Q

NE neurotransmission

A

tyrosine transported in –> dopa (tyrosine hyrdoxylase) –> dopamine (dopa decarboxylase)
dopamine into VMAT gets converted to NE by dopamine hydroxylase
release of NE when action potential opens Ca+ channels
NE releases and binds adrenergic R + regulatory R
NE that diffuses out of cleft gets reuptaken and metabolized by MAO
NE diffuses away from cleft metabolized by COMT

use: nasal decongestant, mydriasis, pressor, vasoconstriction
admin: parenteral, local, oral (not substrate for COMT)

21
Q

2-aralkylimidazolines

A

direct a1 adrenergic agonist
vasoconstriction
r - substituted aromatic ring structure
x - methylene or amino

22
Q

a2 receptor agonist

A

inhibit sympathetic output: inhibit release of NE + decrease CV SNS input
agonist: HTN, pain, glaucoma0
brainstem controls CV action, a2 inhibits output from brain

23
Q

clonidine

A

selective a2 receptor agonist
decrease SNS output to heart + blood vessels

24
Q

guanbenz + guanfacince

A

open-ring, bridge decreases pka –> unionized –> cross BBB

25
Q

methyldopa + methyldopate

A

methyldopa: prodrug, good for CNS bc no b-hydroxy (more lipophillic), HTN
methyldopate: more water soluble ester –> parenteral use

26
Q

brimodine

A

glaucoma –> a2 R agonist in eye –> to inhibit aqueous humor production

27
Q

B1 receptor function (Gs)

A

increase HR, conduction, contraction
increase renin release
agonist: shock, congestive heart failure
antagonist: HTN, angina, arrthymias, congestive heart failure

28
Q

A

reflex tachycardia: increase in HR (B1)
vasoconstriction (a1)
net: increase BP

32
Q

baroreceptor - increase BP

A

reflex bradycardia

33
Q

b1 - cardiac stimulation (increase HR)
hr decreases; bp increase bc of reflex tachycardia

34
Q

baroreceptor - E (a1, b1, b2)

A

a1 - vasoconstricts
b1 - cardiac stim hr increase
b2 - vasodilates + bronchodilates
