Adrenergic drugs Flashcards
Alpha 2 actions (3)
Decrease sympathetic outflow
Decrease NE release
Decrease Insulin
Beta 1 actions (3)
Heart (increase HR, Contractility, Conduction velocity)
Increase Renin (increase BP with Renin-Angiotensin system)
Increase Lipolysis
Beta 2 actions (5)
Bronchodilation Skeletal muscle vessel dilation Increase Glycogenolysis/ Gluconeogenesis Increase Insulin Relax Uterus
Precursor of Dopamine, NE, Epinephrine
Tyrosine
TH> L-AADC> DBH> PNMT
Difference in NE and Epi receptor interaction
Epi interact with all
NE interact with all except B2
Most important in terminating action of neuronally released NE
Active reuptake of NE into nerve terminal
Most important in terminating circulating Catecholamine action
Peripheral metabolism
Major metabolic enzyme for catecholamines
MAO and COMT
Major metabolites of catecholamine metabolism (3)
VMA, Metanephrine, Normetanephrine
Metyrosine: action
Reduce NE and Epi in Pheochromocytoma (adrenal gland tumor)
Metyrosine: MoA
Inhibit Tyrosine hydroxylase
Tyramine: action and ADR
Induce release of NE/ Epi
Dietary constituent
Enhanced by MAOI= Hypertensive crisis
Amphetamine: action and ADR
Release of NE and Epi
CNS stimulation
CNS effects
Amphetamine: use
ADHD
Narcolepsy
Cocaine
Inhibit NE reuptake into nerve terminal
Increase NE effects
