First Semester Test 2 Cholinergics / Adrenergics Flashcards
Cholinergics Table
Cholinergic overdose
D - Defication/Diarrhea
U - Urination
M - Miosis
B - Bronchorrhea/Bronchospasm/Bradycardia
E - Emesis/ExcitationLacrimation

DUMBELS
Cholinergic PNS Receptor subtypes
Cholinergic (PANS - Parasympathetic (rest& digest) Autonomic Nervous System)
M1 - CNS Neurons
M2 - Myocardium smooth M.
M3 - Exocrine glands vessels (smooth & endo)
M4 - CNS neuron, Vagal nerve endings
M5 - Vascular endothelium, cerebral vessels, CNS neurons
Nn (Nicotinic Neuronal) - Post ganglionic nuerons, some presynaptic ACh ternimals, CNS
Nm (Nicotinic Muscular) - Skeleral Muscle (nueromuscular end plates)
Muscarinic Agonists
Muscarinics - Methacholine
Can - Carbachol
Be - Bethanechol
Pretty - Pilocarpine
Cool - Cevimeline
Actions:
Bradycardia INC Urination
Bronchoconstriction Vasodilation
Miosis INC Cognition
INC Secretions Tremor
INC GI Motility
Muscarinic Agonist Specifics
Methacholine - Asthma testing
Bethanechol - Post-op urinary retention
Carbachol - Glaucoma
Pilocarpine - Glaucoma/Xerostomia
Cevimeline - Xerostomia
Indirect Muscarinic Agonist (Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor) Agents
Don’t - Donepezil
Test - Tacrine
Griffin - Galantamine
Rogers - Rivastigmine
Indirect Muscarinic Agonist (Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor) Actions / ADRs
Actions:
Enhance cognition, mood, and behavior
ADRs:
Bradycardia
Dizziness/Lightheadedness
INC urinary frequency
Nausea
Diarrhea
Indirect Muscarinic Agonist (Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor) Specifics
Tacrine - off market, hepatoxic
Donepezil - For severe Alzheimer’s
Rivastigmine - mild/moderate AD, parkinsons
Galantamine - mild/moderate AD
Indirect Muscarinic Agonist (non-Alzheimers Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor (NAAI))
Even - Edrophonium
Now - Neostigmine
People - Pyridostigmine
Are - Ambenonium
Praying - Physostigmine
Often - Organophosphate
NAAI Actions/ADRs
Actions:
Increase ACh at the NMJ
ADRs:
Muscarinic receptor activation
Muscle cramping
Cholinergic crisis
Myasthenic Crysis
Organophosphate Toxicity
NAAI Specifics
Edrophonium - Assess Cholinergic/myasthenic crisis
Neostigmine/Pyridostigmine/Ambenonium - Myasthenia Gravis
Physostigmine - Anticholinergic Toxidrome
Organophosphates: Sarin, Parathion And Malathion
Covalently bond enzyme active site leading to irreversible inhibition of AChE (prevents clearance of ACh)
Nicotinic Agonists
Varenicline - Used for smoking cessation (Partial agonist a4B2
Actions: Suppress nicotine withdrawal symptoms
ADRs:
Vivid/abnormal dreams
N/V
Constipation
Neuropsychiatric disorders
Nicotinic non-depolarizing Muscular Blockers (NMB)
Nicotinic muscular (Nm) antagonists
Always - Atracurium
Come - Cisatracurium
Round - Rocuronium
Very - Vecuronium
Patiently - Pancuronium
Actions: Competitively bind receptor at NMJ inhibiting muscle contraction
ADRs: Prolonged apnea from diaphragm paralysis
Neostigmine to clear NMB w/Atropine to Antagonize muscarinic receptor
Nicotinic Depolarizing NMB (Agonist)
Succinylcholine - Short-acting
Actions: Continual depolarization of NMJ
ADRs: Malignant hypothermia (uncontrolled calcium release)
Dantrolene to treat malignant Hypothermia
Other Nicotinics
Bupropion - Antidepressant & some use in smoking cessation
ADRs:
Agitation, Insomnia, Irritability, Dry Mouth, Nausea, Tachycardia
*can lower Seizure threshold-> dosing limitations
Wightloss-> can be a favorable adverse effect
