adverse effect; dizziness, droziness, irregular heart beat , depression

42
Q

A

Amphetamine
cocaine
clonidine
yohimbine

43
Q

drugs that are indirect sympathomimetics

A

Amphetamine that increases the relase of NA
cocaine that inhibits the reuptake of NA

44
Q

drusg that are A2 agonist for release and reuptake of noradreanlaine

A

a2 receptor agonist, clonidine that decreases NA release
a2 antagonist yohimbine that increases NA release

45
Q

how does amphetamine work on noradrenaline release

A

since they represent the NA structureally, they are taken up by NET and VMAT in exchange for reduced NA uptake
NA left in the cytosol is metabolized by MAO or escpated via NET back into synaptic cleft
– this causes increase in NA in cleft
- amphetamine have some inhibitory effect on MAO and can also increase dopamine release in a similar manner
– thus nre amt of NA increase
tyramine from chocolate and ephereine have similar action as amphetamine

46
Q

amphetamine effect on NA

A

promote release of NA without depolarising nerve membranes
– bc everything in the pre snymaptinc leaks out

47
Q

cocaine effect on Noradrenaline

A

inhibit reuptake of Noradrenaline into presynaptic by inhbiting respective trasnporters
— thus build up of noradrenaline in synaptic cleft leading to increased sympathetic activity

48
Q

effect of sympathimimimetics

A

increased rate and force of contractility of heart(dose responsive tachycardia)
– construction of blood vessels leading to hypertension
– inhibition of gut motility(die to relaxation of GI tract)
–CNS stimulant
– euphoria(dopamine effect), increased energy and libido, reduced fatigue and appetite, and behavioral responses, such as increased self confidence and alertness

49
Q

dangers of tyramine

A

can be dangerous if given with MAo blocker, which is required for catabolsim of tyramine

50
Q

clinical use of tyramine

A

NA release

no clinica use but present in various foodi

51
Q

clincial use of amphetamine

A

NA release, MAO inhibitor, NET inhibitor, CNS stimulant

CNA stimuant in narcolepsy, also in hyperactive children, appetite suppressant , drug of abuse

52
Q

A

NA release, B agonist, weak CNA stimulant action
nasal decongestion

53
Q

a2 receptor agonist and antagonist regarding Noradrenaline

A

clonidine agonist
yohimbine(antagonist)

54
Q

effect of a2 receptor agonist at noradrenaline

A

clonidine
inhibit NA release
clinical use: antihypertension
adverse effect : headache, dizziness, drowsiness, constipation, brandycardia

55
Q

effect of “a” receptor antagonist regarding yohimbine

A

inhibit post snymaptinc a receptor as well,
so no used clinically

56
Q

indirect sympathomimetic drugs- MAO and COMT inhibitors

A

moclabemide, anti depresant

57
Q

how does moclobemide work

A

endogenous and exogenous catecholamine are metabolised mainly by two enzymes :

  • monoamine oxidase and catechol-o-methyl -transferase
    (CoMT metabolism substranets such as L dopa and are absent in the NA neurons)

inhibiting them will increase availability of neurotransmitters such as NA nd dopamine

58
Q

what is the difference between the catecholamine and NA released from the sympathetic nerves

A

duration of activity of the catechoaimines released from the adrenal medulla is longer – so longer activity
NA immeidaytl removed from the neuroeffectory synapse by way of reuptake into the postganglinos neurons however circualtin is inactivate by COMT in liver, as such would have longer period of effect
capable of stimulating tiessies that are not directly innervated by the nerve
NA has limited affinity for B2 receptors, thus circulating A is capable of stimulating these receptors in airway smooth muscles
vascular smooth muscles in skeletal muscles contain a1 and b receptor,
NA which stimular only excitatory a1 receptor causes strong vasoconstriction
however, a which stimulates both type of receptor would cause weaker vasoconstrictions

59
Q

receptors that are linked to blood pressure

A

a1 - vasoconstrictinos
b1- increased cardia output
b1 at juxtaglomerular cells - increase renin - renin causes angiotensinogen into at1-AEC– CONVERT AT1 TO AT2 - at2 increase aldostrong release at adrenal glands, - sodicum and water retention - increase in blood pressure
b2 - vasodilation

60
Q

ISO

A

isoprenaline

61
Q

noradrenaline effect

A

predominantly a agonist
expect vaso constrictions
peripheral resistance will increase
blood pressure increase
heart rate go down bc when blood pressure increase, baroreceptors can sense it and the refex is to lower heart rate

62
Q

isoprenaline effect

A

potent b agnoist
vaso constrictions
peripeherial reisitance decrease
blood pressure decrease

also act on b1 receptor
heaty rate become higher

63
Q

adrenaline effect

A

combines both action od noradrenaline and isoprenaline

activate all receptors – balance

64
Q

what is anaphylactic shock

A

severem life threatening allergic reaction, can occure within seconds of exposure to the allergen ,, bc immune system will release floods fo checmincal that make the person going into a shock , blood pressure plummet airway narros, breathing becoming difficult

65
Q

adrenaline mechanism of action during anaphylaxis

A

decreae the release of medators from mast cell, alleviate obstruction to airflow in the respirator tracts and improves cardiovascular response

  • a1 adrenegic agonist effect : increased vasoconstriction, increased peripheral vascular resistance and decreased mucosal edema
  • b1 adrenergic agonist effect : increased rate and force of contraction
    -b2 adrenergic agonist effect: increased bronchodilator and decreased release of mediatiors of inflammation from mast cell and basophils
66
