ANS Flashcards
M1,M2,M3: G-protein activation
M1 and M3: Gq - Phospholipase C
M2: Gi
Sympathetic vs. parasympathetic
Sympathetic: t1-L2, short preganglionic (ACh nicotinic), long post (Epi)
Parasympathetic C1-C8 + L3-S5, long preganglionic (ACh) short post (muscarinic ACh)
M2 receptor locations
M2 is the heart of med school) M2 - Gi (decrease cAMP) - SA node - AV node - cardiac myocytes
M1/M3: location and activation
Phospholipase C
- vascular sm. muscle
- sm. muscle of GI (walls, sphincters)
- GI secretions
- urogenital: bladder walls, sphincters, uterus, seminal vesicles
- eye: iris, ciliary muscle, lacrimal glands
- M1 are CNS
Direct muscarine agonists
Non-selectively activates M1,2 and 3. Cevimaline is more selective for M3 (civilized people drive M3s)
Choline esters:
- methacholine: asthma diagnosis
- carbachol: glaucoma(constricts pupils) meiosis induction
- bethanachol: urinary retention/GI dysmotility
Alkaloids:
- pilocarpine (muscarine analog) xerostomia
- cevimaline - glaucoma, miosis induction
Cholinergic effects:9 DUMBBELLS
Blurred vision N/V/D Sweating Hypersalivation Flushing Bradycardia Reflex tachycardia Bronchoconstriction
Natural alkaloid amines:
in NAAM the AK shot (antagonize) AT you with a SCOPE)
Direct muscarinic antagonists: nicotinic ACh poisoning, N/V (motion sickness)
Atropine, scopolamine
Tertiary amines : high CNS penetrance
Quaternary amines: lower CNS penetrance than tertiary
Atropine
No selective muscarinic antagonist
- antidote for muscarinic ACh toxicity
- bronchi, salivary and sweat glands most effective
- ACLS algorithm
Scopolamine
Nonselective muscarinic antagonist
- Substantial CNS effects
- prevention of motion sickness N/V
Benzotropine and triphenidyl
- M1 selective
- decrease tremor in early Parkinson’s (park your benz, with the triprop logo, benzs are thrilling cars)
- treat extra pyramidal symptoms
hyoscyamine and dicyclomine
- Nonselective muscarinic antagonist (hyoscyamine)
- M1/3 selective (dicyclomine)
- decreases GI motility in IBS
(hyo rode a cycle back from the bathroom)
Tertiary and quaternary amines: indications for urinary incontinence
Urinary incontinence - high M3 selectivity tertiary amines: ~ Darifenacin ~ solifenacin - low M3 selectivity tertiary amines: ~ oxybutynin ~ tolterodine ~ fesoterodine - quaternary amines ~ Trospium (Don't Soil (high) Old Trousers For (low) the 4th Time (quaternary))
Quaternary amines for COPD/asthma
- Nonselective muscarine antagonists
- first line for COPD
- not first line for emergency management of airways
Ipratroprium (brats are short and high energy: short acting, muscarinic agonist) and tiotropium (long acting)
Direct nicotinic agonist
Acetylcholine/nicotine: agonists (Varen Succed DAN: direct nicotinic agonists)
- varenicline (partial nicotinic agonist)
- succinylcholine (paradoxical action: brief fasiculation followed by flaccid paralysis)
Direct nicotinic agonist toxicity: cause
nicotine and varenicline Nicotine: - acute ~ N/V/D ~ Cardiac (HTN, arrythmias) ~ CNS: seizures, depolarizing blockade - chronic CV and GI risk Varenicline - nausea - CNS: insomnia, abnormal dreams psych
Direct nicotinic agonist toxicity: succinylcholine
- paralysis (prolonged)
- malignant hyperthermia
- myopathy
- hyperkalemia (continue depolarization causes continuous efflux of K)
(Hypnotize My Mind Please)
AChE inhibitors: general
Indirect cholinergic agonist (inhibits degradation in the synapse)
- treatment for myasthenia gravis (edro, neo and phyo caused ester agony)
- edrophonium (short acting: non-covalent bond)
- neostygmine
- phyostigmine
~ stigmines: nonlabile covalent bond long lasting (Stygmines styck around)
Organophosphate poisoning: MOA and trt
- Covalent bonding
- muscarinc and nicotinic toxicity
- trt: atropine and pralidoxamine (ACH antagonism and AChE regeneration)
(spray at toxic at bugs: atropine + pralidoxamine)
Central AChE inhibitors (DRG): examples (3), indications, toxicities
- indicated in dementia esp. Alzheimer’s
- relatively selective for CNS AChE (DRG)
- toxicity: GI, dizziness, bradycardia, hepatotoxicity
- e.g.
~ Donepezil
~ galantamine
~ rivastimine
Adrenergic receptor: general
G-protein linked
- a1: Gq (Phospholipase C)
- a2: Gi (decrease cAMP)
- B1/2: Gs (increase cAMP)
Dopamine pathway
Tyrosine -THB-> L-dopa -pyridoxal phosphate-> dopamine -vitamin C-> norepi -s-adenysylmethionine-> epi
Catecholamine affinity
NE: high for a1/2 and lower for B1 Epi: dose dependent - low dose B predominates - high dose a predominates DA: also dose dependent - low dose: dopamine - moderate dose: high affinity to B1, lower for a1 and dopamine - high dose: a1 over B1
