Pharm, Dementia, Kinder Flashcards
What are the ACHEI approved for dementia
donepezil
galantamine
rivastigmine
Tacrine
adverse effects of ACHEI
diffuse
CV, GI, eye, respiratory, urinary, CNS, NMJ
groups of cholinesterase inhibitors
alcohols
carbamic acid esters
organophosphates
structure of alcohol cholinesterase
quaternary amonium
+ charged
like edrophonium
noncovalent short lied
structure of crbamic acid ester cholinesterase inhibitor
quaternary or tertiaty ammonium groups (+ or neutral)
stigmines
binding of carbamic ester acids
2 steps
organophosphate structure of cholinesterase inhibitors
charged neutral
highly lipid soluble resulting in CNS toxicity
covalent irreversible binding
PK of qauternary charged ACHEI
reslativley insoluble in lipids
pareneteral preferred
no CNS
PK tertiary uncharged ACHEI
well absorbed all sires, CNS distribution, more toxic than quaternary carbamates
what drugs used for dementia are tertiary and uncharged ACHEI
donepezil, tacrine, rivastigmine, galantamine
why are organophosphates dangerous
readily abosrbed everywhere
distributed all parts of body
toxic organosphosphate, how do we recover
need to make more ACHE
oxime regenerator compound
“aging” process
after intial binding of organophosphates the enzyme will break a bond of inhibitor and further strenghten the phosphorus enzyme bond
continued inhibition of ACHE in NMJ
depolarizing NMJ blockade to nondepolarizing blockade (like succinylcholine)
uses of aCHEI
glaucoma, postoperative atony of bladder or GI
NMJ
alzheimers
