Exam 2 Pharmacology Flashcards
bioterpin
glycine transporter 1 antagonist
(increases NMDAR activity since NMDARs need glycine as a co-agonist, potential antipsychotic)
N-methylglycine sarcosine
Glycine transporter 1 antagonist
(increases NMDAR activity since NMDARs need glycine as a co-agonist, potential antipsychotic)
glycine, b-alanine, taurine, d and l-alanine, l-serine, d-serine
glycine receptor agonists
glycine receptor agonists
amino acids: glycine, b-alanine, taurine, d and l-alanine, l-serine, d-serine
strychnine
competitive glycine receptor antagonist
a convulsant and pesticide, lethal
picrotoxin and picrotin
noncompetitive inhibitors of alpha-homomeric glycine receptors and gaba a receptors
a convulsant, insecticide, antidote for barbituate poisoning in GABAA
cyano-triphenyl-borate (CBT)
noncompetitive antagonist of alpha 2 homomeric glycine receptors, use-dependent meaning it binds in the open conformation
vigabatrin
blocks gaba transaminase, meaning there is more GABA around
acts as an anticonvulsant
tiagabine
GABA transporter inhibitor
anticonvulsant
muscimol
GABA A agonist at the GABA site
bicuculline
GABAA antagonist at the GABA site
what do benzodiazepines, ethanol, and anaesthetics have in common
positive allosteric modulators of GABA A, potentiate GABA A current
benzodiazepines
potentiate the gaba a current, making it stronger
anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative, alcohol detox
beta-carboline/ b-cce
inverse agonist of GABAA, binding at the benzodiazepine site
flumazenil
antagonist of GABAa at the benzodiazepine site, reverses the benzodiazepine overdose, reduces sleepiness
barbituates
bind gabaa on the beta subunit, potentiate GABAA current, sedatives/anxiolytics w/ high abuse potential
neurosteroids
allopregnanolone, ganaxalone
positive allosteric modulators of GABAa that act as anxiolytics or anticonvulsants
allopregnanolone, ganaxalone
positive allosteric modulators of GABAa that act as anxiolytics or anticonvulsants
anaesthetics
potentiate gabaA current
desflurane, isoflurane, sevoflurane
volatile anasthetics that potentiate gaba A current
propofol
intravenous anaesthetics that potentiate the GABA a current
ethanol
potentiates the GABAa current and can also weakly antagonize NMDARs
baclofen
gaba b agonist
a muscle relaxant for spastic movement disorders and maybe alcoholism
3-APPA
gabab agonist
phaclofen
gabab r antagonist
nAchr agonists
acetylcholine, nicotine, carbachol, arecoline, coniine
turbocurarine
nachr competitive reversible antagonist, active component of curare
varenicline
partial agonist at nachr receptors, helps with smoking quitting
mecamylmine
noncompetitive nachr antagonist
alpha-bungarotoxin
nachr antagonist– competitive and irreversible
muscarine
nonspecific agonist of machrs, causes salivation, sweating, tearing, diarrhea, cardiac/respiratory failure
antidote is atropine
