Block2 drugs and odd stuff Flashcards
What two neurotransmitters are not contained in traditional clear vesicles?
NE and 5HT
What does ACh impact with sleep-wake cycles?
Pontine
ACh with memory has what drug that inhibits acetylcholinesterase inhibitor?
Donepezil
Parkinson is delayed by an antagonist at M1 receptor (muscarinic drug), what is the name of the drug?
Benztropine
Pilocarpine over activates muscarinic receptors and is responsible for inducing what?
Seizures
What drug is used to test for Myasthenia Gravis? What drug is used to treat long term and does not cross the BBB?
Neostigmine
Pyridostigmine
Presynaptic muscarinic receptors lower what ion to lower neurotransmitter release?
Calcium
What does curare lower in a cell depolarization graph?
V(m)
Tubocuraine and Pancuronium are both used in surgery as long-lasting what?
Muscle Relaxants
Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic syndrome and Myasthenia Gravis have auto-antibodies attach where?
LEMS attach at the calcium gated channel
MG attaches at the AChRs on the post-synaptic part
What is the final enzyme that breaks down glutamine in the recycling pathway?
Glutaminase
Glutamate is released, transformed into glutamine and then into glutamate
What types of Glutamate Receptors are there?
Fast: NMDA, AMPA, Kainate
Slow: G-protein coupled
What is the only approved FDA drug for ALS?
Riluzole
Riluzole blocks what channels and does allow a calcium influx?
sodium
Glutamate to Gaba is done by what enzyme?
What channel does it open?
Glutamic acid decarboxylase
Chloride
When GABA is transferred back into the cells, what enzymes help turn it back into Glutamate?
GABA transaminase
Valproic acid and Vigabatrin inhibit what enzyme for treatment of epilepsy?
What vitamin is needed?
GABA t inhibitors
B6
What is zolpidem and s-zopiclone work against GABA to treat what disease?
Insomina
What two diseases does GABA have increasing importance with?
Huntington’s Chorea and Epilepsy
Barbiurates, Benzodiaepines, alcohols, and anesthetics are used to enhance what neurotransmitter?
GABA(a) increase chloride and inhibiting the cell
What are valium, midazolam, lorazepam, zolpidem used to enhance?
GABA-gated chloride
What drug acts on (agonist) GABA(B) receptors, reduces muscle spasms?
What drug antagonizes GABA(a)?
Baclofen
Bicuculline
What enzyme is used to go from L-Tyrosine to L-DOPA?
Tyrosine Hydroxylase
What disease is Mutations in glycine receptor. Receptors do not pass enough Cl- producing insufficient inhibition in spinal cord and generalized stiffness and excessive startle reflexes, hypnotic states in children and adults.(Jumping Frenchmen of Maine, Stiff baby syndrome, perhaps Latah in southeast Asia)
Hyperekplexia
Mutations in membrane transporters, too much glycine leads to neonatal lethargy and mental retardation, seizures exacerbated by NMDA overactivation (glycine site is full)
What disease is this?
Neonatal Hyperglycinemia
a poison used to kill rodents, causes muscular convulsions and eventually death through asphyxia or sheer exhaustion by blocking glycine receptors in spinal cord, what disease is this?
Strychnine
cleave vesicular proteins to prevent release of Renshaw cell glycine (and GABA) in spinal cord, thereby causing muscle rigidity. What disease is this?
Tetanus Toxins
What does monoamine oxidase breakdown?
Dopamine
