MOA Flashcards
How do local anesthetics work?
wait until Na channel is activated and M gate opens up and allows lipophilic local anesthetic in and produced blockage of Na channel
can also come in during inactivated state
Diazepam
binds to inhibitory GABAa receptors and increases affinity for transmitter gaba then the transmitters open up allowing calcium in and hyperpolarizing neurons and decreasing CNS excitation
Clonidine
activates alpha 2 adrenergic receptors (AKA Mu opioid receptor) on C fiber terminals and reduces substance P release in dorsal horn and reduces pain transmission
How does clonidine work as an adjunct with LA?
combined with local anesthetic and stimulates alpha 2 receptors on termini which inhibits neurotransmitter release from fibers leading to pain attenuation
Benzocaine,
Procaine (Novocaine)
Block activated and inactivated states of the VGSC; use dependent blockade
Cocaine
Block activated and inactivated states of the VGSC; use dependent blockade
Lidocaine, Ropivacaine
Block activated and inactivated states of the VGSC; use dependent blockade
Epinephrine
Activate α1 adrenergic receptors on smooth muscle vasculature
Clonidine
Activate presynaptic α2 adrenergic receptors on C- and Adelta fibers; prevents neurotransmitter release
Diazepam (Valium)
Activate GABA-A receptors in CNS
Terodotoxin (TTX)
Binds to outer pore of Na channel and blocks Na entery by steric hinderance
Binds regardless to state the Na channel is in
Nitrous Oxide
Inhibit Kainate and NMDA receptors
Isoflurane
Potentiate GABA(A)R
Sevoflurane
Potentiate GABA(A)R
Propofol
Potentiate GABA(A)R
Etomidate
Potentiate GABA(A)R
Ketamine
Inhibits NMDA receptor
Sodium Thiopental
Potentiate GABA(A)R
↑ length of time Cl- channels remain open
Benzodiazepines
↑ affinity of GABA for GABA(A)r
