Q

fxyd subunit

A

Tissue-specific regulator in the heart, kidney, pancreas, foetal liver

  • 7.2 KDa (58 amino acids) – one transmembrane domain
  • not an integral part of the enzyme
  • different izoforms

Heart (FXYD1, phospholemman)

      -when dephosphorylated it decreases the Na+ affinity of the α-subunit
      -adrenergic β1 receptor stimulation → PKA stimulation → 
        phosphorylation of phospholemman → [Na+]i [Ca2+]i ↓ -prevention of 
        arrythmia

Kidney (FXYD2)
-increases the affinity of the enzyme for ATP
Kidney medulla is nearly anoxic under physiological conditions
- Some reabsorptions are under the control of the Na+-pump
- Moderate increase in the affinity for ATP → increased pump activity
(Fine tuning! Large affinity increase would cause further ATP ↓ !)

Q

why shouldn’t I take botux?

Why should I know the chains it has?

A

Botulinum toxins
there’s 7 wonderful ways to kill myself.
7 neuro-toxin (BoNT- A,B,C,D,E,F,G) – inhibitors of the cholinergic neurotransmission
Light chain is the enzymatic part, heavy chain mediates uptake to the neuron.
It inhhibts release of the neuotransmitter.
don’t forget it is a Zn+ dependent endoprotease.
They love dem god damn Snare motifs.

Q

M3 muscurinic

A

Gastro-intestinal tract, Gq – [Ca2+]
– Smooth muscle contraction
– Secretion stimulation
it typically causes constriction of smooth muscle, such as that observed during bronchoconstriction. However, with respect to vasculature, activation of M3 on vascular endothelial cells causes increased synthesis of nitric oxide, which diffuses to adjacent vascular smooth muscle cells and causes their relaxation and vasodilation,

L-Dopa

31
Q

Uptake of norepinephrine/epinephrine/dopamine

into synaptic vesicles

A
VMTA 2
vesicular membrane transporter 2
-12 transmembrane domain
-broad substrate-specificity to
biogenic amines
(triptamine, tiramine,
amfetamin – compete with
endogenous catecholamine)
32
Q

what inhibits VMTA2?

A

reserpin (irreversible)

causes depletion of vesicles and degradation since free molecules in cytsol will be degraded by MAO.

33
Q

MAO isoenzymes, function, location

A

outer mitochondria,
mao-A- important in catabolism of monoamines ingested in food.
Mao B-

34
Q

mao a inhibitors

A

used as antidepressent because of their higher affinity for seratonin degredation.
Clorgilin

35
Q

mao b inhibitor

A

Used for their prevenation of dopamine breakdown which is the main reduced neuostransmitter in parkinsons.
Two drugs: Deprenyl, Selegiline.

36
Q

last product of Noreadrenalin in the brain.

And since you’re a doctor, diagnose what happens if his urine tastes of too much or too low MHPG levels.

A

MHPG- 3-methoxy-1-hydroxy-phenylglycol.
Low levels- Anorexia nervosa (the coolest type of anorexia)
Raised levels- Recent high sympathetic activity.

37
Q

and also if you taste urine of peripheral metabolic product of norepinephrine

A

3-methoxy-4-hydroxy mandelic acid=VMA=Vanillymandelic acid. (peripheral neurones.. important fact…)
High amounts can indicate peripheral sympathetic activity, tumors such as phechromocytoma (whatever this is)

38
Q

inhibitors of catecholamine reuptake… one you might want to try.

A

Cocaine, tricyclic antidepressents.

39
Q

dopa-decarboxylase inhibitor drug

40
Q

mao b inhibitor,

and why

A

Deprenyl (Parkinson’s disease)
Selegylin.
Inhibition of this enzyme allows the preference of accummilating the conc. of dopamine, since MOA B degrades dopamine, you can minimize the symptoms of parkinsons.

(litium influences)
47
Q
  • homovanillic acid, what is it? how is it made? and what does the taste of high concentration (vanilla?) tell you?
A
- homovanillic acid appears
in the urine
- the amount in the urine
indicates the functional
state of dopaminergic
neurons
in Parkinson’s disease ↓
in Schizophrenia ↑
48
Q

if the friend near you really suffers from parkinson, what would you like to give him, assuming you actually want to help him?

A

1) L-dopa- permeable to BBB (unlike dopamine which isn’t).
2) To prevent convertion of L-Dopa to Dopamine in the peripheray, you’ll also give him Carbidopa to inhibit this annoying peripheral decarboxylase ( or just don’t if you just want to screw with him).
3) Entacapone to inhibit another annoying COMT metabolic processor.
4) Selegiline (deprnyl) to inhibit MAO B thus increasing the effective dopamine levels in the brain.
5) Prayer from the lord.

Risk- double edged sword- you can actualy induce schizophrenia if you really screw with him by increasing the dopamine levels in the brain.

