Neurotransmitter receptors & pharmacology Flashcards
Name 2 cholinergic receptors
Nicotinic
Muscarinic
Where do M2 receptors appear?
Parasympathetic postganglionic
What are some effects of M2 activation?
Vasodilation (flush) DIlation of pupil Decrease salivation Decreased perspiration Hallucinations
Acetylcholine is a physiological agonist. Is it selective or non-selective?
Non-selective
Name a nicotinic ganglionic antagonist (Ng)?
Hexamethonium
Name a nicotinic neuromuscular depolarizing blocker (Nm)
Decamethonium
Succinylcholine
What is the lock and key model of neurotransmitters?
Agonist binding to receptor causes conformational shift of receptor
How do antagonists bind to inhibit receptors?
Antagonists have similar structure to agonist but do not induce necessary conformation changes
What receptor is Gs/cAMP linked to?
B-adrenergic
What receptor is Gi/cAMP linked to?
M2 Muscarinic
What receptor is Gq/IP3/DAG linked to?
alpha1-adrenergic
What receptor is Gq/NO/cGMP linked to?
H1 histaminergic
Which receptors are linked to tyorsine kinase receptors?
Dopamine, NMDA
What occurs when there are multiple receptor sites at a single synpase during polarized conditions?
Presynaptic M2 receptors have a high affinity for Ach and occupied receptors are linked to synaptic vesicles to reduce exocytosis. Postaynaptic nicotinic receptors are unoccupied and closed
What occurs when there are multiple receptor sites at a single synapse during depolarized conditions?
Presynaptic M2 receptors have a low affinity for Ach. Ach dissociates from vesicles. VOltage-gated Ca2+ channels open and allow vesicle fusion & exocytosis
