1
Q

Where do adrenergic drugs take effect?

A

SNS

  • a and B receptors (NE) - cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, glands, nerve terminals
  • D1 receptors (dopamine) - renal vascular smooth muscle

Q

Are sweat glands under sympathetic or parasympathetic control?

A

Sympathetic

  • but controlled by MAChR/ACh, and therefore affected by cholenergic drugs
  • cholinomimetics and AChE inhibitors can induce sweating, anticholinergics can inhibit sweating

Q

Effects of epinephrine

A
  • Increased HR and contractility (B1)

25
Q

Effects of norepinephrine

A
  • Potent vasoconstriction, increased BP (a1)
  • Decreased HR (reflex bradycardia)
  • Increased contractility (B1)

*no B2 effects

26
Q

Effects of nonselective B agonists (B1=B2)

*Isoproterenol

A
  • Increased HR and contractility (B1)
  • Vasodilation, decreased BP (B2)
  • Bronchodilation (B2)
27
Q

In a patient in hypotensive emergency, what can be used to increase blood pressure?

A

a1 agonist effects: Norepinephrine, phenylephrine

28
Q

In a patient with chronic hypotension, what can be used to increase blood pressure?

A

Ephedrine

*indirect adrenomimetic, increases NE and dopamine release and is direct receptor agonist

29
Q

What can be given to a patient in cardiogenic shock?

A

Dobutamine

  • B1 agonist
  • can also be used short term in acute HF
30
Q

What adrenomimetic can be given to treat HTN?

31
Q

Emergency therapy for complete AV block and cardiac arrest

A

Epi, isoproterenol

32
Q

A

Phenelzine, Selegiline

*MAO inhibitors

33
Q

A

Amphetamines, methylphenidate

*Methylphenidate also used for ADHD

34
Q

Adrenomimetics used for appetite suppression in obesity

A

Ephedrine, amphetamines

35
Q

A

Phenylephrine, ephedrine

37
Q

39
Q

Amphetamines, methylphenidate, tyramine MOA

Increased NE and DA release, inhibited reuptake

40
Q

Ephedrine MOA

A

41
Q

Metyrosine MOA

A

indirect acting adrenergic antagonist

*inhibits tyrosine hydroxylase

42
Q

Guanethidine MOA

A

indirect acting adrenergic antagonist

*depletes and prevents storageof NE

43
Q

Phentolamine, Phenoxybenzamine MOA and difference

A

Non-selective a1/a2 receptor antagonists

  • Phentolamine non-covalent bonding and therefore shorter acting (reversible)
  • Phenoxybenzamine covalent bonding and therefore longer acting (irreversible)
  • treatment for catecholamine excess in pheochromocytoma
  • phentolamine can also be injected into the penis to treat ED
44
Q
  • osin drugs MOA

* Prazosin, Tamulosin, Doxazosin

A

Selective a1 receptor inhibitors

45
Q

Alpha antagonists used for essential HTN treatment

A

Prazosin, Doxazosin

*non-selective alpha blockers are NOT used for HTN (phentolamine, etc.)

46
Q

Alpha antagonist used for chronic urinary obstruction in BPH

A

Tamulosin

*greater selectivity for a1a receptors (vs a1b), which contributes most to prostate smooth muscle contraction

47
Q

Labetalol, Carvedilol MOA

A

Mixed B and a1 antagonists

48
Q

Propanolol, Pindolol, Nadolol MOA

A

Non-selective B1 and B2 antagonists

49
Q

  • Acebutolol
  • Labetalol
  • Pindolol

*lower risk of bradycardia

52
Q

B blockers that are inverse agonists

A
  • Betaxolol
  • Metropolol

*lower risk of bradycardia

53
Q
