31
Q

What are main muscarinic receptor antagonists

A

atropine, scopolamine, tropicamide (all tertiary)ipratropium

32
Q

what is donepezil?

A

tertiary ACHEi- crosses BBB, used in seizures

33
Q

what is pralidoxime used for?

A

organophosphate poisiningDetaches organophosphates from AChE

34
Q

How does botulinum toxin work?

A

Blocks ACh release.It lyses synapto- brevin, thereby preventing synaptic vesicle fusion and Ca2+-dependent release; used clinically to prevent spasms and reduce pain in ocular/facial muscles and to reduce severe underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis); used cosmetically to lessen wrinkles; has a 2-4 mo duration/local injection.Leads to respiratory failure

35
Q

How does black widow toxin work?

A

Promotes ACh releaseIt results in excessive clumping of vesicles and “explosive release”. Also leads to respiratory failure.

36
Q

What is edrophonium?

A

Ultra short acting AChEi

37
Q

What is the action of nicotine?

A

nAChr agonist

38
Q

What is the action of curare?

A

Non-depolarizing blocker at muscle type nAChr’scompetitive antagonists at nAChRs at the NMJCauses flaccid paralysis of skeletal musclesrenal elimination

39
Q

What is atracurium?

A

Non-depolarizing blocker at muscle-type nAChRs competitive antagonists at nAChRs at the NMJCauses flaccid paralysis of skeletal musclesCompared to curare: faster onset, shorter duration of action, fewer side effectsEliminated via spontaneous hydrolysis and hydrolysis by plasma ChEs$$$

40
Q

WHat is Rocuronium?

A

Non-depolarizing blocker at muscle typenAChr’s competitive antagonists atnAChRs at the NMJCauses flaccid paralysis of skeletal musclesCompared to atracurium: faster onset, similar duration of action(2) None of curare’s side effects(3) Eliminated via hepatic metabolism$$$

41
Q

What is succinylcholine?

A

Depolarizing blocker at muscle type nAChr’s(1) Like ACh, succinylcholine interacts with nAChRs to increase Na+ permeability; the resulting depolarization leads to a short burst of action potentials; this initial stimulation (1-5 min) is associated with muscle fasciculations and soreness.(2) Since succinylcholine is not as rapidly eliminated as ACh, depolarization at the NMJ is prolonged and depolarization block, as well as desensitization, produce flaccid skeletal muscle paralysis.Used to facilitate intubation and to allow controlled ventilation in ICU and as an adjuvant to surgical anesthesia

42
Q

What is the tensilon test?

A

In myasthenia gravis, Ab to muscle type nAChr often result in skeletal muscle weakness and fatiguability. Endrophonium (tensilon) is an ultra-short acting AChEi that is used for diagnosis. The person would get a little stronger.

43
Q

What is the depolarization blockade?

A

Prolonged stimulation of nAChRs, for example caused by AChE inhibitors increas- ing the lifetime of synaptic ACh, results in(1) depolarization blockade”

44
Q

How do you usually treat myasthenia gravis?

A

reversible, long acting AChEi’s like pyridostigmine (quaternary)SteroidsThymectomy

45
Q

nicotine on nAChr in NMJ

A

blockade (depolarization block and nAChr desensitization)

46
Q

n on periperal sesnsory receptors

A

stimulation(stretch receptors, chemo- receptors (carotid and aortic bodies), thermal receptors (skin and tongue), and pain receptors)

47
Q

n on ANS ganglia

A

initial stimulation followed by blockade (depolarization block & nAChr desensitization)

48
Q

n on CV system

A

increase HR and BP

49
Q

n on CNS

A

stimulation followed by depression and addiction

50
Q

What are the monoamines?

A

DA, NE, 5HT

51
Q

What does MAO do?

A

Mitochondrial enzyme, converts catecholamines to aldehydes, isozymes with different substrate specificities exist (MAO A: norepinephrine, serotonin, tyramine; MAO B: dopamine).

52
Q

What are MAOi’s used for?What are some common MAOi’s?

A

Depression:Phenylzine, tranylcypromine = irreversible inhibitors of MAO A, Bmoclobemide = reversible inhibitor MAO AParkinson’s:Selegiline = irreversible MAO B
