8-19 Adrenergic Agonist / Antagonist Flashcards
ALPHA 1 RECEPTOR
Tissues - Actions (3)
(1) Most vascular smooth muscle- contracts (inc. vascular resistance)
(2) Pupillary Dilatormuscle- contracts (myDriasis)
(3) Internal Urethral Sphincter- contracts
ALPHA 2 RECEPTOR Tissues- Actions (3)
(1) Adrenergic and cholinergic nerve terminals- inhibits transmitter release (2) Platelets- stimulates aggregation (3) Some vascular smooth muscle- contracts
BETA 1 RECEPTOR
Actions (2)
(1) Heart- Stimulates rate and force
(2) Juxtaglomerular cells- Stimulates renin release
BETA 2 RECEPTOR
Tissues-Actions (4)
(1) Relaxes RUV - (Respiratory, Uterine and Vascular) smooth muscle
(2) Liver- stimulates glycogenolysis
(3) Pancreatic B cells- stimulates insulin release
(4) Somatic motor nerve terminals (voluntary muscle)- causes tremor
BETA 3 RECEPTOR Tissues-Actions
(B1 and B2 may also contribute) (1) Fat cells- stimulates lipolysis
DOPAMINE 1 RECEPTOR Tissues-Actions
(1) Renal and other splanchnic blood vessels- vasoDilates (reduces resistance)
DOPAMINE 2 RECEPTOR Tissues-Actions
(1) Nerve terminals- inhibits adenylyl cyclase
Timolol: Half-Life

Nadolol: Half-Life
20-24 hours
Nadolol: Mechanism of Action
General B-blocker
Nadolol: Indication (2)
Long term angina, hypertension
Atenolol: Mechanism of Action
B1-blocker
Atenolol: Indication (3)
Hypertension, angina, MI
Metoprolol: Mechanism of Action
B1-antagonist
Metoprolol: Indication (2)
Hypertension, long-term angina rx
Pindolol: A: Mechanism of Action B: Because of its MOA, it has less _______ effect on the heart.
A: B-antagonist with partial agonist activity at both B1 and B2 adrenergic R B: Since some B signal remains (partial agonist), partial agonist have less BRADYCARDIC effect, thus should be used when patients are less tolerant to bradycardic effects.
Pindolol: A: Indication B: Therapeutic benefit is good when (indication) is due to _________.
A: Hypertension B: Therapeutic benefit is good when HTN is due to HIGH SYMPATHETIC OUTPUT since blockade of endogenous agonist will predominate over partial agonist effect of drug.
Esmolol: Half-life
~9 minutes
Esmolol: Mechanism of Action
B1-blocker
Esmolol: A: Indication (3) B: Esmolol has a very ____ half life, so it is given ____(dosage form) in _______ crisis, _____ angina and _______
Esmolol: A: Indication: -HTN Crisis -Angina (unstable) -Supraventricular tachycardia B: Esmolol has a very SHORT half life (9 min), so it is given IV in hypertensive crisis, unstable angina, SVT
Phenoxy-benzamine: Mechanism of Action
General alpha-blocker
Phenoxy-benzamine: Indication
Pheochromo-cytoma
Phentolamine: Mechanism of Action
General alpha-blocker
Phentolamine: Indication
rx for pheochromocytoma before surgery
Prazosin: Mechanism of Action
[Alpha 1 BLOCKER]
What are the three cardioselective B1-blockers?
Metoprolol, Atenolol, Esmolol
What are the cardiovascular effects of the cardioselective B1-blockersβ¦. -HR/Contractility? -Renin Release? -Vasoregulation?
Reduced heart rate and contractility, reduced renin release, reduced vasoconstriction (due to the reduced angio II) [same as non-selective B blockers]
Cardioselective B1 BLOCKERS: Therapeutic use (3)
Hypertension, angina, arrhythmia
Cardioselective B1-blockers: Toxicity (4)
Depression, insomnia, hypotension, bradycardia
