Pilocarpine
Glaucoma - binds to N and M receptors (agonist)
SIDE EFFECTS!
Duvoid
Non-obstructive urinary retention
M receptor agonist
Nicotine (low and hi dose)
Low dose -> N1 agonist -> autonomic function increased
hi dose ->N1 antagonist -> autonomic function decreased
Curare
Inhibits skeletal muscle contraction, N2 blocker (antagonist)
Sux
Depolarizing blocker, N2 antagonist
Trimethaphan
N1 blocker, LAST RESORT of hypertension
Antiacetylcholinesterases
keeps Ach around longer and prolong Ach at that junction
Ex: physostigmine, neostigmine, serin, insecticides like organphosphates
Demser
blocks enzyme that converts L-tyrosine to L-dopa, decrease hypertension, PRE-SEYNAPTIC
Aldomet
Doesn’t bind a1 or b1, but binds b2, PRE-SYNAPTIC,
