Autonomic pharmacology IV Flashcards
what are the three types of adrenergic agonists?
- direct acting
- mixed
- indirect acting
what are the two categories of direct acting adrenergic agonists?
- selective
2. non-selective
what are the selective direct acting adrenergic agonists?
- phenylephrine - a1
- clonidine - a2
- terbutaline - B2
- fenoldopam - D1
phenylephrine acts on what receptor?
a1
clonidine acts on what receptor?
a2
terbutaline acts on what receptor?
B2
fenoldopam acts on what receptor?
D1
what are the non-selective direct acting adrenergic agonists?
- isopreterenol
- dobutamine
- epinephrine
- norepinephrine
- dopamine

a1, a2, B1
dopamine acts on what receptors?
D1, D2, a1
are the effects of direct acting adrenergic agonists reduced by prior treatment with reserpine or guanethidine?
no (may be potentiated)
are the effects of mixed acting adrenergic agonists reduced by prior treatment with reserpine or guanethidine?
yes
what is the effect of phenylephrine on vascular smooth muscle? which receptor does it activate?
- increase BP, increase TPR
2. alpha adrenergic (a1)
what are the clinical indications for phenylephrine?
