CCB ppt Flashcards
what is the role of intracellular Ca++
regulates contraction
how can you tell a myocyte cell from the rest?
it has troponin c
how does Ca++ work in cardiac muscle
Ca++ binds to troponinC releives troponin I inhibition of actin-myocin interaction
how does Ca++ work in smooth muscle
binds to calmodulin causing actin and myosin interaction
where is most Ca++ at intracellular or extracellular?
extracellular
where is most of the Ca++ at intracellularly
the SR
Ca++ bound to SR is what
inactive
Free Ca++ inctracellular concentration is markedly increased when?
during contraction b/c SR releases Ca++ and the Ca++ channel is open allowing Ca++ in
what are the 6 types of Ca++ channels
L N P Q R T
What are the Ca++ channels we deal with ?
L
and
T
what type of channels are Ca++ channels
voltage gate
what is a voltage gated channel
when they reach a voltage then the open
a ligand gated is a drug or hormone binding
what is the L-type channel
sustained conductance, slow inactivation
What is T-type channels
similar to L but rapid inactivation’have minimal sensitivity to CCB
with CCB what type of channel are me using the most
L-type
5 subunits of L-type (slow) Ca++ channels
alpha 1 alpha 2 beta gamma delta
3 main types of CCB then what are the real way to differentiate them into 2 goups?
Non-dihydropyridines
-Phenylalkylamines-
-Benzothiazepines-
1,4- dihydropyridines (DHPs)
so basically all CCB are DHP except for what 2 drugs?
verapamil
and
diltiazem
