ANS - 9 Flashcards
What effect would an antagonist alone have on receptor activation?
no effect
Side effects of a1 receptor antagonists:
- orthostatic hypotension
- inhibition of ejaculation
- nasal stuffiness
- tachycardia
Non-selective a-adrenergic receptor antagonists: What is this base structure?
B-Haloalkylamines
non-selective a receptor antagonists examples
- Phenoxybenzamine
- Phentolamine
Selective a1 receptor antagonists examples
- Prazosin
- Terazosin
- Doxazosin
Non-selective a adrenergic receptor antagonists: Phenoxybenzamine (Dibenzyline)
* Also blocks ___, histamine, and ___ receptors
* ___ antagonist resulting from covalent modification of receptor
- ACh, serotonin
- irreversible
What is this?
Phenoxybenzamine (Dibenzyline)
B-Haloalkylamines: Mechanism of receptor inactivation -
* The ___ ion is highly reactive and forms a ___ bond
- Aziridinium
- covalent
Non-selective a-adrenergic receptor antagonists:
Imidazolines
* competitive (___) blocker
* potent vaso___, but induces pronounced reflex ___cardia
* block of presynaptic a2 receptors may promote release of ___
* Also blocks 5-HT receptors, and is a ___ and histamine receptor agonist.
- reversible
- vasodilator, tachycardia
- NE
- muscarinic
Example:
What is this?
Non-selective a receptor antagonist - Imidazoline
* Phentolamine (Regitine)
What does a reversible receptor blockade graph look like?
slide to the right
What does an irreversible receptor blockade graph look like?
decreasing
Phenoxybenzamine action:
* non-competitive (___) antagonist
* non selective (__ and ___ receptors)
* new receptors must be synthesized in order to restore receptor function leading to a long drug effect
- irreversible
- a1 and a2
Phentolamine action:
* ___ (reversible) antagonist
* ___ (a1 and a2 receptors)
*competitive
* non-selective
Phenoxybenzamine and Phentolamine: Clinical Use - ___ (tumor of adrenal medulla that results in excessive epinephrine and norepinephrine synthesis and release)
pheochromocytoma
Problems with Phenoxybenzamine and Phentolamine:
* Not useful in treatment of hypertension due to __ effects
* By blocking __ receptors, we get greater release of NE at the heart and increased HR
a2
a2 is responsible for prejunctional inhibition of NE release
a1 -adrenergic receptor antagonists: Quinazolines
* extensive metabolism, excreted mainly in the ___.
* Vaso___
* ___ of smooth muscle in enlargesd prostate and bladder base
* Vary in half life (Prazosin 3 hrs, Terazosin 12 hrs, and Doxazosin 20 hrs)
* “___-dose” effect
- bile
- vasodilation
- relaxation
- first dose effect
What is this?
a1 receptor antagonist
* Quinazoline
Examples
* Prazosin (Minipres)
* Terazosin (Hytrin)
* Doxazosin (Cardura)
It is an a1 receptor antagonist if it has a ___ ring and ends in ___
Quinazoline, “-osin”
Selective a1 antagonists: Prazosin - Action:
* Selective ___ a1 antagonists
* Decrease total ___ resistance
* vaso___
- competitive
- peripheral
- vasodilation
Prazosin clinical use
- Hypertension
- Reynaud’s disease
- Benign prostatic
- hyperplasia (BPH) a1a
Minor problem with Prazosin
fall in BP
a1a Antagonist: Tamsulosin (Flomax)
* very selective to prostate urethra as this is rich in ___ receptors
* less prone to induce fall in ___ as compared to classical a1 blockers such as ___
* Used for BPH (an a1a antagonist prevent the contraction the ____ muscle which contributes to the resistance to outflow of urine).
- a1a
- BP, Prazosin
- trigone
a2 - receptor antagonists
Example: Yohimbine (Yocon)
* ___ alkaloid
* Blockade of a2 receptors ___ sympathetic discharge
* Folklore suggests use in treatment of ____
- indole
- increases
- male impotence
What is this?
Yohimbine (Yocon)
indole alkaloid = a2 antagonist
Beta Blockers: Therapeutic Indications
- angina
- migraine
- glaucoma
- cardiac arrhythmia
- post-myocardial infarction
- hypertension
- congestive heart failure (I and II)
