All CV Drugs Flashcards
Inhibits the synthesis of ACh by inhibiting transport of choline into neurons
Hemicholinium
Inhibits the synthesis of ACh by inhibiting the packaging of ACh into storage vessicles
Vesamicol
Inhibits ACh function by inhibiting the release of ACh from neurons
Botox
How is ACh terminated? What enzyme?
ACh esterase
Inhibits formation of NE by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase
Metyrosine
Inhibits formation of NE by preventing the transport of dopamine into storage vesicles
Reserpine
How is NE terminated?
Diffusion & Reuptake (unlike ACh which is metabolized by ACh esterase)
What drugs inhibit the reuptake of NE?
Cocaine & antidepressants
Once outside the synaptic cleft, however, NE is metabolized by?
MAO & COMT
24 hour levels of what give you a picture of the total body catecholamines?
VMA
This drug blocks NE synthesis by inhibiting tyrosine hydroxylase
Metyrosine
This drug blocks NE storage
Reserpine
This drug blocks NE release
Guanethidine
M1 muscarinic receptors are excitatory or inhibitory?
Excitatory!
M2 muscarinic receptors are excitatory or inhibitory?
Inhibitory :(
M1 muscarinic receptors are Gq coupled or Gi coupled?
Gq coupled… leads to increased IP3, increased phospholipase C, DAG cascade –> increase in intracellular Ca2+
M2 muscarinic receptors are Gq coupled or Gi coupled?
Gi… decrease cAMP and decrease HR
Alpha 1 receptor excitatory or inhibitory?
Excitatory; increases IP3 and DAG.. on post-synaptic neuron
Alpha 2 receptor excitatory or inhibitory?
Inhibitory; decreases cAMP… on pre-synaptic neuron as a negative feedback mechanism
What drugs treat pheochromocytoma?
NE blocking drugs: Metyrosine, Reserpine, Guanethidine
