muscle contration |
