2.1 Pharm receptors Flashcards
Neuronal excitability or ihibition depends on
the flux of ions through specific channls in neuronal membrans
excitation via membrane depolarisation
inc Na in or
dec K out
inhibition via membrane hyperpolarization
inc Cl in or
inc K out
2 major types of ion channels
voltage gated, NT gated
voltage gated channels are regulated by
membrane potentials
examples of voltage gated channels
na channels in axonal conduction, ca channels located presynaptically that play a critical role in the release of NT from synaptic vesicles
drugs that use voltage gated ion channels
anesthetics, anticonvulsants
neurotransmitter regulated gated ion channles regulated by
neurotransmitter interactions with specific receptros
NT gated channle examples
directly coupled ion channles, g protein couple ion channles
directly couple ion channles (NT gated)
Cl channel regulated by Gaba A rec –> NT include gaba, glutamate, glycine, Ach
drugs that use NT gated directly coupled ion channes
anesthetics, anticonvulsants, cholinergic drugs, setative-hypnotics
Gprotein ion channels (NT gated) use
cAMP, IP3, DAG, Ca as second messengers –> can open channles after binding and protein phosphorylation producing long term effects
Gprotein NT gated channels seein in
Ach, most amines (dopamine, NE, 5HT) and peptides (endorphins)
drugs that use NT gated Gprotein channesl
analgesics, antidepressants, antipsychotis, anxiolytics
CNS neurotransmiters
Amino acids, biogenic amines, others
CNS NT - AA
glutamate, gaba, glycine
CNS NT - Biogenic amines
NT, Dopamine, Serotonin
CNS NT - others
Ach, substance P, Enkephalin
Glutamic acid is
excitatory via influx of cations using direct copuling and gproting linked
Glutamic acid recptor example
NMDA receptor
target of NMDA receptor
Ketamine, Phencyclidine
Gaba is
inhibitory via inc Cl in flux and K efflux
