Cholinergics/anticholinergics Flashcards
most cholinergic receptors are? exceptions?
muscarinic M1,M2, M3 but nicotinic at NMJ and autonomic ganglia
trimethaphan
tertiary amine used as antagonist at ganglionic nicotinic receptors reduction in BP during surgery and emergencies
anticholinesterases
prevent degradation of ACh = enhances parasympathetic = cholinergic 7 (edrophonium, neostigmine, pyridostigmine, physostigmine, ecothiophate, donepezil, tacrine)
what to treat atropine overdose with?
physostigmine (fixostigmine), does cross BBB
two drugs to treat alzheimers
donepezil/tacrine anticholinesterases lipophilic, crosses BBB
2 anticholinergics for urinary incontinence?
oxybutinin tolterodine (tertiary amines - can enter BBB)
what drug preferentially blocks NMJ nicotinic receptors?
tubocurarine
methacholine
cholinergic drug that induces bronchospasm(M3), used for asthma challenge test
selective: M1 antagonist? M3 antagonist?
1- pirenzepine 3- tiotropium
what are neostigmine and pyridostigmine used for?
treat myasthenia gravis, urinary retention, and reerse NMJ block
nicotine stimulates increased ____firing and ______ released in ________
cortical neurons dopamine nucleus accumbens
treatment for acute nicotine poisoning?
atropine
hexamethonium (C6) and tetraethylammonium
quaternary amines used as ganglionic blockers (antagonist at ganglionic nicotinic receptors) -used to treat hypertension but no longer used due to extreme side effects
treat motion sickness and for CNS sedation
scopolamine
M1? M2? M3?
CNS/ens(enteric NS) heart exocrine glands/smooth m/blood vessels
what happens at very high doses of nicotine?
ganglionic blockade
homatropine
better for eyes than atropine
what drug to treat cystitis and reduce bladder spasms?
anticholinergic oxybutinin
chronic nicotine toxicity
o Tar risk for cancer, emphysema, and bronchial disease o CO risk of CV diseases o Pregnant smokers risk of miscarriage or low birth weight o ADDICTION
to reduce acid secretions in peptic ulcer?
pirenzepine M1 selective
pirenzepine
tricyclic antidepressant, decreases stomach acid
specificity of anticholinergics
none are very specific antagonize all muscarinic receptors; competitive antagonism
cholinergics broncho_____
constrict
