Exam 1 Structures Flashcards

nicotine s enantiomer
effects ganglia and skeletal muscle, metabolized to cotinine and nicotine n-oxide


Bethanechol
relieves urinary retention, stimulates GI, systemic

carbachol
constricts pupil in glaucoma, alternative to pilocarpine for ocular surgery

carbaryl
insecticide, indirect reversible cholinergic

cevimeline
direct agoinst; selective M1, M3
-treatment of dry mouth

cotinine
-metabolite of nicotine

methacholine
- direct agonist
- diagnostic for asthma

muscarine
- postganglionic parasympathetic effects
- insensitive to AchE
- no clinical use

neostigmine
- methyl on carbamate increases stability
- quaternary ammounium makes polar: does not cross BBB
- topical applicaiton
- myasthenia gravis 150mg/day

nicotine n oxide
-metabolite of nicotine

nicotine s enantiomer
-effects ganglia and skeletal muscle

ach alpha
- nicotinic activity
- no muscarinic activity

physostigmine
- reversible indirect agonist
- glaucoma treatment

pilocarpine
- direct agonist, muscarinic
- glaucoma, pupil constriction, reduce ciliary muscle spasm

propoxur
- reversible indirect agonist
- insecticide

tacrine
- reversible agonist, Alzheimers
- Inhibits K1
- Liver toxicity

donepezil
- reversible indirect agonist, Alzheimers
- free base crosses BBB
- occupies active site of enzyme
- no hepatoxicity

rivastigmine
- reversible indirect agonist, Alzheimers
- cross BBB, carbamate limits regeneration of AchE
BID, 10 hr duration
-diarrhea

galantamine
-treats dementia
limits formation of complex w/ enzyme

isofluorophate
- irreversible inhibitor
- glaucoma
- discontinued: absroption into the skin and persistant miosis

echothiophate
- irreversible inhibitor
- does not cross BBB or skin
- treatment of glaucoma
- discontinued

parathion
- irreversible inh ACHE
- insecticide
- humans may convert to paraoxon, banned in US

malathion
- irreversible, organophosphate
- replaced parathion as insecticide
- can be eliminated through carboxyesterases
- converted to the very powerful malaoxon

pralidoxime
2-PAM
- reverses phosphorylation by an organophosphate
- must be used quickly
