A1 agonist
Increases CA+ causes muscle contraction
Phenylephrine
A2 agonist
Inhibits adenylate cyclase which limits exocytosis of norepinephrine, in the CNS produces sedation and reduced sympathetic outflow leading to peripheral dilation and decrease BP.
Clonadine
Beta 1 agonist
Activate adenylate cyclase➡️ATP to cAMP➡️positive chrono, ino, dromotrophic effects.
Beta 2 agonist
Activates adenylate cyclase and promotes smooth muscle relaxation, gluconeogenesis, and insulin release
Promotes:
Hyperglycemia, hypokalemia.
Alpha 1 Antagonist
Prazosin
Alpha 2 antagonist
Yohimbine, used to treat impotence
Beta antagonist
“OLOL”
A-M= beta 1
N-z= beta 2. ( with beta 2 blockade K+ levels increase)
What drug class inactivate acetylcholinesterase and plasma cholinesterase? Examples?
Cholinesterase inhibitors
Reversal agents
Cholinesterase inhibitor used to diagnose myasthenia gravis
Edrophonium, short acting, electrostatic bonds.
Give up to 10mg, if increased weakness it cholinergic crisis, if symptoms improve implies its myasthenia gravis.
Neostigmine and pyridiostigmine
Covalent bond, also direct agonist effect on nicotinic receptors
