Q

What causes calcium entry into a cell?

A

Increased cAMP activated a cAMP dependant protein kinase (PK-A) that phosphorylates L type calcium channels, which cause increased calcium entry into the cell

Q

What does in increase of calcium entry lead to?

A

Leads to enhanced release of calcium by the sarcoplastic reticulum in the heart, these actions increase inotropy (contractility)

Q

What does phosphorylation of myosin light chain result in?

A

May contribute to the positive inotropic effect of beta adrenoreceptor stimulation

36
Q

What do beta blockers cause a decrease in?

A
  • Heart rate
  • Contractility
  • Conduction velocity
  • Relaxation rate
37
Q

When do beta blockers have an even greater effect?

A

When there is elevated sympathetic activity

38
Q

What causes activation of beta 2 adrenoreceptors on vascular smooth muscle?

A

Noradrenaline from sympathetic adrenergic nerves

39
Q

What does an increase in cAMP in vascular smooth muscle lead to?

A

Smooth muscle relaxation beacuse cAMP inhibits myosin light chain kinase that is responsible for phosphotylating smooth muscle myosin

40
Q

What is blockage of beta 2 adrenoreceptors associated with?

A

A small degree of vasonctrsiction in many vascular beds

41
Q

What does stimulation of beta 2 receptors cause?

A

Smooth muscle relaxtation

42
Q

What is the effect of beta 2 receptors on bronchial smooth muscle?

A

Bronchodilation

43
Q

What is the effect of beta 2 receptors on uterine muscle?

A

Uterine relaxation (tocolysis)

44
Q

What is contraindicated in patients who have astma?

A

Beta 1 adrenergic receptors

45
Q

What has clinical benifits, particularly in asthma?

A

Mimicking the action of noradrenaline and adrenaline at beta 2 receptors

46
Q

Why should beta 2 target engagement be avoided?

A

Causes smooth muscle contraction in asthmatics - bronchoconstriction

47
Q

How does beta 1 target engagement affect blood pressure?

A

Causes reduced heart rate/ blood vessel dilation, so reduced heart failure and reduced blood pressure

48
Q

How does beta 1 adrenergic receptor have its affect?

A
  • Agonist (adrenaline/ noradrenaline) binds to its GPCR and induced a conformational change that is transmitted through the 7TM helical domain from outside the membrane to inside
  • coupled G-protein complex bound to it on the internal face of the membrane exchanges GDP for GTP
  • Gα-protein decouples from the Gβγ subunit and interacts with target functional proteins to initiate cellular signalling

What can propanolol not be used in patients with asthma?

A

It is a non selective beta blocker. It isnt selective for beta 1 over beta 2.

72
Q

What side effects does propanalol have?

A

CNS side effects - dizziness, nightmares and sedation

73
Q

How can beta blockers be improved?

A
  • Improve selectivity: find interactions with beta 1 receptors that are absent in beta 2
  • Reduce CNS side effects by reducing lipophilicity to lower penetration through the blood-brain barrier
73
Q

A
  • Improve selectivity: find interactions with beta 1 receptors that are absent in beta 2
  • Reduce CNS side effects by reducing lipophilicity to lower penetration through the blood-brain barrier
74
Q

How do you get from propanalol to practolol?

A

Removing the naphyl ring and replacement with a H-bonding amide group

75
Q

What did the change from propanalol to practolol lead to?

A
  • Reduced logP
  • Has an H-bonding interaction in the β1 receptor that was absent in β2
76
Q

Why was practolol withdrawn?

A

Because of serious off-target side effects in small numbers of patients eg peritonitis, liver damage

76
Q

Why was practolol withdrawn?

A

Because of serious off-target side effects in small numbers of patients eg peritonitis, liver damage

77
Q

How were atenolol and metoprolol developed?

A

Replacement of the acetamido group with other H-bonding groups by separating the amide from the aromatic ring

78
Q

What is the most β1-selective β–blockers clinically available

A

Bisoprolol

79
Q

Can patients with asthma have bisporolol

80
Q

What is the oral absorption of atenolol?

81
Q

What is the oral absorption of propanolol?

82
Q

What is the CNS penetration of atenolol?

A

83
Q

What is the CNS penetration of propanlol?

A
