Androgenic Agonists--Trachte Flashcards
Synthesis of catacholamines
tyrosine –> DOPA
tyrosine hydroxylase
DOPA –> dopamine
DOPA decarboxylase
dopamine –> NE
dopamine hydroxylase
NE –> Epi
Phenyl-N-methyltransferase
Function of nAChR
Na+ channel
Parglyline
MOA: MAO inhibitor
TU: potentiates sympathetic responses
Cocaine
MOA: axoplasmic reuptake inhibitor
TU: local anesthesia
Adverse: do not give β1 blockers when cocaine intoxication, can lead to unopposed HTN
Imipramine
MOA: axoplasmic reuptake inhibitor
TU: antidepressant
Tyramine
MOA: axoplasmic reuptake pump reversal
Adverse: can cause hypertensive crisis
Found in: wine, cheese, beer
Amphetamine
MOA: axoplasmic reuptake reversal
TU: narcolepsy, obesity , ADD
Ephedrine
MOA: releases stores catecholamines
Reserpine
MOA: blocks vesicular accumulation, depletes NE
Guanethidine
MOA: releases NE from vesicles, depletes NE
Dobutamine
MOA: β1 agonist
TU: CHF or MI w/ acute heart failure
Dopamine
MOA: β1 agonist at low doses
α1 agonist at high doses
TU: shock, heart failure, unstable bradycardia, ionotropic and chronotropic α effects, maintains renal perfusion
Phenylephrine
MOA: α1 agonist
TU: eye exams (mydriatic), hyptension, rhinitis
Metaproterenol
MOA: β2 agonist
TU: asthma
Adverse: tremor, palpitations, tachycardia
