ANS 1 Flashcards
Rate limiting step in Ach synthesis
Re-uptake of Choline
Endogenous Choline Esters
ACh
Bethanechol
Carbechol
(ABChol)
Has strong muscarinic activity
Bethanechol
Used for atonic bladder
Bethanechol
Bladder = B
Used for Glaucoma to decrease intraocular pressure
Carbachol
An alkaloid used for Glaucoma but only has a muscarinic activity
Pilocarpine
(Extremely effective in opening the trabecular meshwork around
the Schlemm canal = Inc drainage)
Antidote for pilocarpine poisoning
Atropine
Reversible Cholinesterase inhibitor for diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis
Edrophonium
Test to differentiate Myasthenia Gravis vs Cholinergic Crisis?
Tensilon Test
Reversible Cholinesterase inhibitor for treatment of overdose with anticholinergic drugs which can cross the BBB
Physostigimine
Adverse effect of this Reversible Cholinesterase inhibitor is Cholinergic Crisis
Physostigimine
Reversible Cholinesterase inhibitor which does not cross the BBB
Neostigimine
Reversible Cholinesterase inhibitor for chronic management of Myasthenia Gravis
Pyridostigmine
Reversible Cholinesterase inhibitor treatment for Alzheimers Disease
Donezepil

Determination of cholinesterase activity will confirm diagnosis of?
Acute Intoxication
Most common cause of death of acute intoxication
Respiratory Failure
Specific treatment for acute intoxication which antagonizes muscarinic activity
Atropine
Reactivates inhibited AChE and antagonizes muscarinic and nicotinic actions at the NMJ of skeletal muscles BUT NOT CNS EFFECTS
Pralidoxine
