| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Botox | Inhibits exocytosis of ACh. @NMJ: frown lines, migraine prophylaxis, cervical dystonia, strabismus, blepharospasm, spasticity. @parasympathetic NEJ: spasm of lower esophageal sphincters. @parasympathetic NEJ: hyperhydrosis |
| D-tubocurarine | Block ACh receptor at NMJ for skeletal muscle paralysis |
| Succinylcholine | Act as an agonist to create depolarization blockade --> SKM paralysis |
| Bethanechol | mAChE agonist |
| Pilocarpine | mACh receptors agonist |
| Atropine | mAChR antagonist |
| Scopolamine | mACh antagonist |
| Oxybutynin (Ditrophan) | mAChR antagonist |
| Tolterodine | mAChR antagonist |
| Ipratropium | mACh antagonist |
| Donepezil | Non-covalently bond with the ACh receptor and block its binding site |
| Physostigmines | Carbamyolate with the ACh receptor and block the activity of the enzyme |
| Echothiophate | Phosphorylate the active site and permanently inhibits its activity |
| Malathion | Phosphorylate the active site and permanently inhibits its activity |
| Pralidoxime | Nucleophilic attack the phosphorylated site of AChE and restores its function |
| alpha-methyltyrosine | Inhibits tyrosine hydroxylase |
| alpha-methyldopa | Prodrug: pretend it's dopa, converted to alpha-methylNE and replaces some of the NE in the synapse |
| Reserpine | Block VMAT-2, leading to depletion of NE stored in the synapse vescicles |
| Amphetamine | Taken into adrenergic nerves terminals by NET and into the synapse vesicles by VMAT-2, displacing NE. NE is then escape into junctional space |
| Ephedrine | Taken into adrenergic nerves by NET and into the synapse vesicles by VMAT-2 to replace NE |
| Norephedrine | Stimulate alpha 1,2 and beta 1 |
| Epi | stimulate alpha 1,2 and beta 1,2 |
| Phenylephedrine | alpha 1 receptor agonist |
| Clonidine | alpha 2 agonist, which is on the neural terminal. Binding onto this alpha 2 receptor will release more NE. |
| Phentolamine | alpha receptors blocker |
| Prazosin | Alpha 1 blocker |
| Tamsulosin | Alpha 1 blocker |
| Isoproterenol | Beta agonist |
| Dobutamine | Beta 1 agonist |
| Albuterol | Beta 2 agonist |
| Propanolol | Beta blocker |
| Metoprolol | Beta 1 blocker |
| Atenolol | Beta 1 blocker |
