Drugs only Flashcards
Has a short half life; is an adenosine receptor antagonist (DECREASE)
Caffeine
A precursor to DA (INCREASE)
L-DOPA
A precursor to 5-HT (INCREASE)
Tryptophan
Inhibits synthesis of DA and NE (DECREASE)
Alpha-methyl-para-tyrosine (AMPT)
The enzyme that makes DA and NE
tyrosine hydroxylase
Inhibits the synthesis of 5-HT (DECREASE)
Para-chlorophenylalanine
The enzyme that makes 5-HT
tryptophan hydroxylase
Prevents the packing of DA, 5-HT, NE into vesicles by blocking vesicular transporters (DECREASE)
Reserpine
reverses the uptake transporter for DA and NE (INCREASE)
d-amphetamine (adderall)
reverses the uptake transporter for NE, but has less BBB permeability (INCREASE)
pseudoephedrine (decongestant)
Stops release of ACh from vesicles in neuromucular junction (DECREASE)
botulinum toxin (botox)
A 5-HT autoreceptor agonist (DECREASE)
8-OH-DPAT
An NE autoreceptor antagonist (INCREASE)
yohimbine
blocks MAO (enzyme that breaks down monoamines) (INCREASE)
