3.3 - Parasympathetic Drugs Flashcards
Parasymphathetic Drugs
- Biosynthesis
- Receptors
- Parasympathomimetics
- Parasympatholytics
Biosynthesis of ACh
- Locations
- Steps
- Fate of ACh in the cleft
- Drugs that interfere in the biosynthesis, storage, release and fate of ACh
Locations
– All pre ganglionic neurons
– Cholinergic, post-ganglionic neurons
– Somatic Nerves
– CNS
Steps
Choline ➡️1️⃣ Choline + AcCoA ➡️2️⃣ ACh ➡️ Vesicular storage throug VAT ➡️ Release
1️⃣
Active uptake
2️⃣
CHAT
– Choline Acetyltransferase
Fate of the ACh in the cleft
- Binding to post-synaptic ®
* Metabolism by AChE
Drugs that interfere in the biosynthesis, storage, release and fate of ACh
— Active uptake of Choline
— Vesicular Storage of ACh
— Release of ACh (exocytosis)
— Metabolism by AChE
Active uptake of ACh: INHIBITOR
Hemicholinium
Vesicular Storage of ACh: INHIBITOR
Vesamicol
Release of ACh (exocytosis): STIMULATOR
Alpha-latrotoxin
Release of ACh (exocytosis): INHIBITOR
Botulinum toxin
Metabolism by AChE: INHIBITORS
Organophosphates
Receptors
- Muscarinic Receptor
* Nicotinic Receptors
Muscarinic Receptor
- M1
- M2
- M3
M1
– Location: Gastric Glands
– Effect: ⬆️ HCl secretion

M3
– Location: Exocrine Glands
– Effect: ⬆️ secretion
M3
– Location: Smooth muscles — Gq linked — Contraction – Effect: - 👀 - Brochi - GIT - Urinary Bladder
👀
– Ciliary Muscle: ⬆️ Accomodation
– Circular Muscle: MIOSIS
Bronchi
BronchoCONSTRICTION
GIT
— Diarrhea
– Walls: CONTRACTION
– Sphincter: Relaxation
Urinary Bladder
— Urination/ Micturition
– Detrusor: Contraction

Nicotinic Receptors
- NN – Neural
* NM – Muscular
NN
• Ganglion; CNS: Stimulation
NM
– Neuromuscular End Plates: Contraction
