Hydralazine

65
Q

Dobutamine

A
  1. Selective B1 receptor agonist
  2. Commonly used in treatment of shock and cardiac arrest
  3. Duration: roughly 2 minutes
  4. Acts fairly specifically on the heart (due to limited tissue distribution of b1 receptors); inotropic effects are much more prominent than chronotropic effects (relative to epinephrine)
  5. Used in stress tests to reveal cardiac abnormalities
66
Q

Albuterol

A
  1. selective b2-adrenergic receptor agonist
  2. treatment of asthma
  3. Route: orally or by inhalation
  4. Duration: half-life of several hours (relatively poor substrate for MAO
  5. Side Effects: tachycardia, elevated blood glucose levels, and skeletal muscle tremor
  6. Contraindications: cardiac disease & diabetes
67
Q

Clonidine

A
  1. a2-adrenergic receptor agonist
  2. treatment of hypertension, eyedrop solutions to reduce eye irritation (constrict inflamed blood vessels) or treat glaucoma (reduce intraocular pressure)
  3. Route: oral
  4. Duration: several hours
  5. MOA: anti-hypertensive effects via activation of presynaptic a2 receptors in CNS, which suppresses sympathetic activation
  6. Side Effects: dry mouth and sedation
68
Q

Phenelzine

A
  1. Inhibits monoamine oxidase activity
  2. MOA: indirectly-acting sympathomimetic drugs
  3. Route: Oral
  4. Tx: depression, due to effects on CNS receptors
  5. Duration: half-life 24 hr
  6. Side Effects: potentially fatal hypertensive crisis if combined improperly with other sympathomimetics or with foods rich in amines (wine, cheese, beer, chocolate, etc.)
69
Q

Methylphenidate (Ritalin)

A
  1. bind to re-uptake transporters (NET) and vesicular transporters (VMAT) to cause reverse catecholamine transport (Indirect acting)
  2. Route: oral
  3. Duration: half-life of several hrs
  4. Tx: attention deficit disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy
  5. Side Effects: mild hypertension, tachycardia, insomnia and gastrointestinal problems
70
Q

Pseudoephedrine

A
  1. amphetamine-like drugs that bind to transporters and cause catecholamine release (indirectly-acting)
  2. Route: oral
  3. Duration: half-life of several hrs
  4. Tx: Nasal decongestant
  5. does not efficiently cross the blood brain barrier and has few effects on the CNS, which is its major difference from methylphenidate and amphetamine
71
Q

Propranolol (Inderal)

A
  1. non-selective b-adrenergic receptor antagonist
  2. Decreases cardiac output by reducing both heart rate, the strength of cardiac ventricular contraction,
  3. Route: oral
  4. Duration: half-life of several hours
  5. Tx: hypertension, heart disease, angina, cardiac arrhythmias and muscle tremor plus the inhibition of B1 receptors in the juxtaglomerular region of the kidney, which inhibits the release of renin
  6. Contraindications: asthma, since inhibition of b2 receptors in the lung may cause bronchoconstriction
72
Q

Metroprolol (Lopressor)

A
  1. selective b1-adrenergic receptor antagonists
  2. Route: oral
  3. Duration: half-life of several hours
  4. Tx: hypertension, heart disease, angina and certain cardiac arrhythmias
73
Q

Phentolamine

A
  1. non-selective a-adrenergic receptor antagonist
  2. Route: oral
  3. Duration: half-life of several hours
  4. Tx: pheochromocytoma, a tumor of the adrenal medulla that causes massive release of epinephrine and profound sympathetic over-activation (leading to severe hypertension, cardiac problems, etc.)
  5. induces severe hypotension
  6. reverses hypertensive crisis (patient on MAO inhibitors who consumes too much wine and cheese)
74
Q

Prazosin

A
  1. selective a1-adrenergic receptor antagonists
  2. Route: oral
  3. Duration: half-life of several hours
  4. Tx: hypertension and BPH (the prostate is rich in a1 receptors, which when over-activated in the long-term accelerate cell growth)
75
Q

Yohimbine

A
  1. selective a2-adrenergic receptor antagonist
  2. Route: oral
  3. Duration: half-life of several hours
  4. Tx: sexual dysfunction…mechanism of action is inhibition of a2 receptors in the CNS, so it’s the opposite of clonidine
  5. Side Effects: hypertension, sleep disturbances and various CNS effects…it can be dangerous to combine with sympathomimetics (esp. MAO inhibitors)
76
Q

Reserpine

A
  1. binds to the vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT) and blocks it, thereby blocking vesicular packaging and release of catecholamines (indirect acting)
  2. Route: oral
  3. Duration: long half-life (36 hours)
  4. Tx: Raynaud’s Syndrome (pathological, painful vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the distal limbs)
77
Q

THIOPENTAL

A

pH - 10.5
MOA: GABA
