Q

What is the mechanism of action for albuterol, metaproterenol, terbutaline, Salmeterol, and formoterol?

A

They are all Beta 2 agonists.

23
Q

What is the primary clinical use for albuterol, metaproterenol, and terbutaline?

A

They are used for prompt onset for acute bronchospasm.

24
Q

What are the adverse effects of the selective beta 2 agonists?

A

(1) tachycardia

(2) tremor.

25
Q

What are clinical uses for salmeterol, and formoterol?

A

Salmeterol, and formoterol are not useful in acute bronchospasm. They are used only with corticosteroids for prophylaxis. Slow onset, long action.

26
Q

What are the three classes of indirect acting symphathomimetics?

A

(1) Phenylisopropylamines
(2) cocaine
(3) Tyramine

27
Q

What class of drugs do amphetamine, methamphetamine, and ephedrine belong to and what is their mechanism of action?

A

They are phenylisopropylamines. The MOA is that they displace stored catecholamines.

28
Q

What are the clinical uses for Amphetamine and methamphetamine?

A

(1) narcolepsy
(2) anorexiant
(3) ADHD

29
Q

What are the adverse effects associated with Amphetamine and methamphetamine?

A

(1) High addiction liability
(2) Paranoia
(3) aggression
(4) insomnia
(5) Hypertension

30
Q

What are the clinical uses for ephedrine?

A

(1) narcolepsy
(2) idiopathic postural hypotension
(3) enuresis
Lower addiction liability than amphetamines

31
Q

What is the mechanism of action for Cocaine?

A

Cocaine blocks norepinephrine and dopamine re-uptake

32
Q

What are the clinical uses for cocaine?

A

(1) local anesthetic

(2) intrinsic hemostatic action

33
Q

What are the adverse effects associated with cocaine?

A

(1) very high addiction liability
(2) Hypertension
(3) arrythmias
(4) siezures. (common with overdose)

34
Q

What is the mechanism of action for tyramine?

A

Tyramine displaces stored catecholamines

35
Q

What are the clinical uses for tyramine?

A

No clinical uses but found in fermented foods

36
Q

How is tyramine metabolized?

A

Usually has a high first pass effect however in those taking MAO inhibitors it is absrobed.

37
Q

What are the adverse effects associated with tyramine?

A

(1) hypertension
(2) arrythmias
(3) stroke
(4) MI

38
Q

What effect can MAO and COMT inhibitors have on symphathomimetics?

A

They will increase the intracellular stores of catecholamines and may therefore potentiate the action of catecholamine releasers.

39
Q

Amphetamines have what unique pharmacokinetic property?

A

amphetamines are resistant to MAO.

40
Q

Where are alpha 1 receptors found?

A

(1) vascular smooth muscle (contraction)
(2) eye (contraction of pupillary dilator and pilomotor smooth muscle)
(3) Liver (stimulate glycogenolysis)

41
Q

Where are alpha 2 receptors found?

A

(1) Nerve terminals (inhibits transmitters)
(2) Platelets (stimulate aggregation)
(3) Some vascular smooth muscle (contraction)
(4) fat cells (inhibits lipolysis)
(5) pancreatic beta cells (inhibits insulin release)

42
Q

Where are Beta 1 receptors found?

A

(1) heart ( increases HR and contractility)

2) Juxtaglomerular cells (stimulates renin

43
Q

Where are beta 2 receptors found?

A

(1) Airway, uterine, and vascular smooth muscle (relaxes)
(2) Liver (stimulates glycogenolysis)
(3) pancreatic beta cells (stimulates insulin release
(4) somatic motor neuron terminals (causes tremor)
(5) Heart (stimulates rate and force)

44
Q

Where are beta 3 receptors found?

A

(1) fat cells (stimulates lipolysis)

45
Q

Where are D1 receptors found?

A

renal and splanchnic blood vessels (dilates)

46
Q

Where are D2 receptors found?

A

Nerve terminals (inhibits adenylyl cyclase.)

47
Q

What kind of drug is clonidine?

A

Clonidine is an alpha 2 agonist

48
Q

What are the effects of the alpha 2 agonists like clonidine?

A

(1) vasoconstriction when taken IV

(2) reduced sympathetic outflow and blood pressure when given orally.

49
Q

What are the effects of beta agonists on the heart?

A

They increase rate and contractility. The direct effect overcomes the baroreceptor reflex from the increased pressure.

50
Q

What are the effects on the heart of the pure alpha agonists?

A

They usually slow the heart rate because of the baroreceptor reflex.

51
Q

What class of drug is tetrahydrozoline?

A

Tetrahydrozoline is an alpha agonist use to produce mydriasis.

52
Q

What class of drugs do apraclonidine and brimonidine belong to?

A

They are alpha 2 agonists that are used for glaucoma

53
Q

What is midrodine?

A

Midrodine is an alpha 1 agonist that is used for orthostatic hypertension.
