Anaesthetics and MOA

A

Etomidate (GABA-A)
Midazolam (GABA-A)
Ketamine (NDMA receptor blocker)
Opiates (Mu receptor agonist)
100
Q

GABA-A anesthetics and MOA

A

Propofol
Etomidate
Benzodiazepines

Activates post-synaptic GABA-A receptor causing influx of chloride leading to hyperpolarization and reduction in nerve impulse transmission.

101
Q

NDMA anaesthetics and MOA

A

Ketamine

Antagonizes post-synaptic NDMA receptor (responsible for pain and awareness) which stops influx of sodium and calcium and stops eflux of potassium. Other Na/K pumps are still working in neuron which allows the propagation of other neural impulses (I.e. they are still responsive to commands).

102
Q

MOA of opiates

A

Attaches to (primarily) Mu receptor which blocks the influx of Ca in presynaptic neuron.

Also opens K channels on post-synaptic neurons causing hyperpolarization

103
Q

MOA of succinylcholine

A

Binds to post-synaptic nicotinic receptor which mimics the action of ACh and depolarizes cells. Not easily broken down by ACh-esterase therefore it prevents the neuron from depolarizing again.

104
Q

MOA of rocuronium

A

Blocks nicotinic ACh receptor from becoming depolarized
