Nuromuscular Blocking Drugs
Used W/
2 ex of drugs for skeletal muscle
- Used w/ anesthesia during surgery as a paralyzing agent
- 2 types for skeletal muscle
- Succinylcholine
- Depolarizing NMJ Blockers
- Curare-like
- Nondepolarizng competetive blockers
- Look for CURare in name
- (PanCURonium, D-tubocurarine)
- Succinylcholine
Dantrolene
MoA 2
Used for
- Relaxes skeletal muscle w/o acting on NMJ
- Blocks Ca release from ER
- Used for prophylaxis from malignant hyperthemia
Botox
Type of drug
MoA
- Neuromuscular blocking drug
- Blocks release of synaptic vesicles (ACh)
Nicotinic AChR Agonist
2 drugs
- Nicotine
- Varenicline
- Partial agonist at neuronal nAChR w/ higher affinity than nicotine
Muscarinic ACh Receptors
What type of receptor
Found
subtypes
Blocked by
- GPCR
- Found mainly at postganglionic parasympathetic synapses
- Heart, smooth muscle, glands
- Several diff subtypes
- M1-M5
- All blocked by atropine
Muscarinic ACh Receptor Antagonists
4 ex and what it tx
- Ipratropium (Atrovent)
- Dilate bronchial smooth muscle
- Scopolamine
- Motion sickness
- Tolterodine (Detrol)
- Overactive bladder
- Tropicamide
- Dilate pupils (smooth muscle antagonist)
- Called mydriasis(dilation of pupil)
