Cholinergics Flashcards
Ach
M agonist
Tx for glaucoma
Pseudocholinesterase
rapidly hydrolyzes Ach in the periphery
Carbachol- Isopto Carbachol - structure
analog of Ach that is resistant to hydrolysis by cholinesterase
Carbachol- Isopto Carbachol
M agonist
Topical tx for Glaucoma
Methacholine- Provocoline
M agonist
Pulmonary function tests in asthma
Bethanocol- Urocholine
M agonist
Stimulate GI motility
treat urinary retention
Pilocarpine- Salagine, Ocusert Pilo
M agonist
Tx for Glaucoma
Tx for Xerostomia
Endrophonium (tensilon)
Cholinesterase inhibitor
Tensilon test in MG
Endrophonium- Tensilon half life
very short
Neostigmine- Prostimin
Pyridostigmine- Mestinon
Cholinesterase inhibitor
Tx Mysesthinia Gravis
Pyridostigmine- Mestion
Prexposure antitodal tx for nerve gas poisoning in chemical warfare
Physostigmine
Eserine (antilirium)
Cholinesterase Inhibitor
Tx- Atropine or other M antagonist poisoning
M agonists
Ach Carbachol Methacholine Bethanechol Pilocarpine
Reversible Cholinesterase Inhibitors
Edrophonium Physostigmine Neostigmine Pyridostigmine Rivastigmine Donepezil Carbamate Insecticides
Irreversible Cholinesterase inhibitors- MOA
Pi
Reversible Cholinesterase inhibitors- MOA
competitive antagonist
Irreversible Cholinesterase inhibitors
Parathoion- organophosphate insecticides
Sarin- other nerve gasses
Organophosphate Insectisides
Parathion
Organophosphate Insecticides- MOA
activated to Paroxone- happens faster in misquitos and they cant clear the metabolites
Parathion absorption
Through the skin
Parathion poisoning- signs
Signs of cholinesterase inhibitor poisoning
Parathion Tx
Atropine
Pralidoxime
symptomatix tx
Carbamate Insecticides- Carbaryl- absorption
Cant be absorbed through skin as much as Parathion
Carbamate insecticide poisoning- Signs and symptoms
sings of cholinesterase inhibitor poisoning
Carbamate insecticide poisoning- Tx
Atropine
Pralidoxime wont work
