Pharm Lectures 1-4 Flashcards
OATP
organic anion transporting proteins facilitate absorption of some drugs
p-glycoprotein
actively remove drugs from epithelial cells and prevent absorption. essential mechanism to prevent toxin absorption
propranolol
Beta blockere
Muscarinic
acetylcholine receptor at neauroeffector junctions
nicotinic
acetylcholine receptor at all autonomic ganglia and somatic neuromuscular junctions - leads to contraction of skeletal muscle -at ALL autonomic ganglia- leads to postganglionic release of neurotransmitters at Neuroeffector junctions
M1
CNS and autonomic ganglia
M2
cardiac muscle
M3
smooth muscle and glandular tissue
M4 and M5
CNS
Ach Response - Heart SA node
bradycardia
Ach response-Heart AV node
slow conduction
Ach response-blood vessels
vasodilation
Ach response - GI tract
increased tone and secretions sphincters relax
Ach response Eye (Iris)
Miosis (contraction)
Ach response eye (ciliary muscle)
accomodation (contraction)
Ach response - urinary bladder
detrusor muscle contracts, sphincter relaxes
ach response- lungs
bronchi contract, increase in secretions
ach response - exocrine glands
increase in tears, sweat, saliva
ach response - ganglia (high doses)
sympathetic and parasympathertic responses
ach response - adrenal medulla
release of epinephrine and norepinephrine
ach response - skeletal muscle
depolarization of end plate
acetylcholine
-direct acting agent choline ester no therapeutic use, nonselective and short duration
methacholine
-direct acting choline ester agonist -muscarinic and longer duration
carbachol
-direct acting choline ester agonist -predominately nicotinic -topical agent for glaucoma
bethanechol
-direct acting choline ester agonist -predominately muscarinic - used to stimulate bladder of intestinal tract without having cardiac effects
muscarine
-direct acting plant alkalpid agonist -from poisonous mushroom
nicotine
-direct acting plant alkaloid agonist -from tobacco -oral, nasal, or transdermal product to assist in smoking cessation
pilocarpine
-direct acting plant alkaloid agonist -predominately muscarinic -topical agent for glaucoma and oral agent for xerostomia (dry mouth)
cevimeline (evoxac)
-new synthetic direct agonist for xerostomia and dry eyes indicated after radiation treatment or for patients with Sjogren’s syndrome
neostigmine
-reversible cholinesterase inhibitor -quaternary amine - poor penetration of CNS -can be used to treat myasthenia gravis
Edrophonium (Tensilon)
-reversible cholinesterase inhibitor -neostigmine analog with shorter duration -used to diagnose Myasthenia gravis
physostigmine
-reversible cholinesterase inhibitor -alkaloid from alabar bean -tertiary amine - can penetrate CNS -can be used to treat myasthenia gravis
Myasthenia gravis
-autoimmune disease producing antibodies against nicotinic receptors in skeletal muscle–>severe muscle weakness -edrophonium used to diagnose it and neostigmine and pyridostigmine are used for treatment
Alzheimers Disease (Drugs)
- can use reversible cholinesterase Donepezil (aricept) - once daily -Galantamine (Rizatidine) -Rivastigmine (Exelon)
Organophosphate Muscarinic effect
-bradycardia -hypotension -salivation -sweating -lacrimation miosis
Organophosphate nicotinic effects
-muscle fibrillation, fasciculations, paralysis
