Adrenergics Flashcards
alpha agonists: 2
Phenylephrine (Neo-synephrine), Clonidine (Catapres)
Mixed alpha and Beta agonists: 2
Norepinephrine (Levophed), Epinephrine (Adrenalin)
Beta agonists: 4
Dobutamine (Dobutrex), Isoproterenol (Isuprel), Terbutaline (Brethine), Albuterol (Ventolin)
Dopamine agonists: 2
Dopamine (Intropin), Fenoldopam (Corlopam)
Direct acting adrenomimetics: 4
Alpha agonists, mixed alpha/beta agonists, beta agonists, dopamine agonists
Indirect adrenomimetics: 4
Inhibitors of re-uptake of DA/NE, inhibitors of MAO, reverse NE/DA uptake mechanisms that increase their release, Releasing agent AND a direct adrenergic receptor agonist
Drug that inhibits re-uptake of DA and NE
-family
cocaine, indirect adrenomimetic
Two inhibitors of MAO
-what family
Selegiline (Eldepryl), and Phenelzine (Nardil)
they are indirect adrenomimetics
Three drugs that reverse NE and DA uptake mechanisms and increase their release
-what family
Amphetamines, Methylphenidate (Ritalin), Tyramine (not actually a drug but byproduct of tyrosine metabolism)
-they are indirect adrenomimetics
Drug that is a releasing agent AND a direct adrenergic receptor agonist
-what family
- Ephedrine
- indirect adrenomimetic
Direct acting antiadrenergic drugs
-3 broad classes
a-adrenoceptor antagonists, Mixed blockers, B-adrenoceptor blockers
- Two non selective (a1 and a2) receptor antagonists
- names of drugs
Phentolamine (OraVerse), Phenoxybenzamine (Dibenzyline)
a1 receptor selective drugs (6)
Prazosin (Minipress), Terazosin (Hytrin), Tamsulosin (flomax), Doxazosin (cardura), Alfuzosin (Uroxatral), Silodosin (Rapaflo)
Mixed blockers: two drugs that are Beta and a1 antagonists
Labetalol (Trandate) and Carvedilo (Coreg)
B-adrenoceptor blockers
-classes
B1 and B2 blockers, B1 selective
