Konorev Adrenergic Drugs Flashcards
adrenergic receptors can be divided what 2 was?
genetic analysis/separation and pharmacologically
alpha 1 receptor is associated with what kind of G protein?
Gq
what kind of G protein with alpha 2?
Gi
Gq activates what?
IP3 and MAPK pathways
terminally differentiated cells that have Gq stimulation results in what?
hypertrophy
beta receptors activate what?
AC
activation of which adrenergic receptor will increase levels of cAMP in tissue?
Beta1
which adrenergic receptor is found on most vascular smooth m.?
alpha1
activation of which adrenergic receptor will decrease levels of cAMP in target tissues?
D2 (dopamine 2)
how to indirect acting drugs change neurotransmission?
change level of concentration of norepinephrine (or dopamine) at target receptors
phenylephrine is mostly selective for what receptor?
alpha1
we need to know what to know the pharmacodynamics of an adrenergic drug?
where receptors are located and effects of receptor activation
what is tachyphylaxis?
accute (sudden) decrease in the response to a drug after its administration
epinephrine has what effect on cardiac function?
increase force of contraction (positive ionotropic effect), HR, increase conduction velocity at AV node, Beta 1 receptors
epinephrines effects on vascular tone varies because?
there are different types of receptors found in vascular beds:
skin/mucous membranes: alpha1
skeletal m.: alpha1 and beta2
renal, cerebral: D1 and alpha1
epinephrine effect on respiratory system?
relax bronchial m. (beta 2), decrease bronchial secretion and congestion within mucosa (alpha 1)
what does epinephrine cause in skeletal m.?
causes m. tremor (beta 2) — side effect!!
increases K+ uptake (beta 2)
increase in K+ uptake by skeletal m. can cause what systemically?
hypokalemia and decrease K excretion by kidneys
what does epinephrine do to fat cells?
increase free fatty levels in blood (Beta) due to increase lipolysis
how does epinephrine elevate blood sugar?
enhances liver glycogenolysis (beta 2) and
inhibits insulin release (alpha 2 and beta 2)
– decreases skeletal m. use of glucose as well.
