113
Q

Effects on HR and BP (and why) - Norepinephrine

A

NE - works at alpha and beta1

  • increase in BP (alpha
  • DECREASE in HR because baroreceptor reflex from the the increase in BP…
114
Q

Effects on HR and BP (and why) -

Epinephrine

A

Epi - works at all adrenergic receptors

  • increase HR
  • no change in BP (because alpha 1 and beta 2 cause vasoconstriction and vasodilation, respectively which leads to them canceling out)
115
Q

Effects on HR and BP (and why) -

Isoproterenol

A

works at Beta receptors (non-selectively)
Beta 2 - vasodilation = decrease in BP (will trigger baroreceptors to increase HR)
Beta 1 - increase HR

116
Q

Effects on HR and BP (and why) -

Phenylephrine

A

works at alpha 1 receptor

will increase BP (will cause baroreceptors to work and decrease HR as compensation)

117
Q

Edrophonium is apart of what drug class

A

quaternary ammonium alcohol = AchE inhibitor

118

126
Q

Diazinon is apart of what drug class

A

organophosphate - AchE inhibitor

127
Q

Important part of Malathion and Diazinon

A

PRODRUGS - they are insecticides that get metabolized by CYP450 by insects to become an active insecticide

128
Q

Why does malthion and diazinon not harm humans?

A

mammals (and birds) metabolize the drugs with a carboxyesterase which makes the drug inactive

129
Q

Are organophosphates reversible or irreversible? and why?

A

irrevesible! it has “aging” where bond gets stronger the longer it is there/once it gets hydrolyzed

130
Q

How do you treat an overdose of an organophosphate drug (nerve gas drug)

A

use 2-PAM (pralidoxime) - works best if given within the first few hours of exposure

131
Q

Contraindications for parasympathomimetic drug

A

Asthma
COPD
peptic ulcers
obstructions in urinary or GI tract

A

Asthma, COPD, Peptic Ulcers, Obstructions in GI/Urinary tracts

(bc lungs constrict, more acid secreted, causes you to go…)

203

SLUD (Salivation, lacrimation, urination, defecation)

and decreased HR, pupils constricted; CNS effects; increased sweating

atropine (a cholinergic receptor antagonist)

205
Q

Which beta blocker drugs have a characteristic to prevent tachycardia reflex (and what is the characteristic)

A

Carvedilol; Labetolol
these drugs have beta antagonist and alpha 1 antagonist properties -
alpha antagonist - causes vasodilation - but the body doesn’t compensate because the beta receptors are blocked

Mechanism that makes phenoxybenzamine irreversible

A

the drug forms and aziridinium ion (which is very electrophilic) and it makes a covalent bond with the receptor