49
Q

If your friend thinks that medical school is good and easy, you might assume he has schizophrenia.. why?

A

Concepts:
increased dopaminergic activity in the brain and/or
decreased glutamatergic activity
• increased dopamine level in the brain
• increased level of homovanillic acid in the liquor
• increased number of D2 receptors

My own note: You really screwed his parkinsons disease drugs.

50
Q

Serotonin, where do you find it?

and what functions does it have?

A

Enterochromaffin cells, CNS (suu many nuclei raphe)
Regulate appetite, moof, and sleep, mood and learning this crap lectures.
also related to enkephalin release (pain relief)
Also connected to Suprachiasmatic nucleus, which is the circadian regulator for melatonin release.

51
Q

how is serotonin made and from what?
Cofactors!!
Regulation

A

L-Tryptophan—> 5-Hydroxytryptophan—> Serotonin.
2x enzymatic rxns (Tryptophan hydroxylase, aminoacid decarboxylase)
Which means they also have use the regular- Tetrahydropterin, O2 and Iron.
PLP for Decarboxylase.
Amino acid decaboxylase is not a specific enzyme for this reaction.
Then taken up by VMAT 1 or 2.

52
Q

Regulation of Tryptophan hydroxylase.

A

• Phosphorylation - short term
regulation
(CAMK II, PKC)
Synthesis of the enzyme is increased - long term regul

53
Q

How is Tryptophan being moved to the brain?

Might have connection to the Seminars with metabolism exercise.

A

Large neutral amino acid trasporter (LAT1_
Preferential heterodimeric transporter for Branched chain (Valine, leucine, isoleucine) and aromatic (tryptophan and tyrosine).
expressed in the brain capillaries for BBB permeability.

54
Q

How is melatonin made?

From begging lazy ass.

A

I wont mention the early enzymes.
Last two enzymes: 5ht- N-acetyl transferase enzyme.
then the last step is the conversion of N-acetyl serotonin to melatonin by the enzyme 5-hydroxyindole-o-methyltransferase.

• The amount of the enzyme in the
glandula pineale daytime ↓
in darkness → increased
sympathetic activity → ß receptor
activation in the glandula pineale
→ cAMP → acetyltransferase
activation → increased synthesis
of melatonin
55
Q

metabolism of serotonin steps?

final product?

A

MAO-A (why A all of a sudden? maybe because 80% is produced by enterochromaffin cells)
Then Aldehyde dehydrogenase producing-
5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid.

56
Q

what does Amphetamine derivatives (e.g.: Fenfluramine,

Ecstasy) do?

A

inhibition of both transporters -
enhanced 5-HT release (inhibited by SERT inhibitors).
SERT actualy reverses it’s transport, transporting Serotonin outside rather than inside with one K+.
So does NET and DAT transporters revese.

57
Q

SERT?

A

specific serotonin transporter.

doubles the transport with the influx of N and Cl-

58
Q

cocaine and tca…

A

50 % homology with NAT & DAT
(TCA, cocain effect)
*Selective serotonin uptake inhibitors
are effective antidepressants

59
Q

If you or your friends are depressed from learning about pharma in your second year as a medical student, which drugs and which serotonin receptor would you target?

A

Antidepressive drugs:
Inhibitors of MAO (selegiline?)
SERT inhibitors
5-HT1A receptor agonists- Novel anxiolytics.. flesinoxan.

60
Q

5-ht1A receptor pathway…

Q

5-ht2 receptor pathway andlocation…

A

g-q.

platlets, smoothmuscle, pns cns. gi.

62
Q

you’re friend is both hallucinogenic and psychotic.

which drugs and target serotonin receptor would you like to screw up.

A

Antipsychotic effects are obtain by targeting (schizophrenia or bipolar)

1) DA receptor antagonists –typical)
2) 5-HT2 receptor inhibitors (effect also on DA receptors)

Hallucinogen drugs (LSD) can target to 5-Ht2 receptor and cause you to see smurfs.

63
Q

5-ht3 receptor is.. and where

A

pns and cns

second messanger involves opening of a ligand gated non specific channel.

64
Q

If you think you’re pregnant (nausea) or just took some chemo, which target serotonin receptor would you block

A
5-HT3
receptor antagonists against nausea
Chemotherapy 5-HT release from the gastro-intestinal enterochromaffin cells 
visceral afferent neurons 5-HT3
receptors depolarization chemoreceptor
activation NAUSE
Drug- Ondansertron.
65
Q

Migraine and leonys paracetamol wont help you?

which serotonin receptor

A

Migraines are thought to arrive from decreased serotonergic activity in the brain, which is thought to cause vasoconstriction of vessels in the brain and severse pain.
Take sumatriptan, it’s better than leonys drugs, agonist for type 5 receptors…
