A

Edrophonium

18
Q

AChE Inhibitors can be used to treat _____ by restoring loss of function and not altering progression of the disease.

A

Alzheimer’s Disease

19
Q

Tacrine, donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine

A

AChE inhibitors

20
Q

Cholinergic Receptors:

  • agonist
  • as many as 12 sub-types
  • ligand-activated cation channels
A

Nicotinic

21
Q

Cholinergic Receptors:

  • agonist
  • 5 sub-types
  • G-protein coupled (7-TM)
A

Muscaranic

22
Q

_______ are the principle cholinergic receptor in skeletal muscle and autonomic ganglia (BOTH sympathetic and parasympathetic) and are ligand-gated cation channels

A

Nicotinic receptors

23
Q

Full agonist at Nicotinic Receptors and has both central and peripheral effects

A

Nicotine

24
Q 
• CNS stimulant 
- Arousal
- Increases mental performance
• Rewarding (activates DA system)
• Addictive
A

Nicotine Effects (central)

25
Q
  • Sympathomimetic (Increase BP and Heart Rate)

- Nicotine stimulates nicotinic receptors on adrenal medulla leading to epinephrine release

A

Nicotine Effects (periphery)

26
Q

– A partial agonist at central a4b2-nicotinic receptor

– Possesses 50% of the intrinsic activity of nicotine – Prevents the binding of nicotine

A

varenicline (Chantix)

27
Q

______ are the principle cholinergic receptor at autonomic ganglia (BOTH sympathetic and parasympathetic)

A

Nicotinic receptors

28
Q

Because ganglonic antagonists block ______ function, the effect of these drugs depends upon the dominant tone in the organ system.

A

BOTH parasympathetic and sympathetic

29
Q

Nicotinic Receptor Drugs: no longer of use for regulating autonomic functions (non specific)

A

NN (Ganglion)

30
Q

Nicotinic Receptor Drugs: effects at muscles useful for paralysis during surgery

A

NM (NMJ)

31
Q

Nicotinic Receptor Drugs: Smoking cessation, also promising advances with SELECTIVE ligands (i.e. Analgesia, Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia)

A

NN (Brain)

32
Q

Muscarinic receptors are localized to ________.

A

parasympathetic effectors

33
Q

________ are the principle cholinergic receptor in smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands.

A

Muscarinic receptors

34
Q

Muscarinic Agonist examples

A
  • Bethanechol (non-selective)
  • Cevimeline (M3)
  • Atropine (non-selective)
  • Ipratropium/tiotropium (M)
35
Q

Use of Cevimeline

A
  • Muscarinic agonist (mainly M3)
  • Parasympathetic stimulation increases salivation
  • Used in dentistry to treat severe Xerostomia (dry mouth)
36
Q

Side effects of Cevimeline

A

sweating, urination, stuffy nose, lacrimation, and abdominal pain

37
Q

Use of Atropine

A

Decrease respiratory secretions as an adjunct for anesthesia

38
Q

Effects of Atropine

A
  • **Secretion **– Potently inhibits glandular secretion –particularly salivation (can be used in dental setting)
  • Eye – Persistent mydriasis (dilation) lasts 7-14 days
  • GI – Can be used as anti-spasmodic to reduce GI motility.
  • Urinary – reduce hyper-motility states of the urinary bladder, occasionally used in children.
  • Cardiovascular – Bimodal. Low doses inhibit presynaptic M1 receptors and increase Ach leading to bradycardia. High doses block M2 in SA node and increases heart rate.
39
Q

Use and effects of Ipratropium/ tiotropium

A
  • Used as second-line therapy for asthma (first line Albuterol– b agonist)
  • Therapeutic effects are specific due to inhalational application
40
Q

_________ (i.e. Cevimeline) will stimulate salivation, however due to their side effects, muscarinic agonists are not widely used to treat this condition as there are satisfactory masticatory stimulants and artificial saliva products available OTC.

A

Muscarinic agonists

41
Q

Patients taking parasympathomimetics (e.g., post-operative GI problems or glaucoma) should never be treated with _______ to reduce the flow of saliva.

A

anti-cholinergic drugs
