Exam 1 Adrenergic Drugs Flashcards
Norephinephrine mech
-a1 agonist
-B1 agonist
-MAO and COMT sensitive
Norepinephrine structure
-catecholamine
-benzene with 2 OH + monoamine
Epinephrine mech
-a1 agonist (high concentrations)
-B1 agonist
-B2 agonist
-MAO and COMT sensitive
Epinephrine structure
NE with methyl group on N
Epinephrine use
-anaphylaxis
-cardiac arrest
Epinephrine problems
-not orally active bc MAO and COMT metabolism
Epinephrine counters hypoglycemia
-a1 activation inhibits insulin secretion
-B2 activation increases glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis
=increases glucose
Dipiveferin (epinephrine)
-infant glaucoma
-lipophilic
-activated by esterase
Dopamine (intropin) mech
-D1 agonist: renal dilation
-B1 agonist: cardioSTIMULATION and vasoCONSTRICTION
Dopamine use
-shock
-acute congestive heart failure
selective D1 agonist problems
-severe HTN
a1 receptor agonists
-phenylephrine
-oxymetazoline
phenylephrine use
-nasal decongestant
-mydriasis
-pressor
-vasoCONSTRICTOR in anesthesia
Phenylephrine mech
-a1 agonist
-Gq pathway
-MAO substrate
Phenylephrine structure
-epinephrine without para -OH
Phenylephrine problems
-shit nasal decongestant
-first pass metabolism
oxymetazoline mech
-a1 PARTIAL agonist
-promote vasoCONSTRICTION
-tachyphylaxis/desenstization
oxymetazoline structure
-2-aralkylimidazoline
-pentagon with 2 Nitrogen
-resonance stabled
Oxymetazoline use
-nasal and ophthalmic decongestants
non-selective B agonist
-Isoproterenol
Isoproterenol mech
-B1 and B2 agonist
-Gs
-COMT substrate
Isoproterenol effects
-bronchoDILATION
-increase CO
-may lower BP (B2 vasodilation and lower peripheral resistance)
Isoproterenol uses
-COPD
-asthma
-cardiostimulant in emergency
-heartblock before pacemaker implantation
-after cardiac surgery
-not rlly used bc epinephrine and dopamine are better
B1 agonist effects
-increase CO
-increase AV conduction
-increase renin release in kidney
