Drug
MOA & ADRs
Adrenergic receptor: Alpha-1   stimulate PLC, yielding high DAG, IP3; this results in activated protein kinase C and high Ca, causes vasoconstriction, increased peripheral resistence, increased BP, mydriasis & increased internal bladder sphincter tone  
🗑
Adrenergic receptor: Alpha-2   inhibits adenylate cyclase, yielding low cAMP, cause decreased NE release, also decreases insulin release  
🗑
Adrenergic receptor: Beta-1   stimulate adenylate cyclase, yielding high cAMP , causes tachycardia, increased cardiac contractility and increased lipolysis  
🗑
Adrenergic receptor: Beta-2   causes vasodilation, a small decrease in total peripheral resistance, bronchodilation, increased gluconeogenesis, increases glycogen release and relaxes the uterus  
🗑
Dopamine receptor: D1   causes renal & mesenteric vasodilatation  
🗑
Dopamine receptor: D2   causes decreased NE release  
🗑
Phentolamine   MOA: non-selective alpha-blocker used in HPTN crisis & dx of pheochromocytoma; ADRs: orthohypoTN, reflex tachy, vertigo & decreased ejaculation  
🗑
Prazosin   MOA: alpha-1 blocker used for HPTN, used for benign prostatic hypertrophy to decrease tone of urethral smooth muscle; ADRs: orthohypoTN, reflex tachy, vertigo & decreased ejaculation, 1st dose syncope  
🗑
Terazosin   MOA: alpha-1 blocker used for HPTN, used for benign prostatic hypertrophy to decrease tone of urethral smooth muscle; ADRs: orthohypoTN, reflex tachy, vertigo & decreased ejaculation, 1st dose syncope  
🗑
Clonidine   MOA: alpha-2 agonist not used for HPTN in gen pop, but for HPTN suffering from opiate or BZD w/drawl, decrease sympathetic outflow  
🗑
Beta-blockers   MOA: 1 has direct effects on the heart where as - of 2 results in bronchoconstriction, dont cause postural hypoTN b/c alpha-1 in control of periphery, used in migraine prophylaxis and glaucoma (block ciliary body secretion), beta-2 dont use in asthmatics  
🗑
Terbutaline   MOA: beta-2 agonist esp good for asthma, - bronchoconstriction, used to decrease premature uterine contractions in preganacy  
🗑
Albuterol   MOA: beta-2 agonist esp good for asthma, - bronchoconstriction, used to decrease premature uterine contractions in pregnancy  
🗑
Dopamine   MOA: + D1 receptors for shock b/c it acts like pressor 2 raise bld mmHg, keeps renal & mesenteric vessel open, beta-1 action increases CO, DOC 4 certain type of shock b/c increases inotropy & chronotropy, increase BP & maintain renal & splanchnic bld Q  
🗑
Reserpine   MOA: prevents NE & dopamine from getting packaged into vesicles, then degraded by MAO & thus no extra-cellular effect, used for HPTN  
🗑
Guanethidine   MOA: similar to reserpine, but also blocks NE release of any NE already in vesicular stores, used for HPTN; ADRs: decreased male sexual fx & orthostatic hypoTN  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
