Cholinergic Agonists Flashcards
m1 receptor tissue
postganglionic
m1 receptor response
depolarization
m2 receptor tissue
heart
m2 receptor response
inhibition
m3 receptor tissue
smooth muscles, exocrine glands, endothelium
m3 receptor response
contraction, secretion, relaxation
which receptor does acetylcholine have the highest affinity for?
muscarinic
acetylcholine biosynthesis
choline into nerve terminal
acetylcholine + choline
transported into storage vesicle by VAT
Ca goes up in cell, vesicles fuse and ACh released (this can be blocked by botox)
ACh binds to receptors and is terminated by AChE
muscarinic agonist heart effects
M2 leads to decrease in HR, conduction, and force
muscarinic agonist exocrine glands effect
M3 increase in secretion (tears, saliva, sweat)
muscarinic agonist smooth muscle effect
M3 increase in contraction
muscarinic agonist sphincter effect
M3 relaxation
muscarinic agonist CNS effects
M1 tremor, hypothermia, increased locomotor activity, improved cognition
direct acting cholinergic receptors structure
esters (like acetylcoa)
chemical modifications to direct acting cholinergic agonist
add beta methyl, add carbamate
modification effect on activity and sensitivity to AChE
beta methyl increse muscarinic decrease nicotinic, adding either will decrease sensitivity to AChE
what are alkaloids
natural product, stereochemistry, selective
pilocarpine target
muscarinic agonist
pilocarpine use
for dry mouth (xerostemia/sjorgens), promote sweating, urination, salivation, glaucoma (increase outflow)
why are antimuscarinic drugs contraindicated in glaucoma?
STRONG side effects
methacholine
muscarinic agonist
provocative test for hyperactive airways
carbachol
muscarinic agonist
ocular (surgery, glaucoma)
