Question
Answer
properties of catechols   have neighboring -OH --> not orally absorbed (IV admin), do not cross BBB so no CNS effects  
🗑
properties on non-catechols   non-neighboring -OH --> oral absorption, cross BBB to exert CNS effects  
🗑
Alpha-1 receptor normal functions   vasoCon, mydriasis, bladder/prostrate sphincter contraction  
🗑
Alpha-1 therapeutic uses   to increase BP, hemostasis, releive nasal congestion, local anesthesia adjunct, mydriasis  
🗑
ADRs of Alpha-1 activation   HTN (too much of good thing), brady compensatory, necrosis extravasation  
🗑
Beta-1 normal functions   cardiac stimulation (force, frequency, AV conduction), kidney --> renin  
🗑
Beta-1 therapeutic uses   tx of cardiac arrest, HF, AV heart block, shock  
🗑
Beta-1 ADRs   tachy overshoot, dysrhythmias, angina pectoris (bwo increased heart activity exceeding what coronary artery can provide)  
🗑
Beta-2 normal functions   bronchoDIL, uterine relaxation, vasoDIL-essential, glycogenolysis, skeletal muscle contraction, HYPERkalemia  
🗑
Beta-2 therapeutic uses   asthma, delay tocolysis  
🗑
Beta-2 ADRs   hyperglycemia, tremor, HYPOkalemia (intracellular K shunting)  
🗑
Dopamine receptor blurb   PNS only in kidney vasculature -->increase RBF--> increase urine output  
🗑
All Adrenergic agonists are catechols EXCEPT   terbutaline, ephedrine  
🗑
how must chatechols be administered   must be IV admin, not absorbed orally, SHORT ACTING due to peripheral COMT, do NOT pass BBB, no CNS effect  
🗑
What catechol activates all 4 receptor types   epinephrine  
🗑
epinephrine indications   cardiac stimulation, anaphylactic shock(slanted towards Alpha-1, Beta-1)  
🗑
epinephrine ADRs   HTN overshoot, dysrhythmias, angina, necrosis extravasation, HYPERglycemia  
🗑
What endogenous substance and 2 drugs activate Alpha-1, Alpha-2 and Beta-1   Norepinephrine, levarterenol, levophed  
🗑
Norepinephrine activates these receptors with this indication   Alpha-1,2 and Beta-1. Indicated for cardiac. CANNOT tx asthma or tocolysis because no Beta-2  
🗑
What is the only drug that acts on Beta-1, Beta-2 nonselectively   isoproterenol  
🗑
What is isoproterenol indicated for   cardiac stimulation, bronchoDIL  
🗑
ADRs of Isoproterenol (B-1, B-2)   B-1: tachy, dysrhythmias, angina. B-2: hyperglycemia, hypokalemia  
🗑
what is therapeutically relevant about norepinephrine, levarterenol and levophed   this class can treat both cardiac and blood pressure bwo A-1, A-2 and B-1 stimulation  
🗑
In what order does dopamine 'step up' with increased dosage   dopa receptors, B-1 receptors, A-1 receptors, with respective ADRs at each receptor  
🗑
what drug activates Beta-1 selectively   dobutamine  
🗑
what is indication of dobutamine   to stimulate heart in CHF  
🗑
major ADRs of dobutamine   B-1 ADRs of tachy, dysrhythmias, angina  
🗑
what drug activates Beta-2 selectively   terbutaline, which is a NON-catechol, so it can be given oral and it DOES cross BBB  
🗑
terbutaline indicated for   asthma, tocolysis  
🗑
what NONcatechol activates all 4 receptors   ephedrine - like an oral epinephrine  
🗑
what little use does ephedrine have today   pre-tx IV contrast, nasal decongestant, asthma, allergy, postural orthostasis  
🗑
besides usual ADRs relevant to receptor type, what other ADR does ephedrine have   because it is a NONcatechol, it can cross BBB and stimulate CNS-->insomnia  
🗑
epinephrine   catecholamine activates all 4 receptors  
🗑
norepinephrine   catecholamine activates A-1,A-2, B-1  
🗑
levarterenol   catecholamine activates A-1, A-2, B-1  
🗑
levophed   catecholamine activates A-1, A-2, B-1  
🗑
dopamine   activates dopa first, B-1 second, A-1 third  
🗑
dobutamine   selective B-1  
🗑
terbutamine   selective B-2 NONCATECHOLAMINE  
🗑
ephedrine   activates all 4, NONCATECHOLAMINE  
🗑
