Q

what is ecthiophate

A

irreversible inhibitor of Ach-estrase

attach via its phoaphate group

once loss of alkyl group occurs(aging) pralidoxime ll not be able to reverse it .

Q

what are the disadvantages of pralidoxime

A
  1. works before aging of enz takes place
  2. at higher doses has AchE inhibiting property
  3. cannot reverse reversible AchE inh action.

Q

Why people on MOA inhibitors should avoid cheese and wine

A

To prevent hypertensive crises /cheese effect.

Due to inhibition of mao-a in gut lot of tyramine will enter into circulation.

Tyramine being a releaser will lead to release of massive amounts of NE leading to hypertensive crises.

16
Q

What are different types of M receptors

A

M1:secretion from git glands especially H + leading to gastric ulcer

M2: heart (AVN and SAN)

M3: all smooth muscles of body

17
Q

Nicotinic receptors

A

Nn:found at adrenal medulla and autonomic ganglia

Nm:found on the skeletal muscles

18
Q

Ventricular muscles of heart are under the control of which part of ANS

A

Sympathetic leading to inotropic response

PANS only innervate SA and AVN tissue
SANS innervates both nodal and musculature

19
Q

All glands of the body have M3 receptors except

A

GIT which have M1 receptora

20
Q

Effect of Ach on vessels

A

Act on M3 receptirs in endothelium of blood vessels -production of NO- diffusion into smooth muscle cells- vasodilation

21
Q

Why indirect muscurinic receptor agonists have no effect on blood vessels

A

Because M3 receptors are not innervated so there is not any nerve terminal on which the drug can act

22
Q

Second messenger of M and N receptors

A

M1/3:Gq-inc phospholipase C -inc IP3,DAG ,Ca

M2:Gi

Nn Nm: no second
