BMS60046

Drugs acting at the NMDA receptor

QuestionAnswer
NMDA endogenous agonsits glutamate, aspartate, glycine (co-agonist)
NMDA endogenous antagonists Zn and Mg
Mg SE when increased, decreases excitabiilty; lowers HR, BP tendon reflex, muscle force, CNS
NMDA exogenous antagonists ketamine; memantine
ketamine analgesic; doesn't repress respiratory activity; non-competitive; has sympathomimetic anaesthesia, parasympathomimetic anaesthesia, and psychotomimetic anaesthesia; is a mix of isomers
what other receptors does ketamine work at? GABA agonist, blocks Na channel, Ca channel, M receptor, nicotinic receptor, sigma receptor; kappa agonist; NOS inhibitor; receptor inhibitor for NE, dopamine, 5HT
what are the sympathomimetic effects of ketamine? bronchodilation; increased RR, HR, BP, oxygen consumption; not good for CAD pts; good as asthmatic last resort
what are the parasympathomimetic effects of ketamine? bronchorrhea; sialorrhea
what would you use to alleviate the parasympathomimetic effects of ketamine? atropine (muscarinic antagonist) b/c it will dry everything up.
what are ketamine's psychotomimetic effects? vivid dreams; use a GABA agonist
esketamine pure S (+) ketamine (good guy)
memantine prevention of dementia/improvement of mental performance in elderly (memory); more rapid removal of Mg (unblocking of NMDA); doesn't affect inhibition of AChesterase
Methadone mu- and NMDA-antagonist (double analgesia); slow onset, variable t1/2; metabolite has long t1/2; accumulation/sedation; 4-12 Mo
where are opiod receptors located? mainly CNS (spinal and supraspinal)
mu-opiod receptors open K channels --> hyperpolarization; supraspinal
kappa opiod receptors inhibit Ca channels --> reduce transmitter release; spinal
delta opiod receptors modulate mu-receptor acitivity
what are the endogenous opiod peptides? enkephaline (delata); endorphine (mu); dynorphine (kappa)
what are the NMDA anti-epileptic drugs? Lamotrigine, Felbamate, Topiramate
Lamotrigine glutamate-release inhibitor; Na channel blocker
Felbamate Glycine (NMDA)- Antagonist; GABA-Agonist
topiramate AMPA-Antagonist; GABA-Agonist; dopamine release inhibitor; makes you lose weight (unlike other anti-seizure meds); SE: impaired memory, inhibits carbonic anhydrase, increases occular pressure (myopia and glaucoma)

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
