Cholinergic pharm COPY Flashcards
three groups of cholinesterase inhibitors (indirect acting cholinomimetics)
carbamates
simple alcohol esters
organophosphate
there are a couple others that dont fit in these three categories
Edrophonium
cholinesterase inhibitor - simple alcohol ester
rapidly degraded
soman
cholinesterase inhibitor - organophosphate
oxybutynin
muscarinic antagonist - tertiary amine
sarin
cholinesterase inhibitor - organophosphate
darifenacin
muscarinic antagonist - tertiary amine
mecamylamine
ganglionic blocking drug
methscopolamine
muscarinic antagonist - quaternary amine
hexamethonium
ganglionic blocking drug
rivastigmine
cholinesterase inhibitor - carbamate
lobeline
tert alkaloid (DA cholinoceptor ag)
CNS effects
nicotinic activation predominant
ambenonium
cholinesterase inhibitor - carbamate
propantheline
muscarinic antagonist - quaternary amine
solifenacin
muscarinic antagonist - tertiary amine
darifenacin
muscarinic antagonist - tertiary amine
Direct acting cholinoceptor agonists (types)
esters of choline
alkaloids
isoflurophate
cholinesterase inhibitor - organophosphate
demecarium
cholinesterase inhibitor - carbamate
carbaryl
cholinesterase inhibitor - carbamate
high lipid solubility = rapid CNS effects
common insectoside
donepezil
cholinesterase inhibitor used for alzheimers disease
improves cognition - but doesnt slow or cure the disease
pirenzepine
muscarinic antagonist - tertiary amine
M1 selective
