Exam #4 Flashcards
Yohimbine (Yobine)
alpha 2 antagonist
Naturally occuring alkaloid
Carvedilol (Coreg)
Non-selective adrenoceptor antagonist
Lipid Soluble
Without ISA
alpha blocking and antioxidant properties
Labetalol
Non-selective adrenoceptor antagonist
Water Soluble
With ISA
alpha blocking activity
used for hypertension in pregnancy
With ISA Beta Blocker Effects
Increase the HR at rest but decrease it during exercise
Less likely to effect lipid profile
Overall uncertain clinical significance
Metyrosine
Affect Noradrenergic Neurons
Helps control blood pressure and sweating
Blocks Catecholamine synthesis by inhibiting tyrosine hydroxylase, which would eventually lead to adrenaline production.
Side effects of sedation and drowsiness
Reserpine
Affects Noradrenergic Neurons
Blocks the transportation of norepinepherine into vessicles, making it accululate in the cytoplasma
Was used to treat hypertension - ineffective
Major side effect of depression
Guanethidine
Affects Noradrenergic Neurons
Neuron blocking drug
inhibits the release of norepinepherine from adrenergic nerve terminal
Displaces NE in the synaptic vesicles, causing long lasting depletion of NE similar to reserpine
Used to treat hypertension
Side effects of postural hypotension, diarrhea, nasal congestion, failure of ejaculation
Trimethaphan
Autonomic nicotinic ganglia blocker
non-depolarizing competitive antagonist
produces controlled hypotension during surgery
lowers blood pressure through decreasing heart rate and contractility. Also decreases sympathetic reflex
used in PTs with acute aortic dissection and pulmonary edema
Botox
Inhibition of acetylcholine release
local anesthetic
Tubocurarine
Blockade of nicotinic cholinergic receptors at NMJ
Non-depolarizing competitive inhibitors
paralyses, but is not a anesthetic
rapid onset and not access to the brain
Succinylcholine
Prolonged agonist action at Nm receptors
depolarizing non-competitive agonist
Muscle relaxant during surgery and coma
hydrolyzed by plasma esterases
two phases - depolarization (muscle no longer responsive to Ach) and slow repolarization
Bethanechol
Cholanergic agonist
Predominantly Muscarinic
GI and Urinary tract target
Treats bladder and GI hypotonia
Cevimeline
Cholanergic agonist
Targets M3
Treats Sjogrens syndrome
Atropine
Muscarinic antagonist
Treats sinus bradycardia
Dries secretions for anesthetic premedication
Tropicamide
Muscarinic antagonist
Dilate the pupils
Cyclopentolate
Muscarinic antagonist
Dilate the pupils
Benztropine
Muscarinic antagonist
Treatment for Parkinson’s
Ipratropium
Muscarinic antagonist
Bronchodilation, treatment for asthma and COPD
Tiotropium
Muscarinic antagonist
Bronchodilation, treatment for asthma and COPD
dicycloverine
Muscarinic antagonist
Anti-spasmodic for those with IBS
Darifenacin
Muscarinic antagonist
Relive symptoms of overactive bladder
Phentolamine
Non-selective alpha antagonist
Irreversible
High agonist concentrations can overcome the effect
Phenoxybenzamine
Non-selective alpha antagonist
Irreversible
High agonist concentrations can overcome the effect
Prazosin (Minipress)
alpha 1 antagonist
Short 1/2 life
