  • oxime group has ^ affinity for the phosphorous
  • tx patient with organophosphate poisoning
  • does not enterCNS
  • acts on both N and M receptors
  • sideeffect: muscle weakness
  • no effect after “aging”
20
Q

aged organophosphate- AchE complex

A

strong irreversible covalent bond is formed

21
Q

use of antimuscarinic drugs

A
  1. motion sickness (diarrihea)
  2. post-op urinary spam
  3. parkinsons disease
  4. antidote for parathion poisoning
    other muscarinic functions
22
Q

side effect of antimuscarinic drugs (state 8)

A
  1. xerostomia
  2. constipation
  3. urinary retention
  4. mydrasis
  5. percipitation glaucoma
  6. decrease sweating
  7. tachycardia
  8. hyperventilation and dec respiratory secretions
23
Q

to block muscarinic action of following organs which receptors would you traget:

  1. CNS
  2. exocrine glands
  3. GIT
  4. Respiratory system
  5. eyes
  6. CVS
  7. Smooth muscles
  8. GUT
A
  1. several M receptors and effect depends on the dose
  2. M3, (M2)
  3. M1, M3( not sure)
  4. Nonselective
  5. M3
  6. M2
  7. (M2), M3

24
Q

featues of Atropine

A
  1. atropa belladona
  2. non selective competetive antagonist atM receptors
  3. tertiary amine
  4. distributed in CNS and other organs
  5. acts only on muscarinic ( hence cant inhibit muscle skeletal mucle contraction[N] cause with ^ Ach )
  6. excreted unchaged in urine
  7. t1/2= 2hr, active = 4-8hr
  8. in eye active for72hr
25
