SAS 9 - CHOLINERGIC ANTAGONIST Flashcards
What are “the” antinicotinic drugs?
Ganglion blockers and Neuromuscular junction blockers
Anti-muscarinic drugs is also known as
parasympatholytic
Why is anti-muscarinic drug is also called as parasympatholytic?
because it has the capability to inhibit the effect of parasympathetic autonomic discharge.
At what plant do Atropine can be found?
Atropa belladonna (deadly night shade), Datura stramonium (Jamestown weed, and Sacred Datura,thorn apple)
What is the generic name of the Atropine?
hyoscyamine
At what plant do scopolamine is found?
Hyoscyamus niger or herbane (its l-stereoisomer)
what is the l-stereoisomer of the hyoscyamus niger?
herbane
At what number is the l-stereoisomer alkaloids more potent than d-stereoisomer?
100x
How will it take for the atropine to be distributed in CNS?
30mins - 1 hour
How long will it take for a fast-acting formulation of atropine to take?
2 hours
How long will it take for a long-acting formulation of atropine to take?
13 hours
It is the eye that is longer to be affected by alkaloids, how many hours does it last?
72 hours or more
What is the MOA of Atropine?
It blocks the cholinomimetic actions of muscarinic receptors
What is the effect of cholinergic antagonists for muscarinic receptors?
prevents the release of IP3 and inhibition of adenylyl cyclase
Where is the most sensitive tissue that is affected by antimuscarinic drugs? SSB
Salivary glands, sweat glands, bronchial
Atropine has little to CNS but at high doses of scopolamine it can cause…
Excitability, irritability, hallucinations, and coma
a drug that has fewer adverse effects than atropine in lessening digestion
telenzepine
a muscarinic receptor that is found in the CNS neurons, sympathetic postganglionic cell bodies, and many presynaptic sites
M1
a muscarinic receptor that is found in the myocardium, smooth muscle organs, and
some neuronal sites
M2
a muscarinic receptor that is found in the effector cell membranes, especially
glandular and smooth muscle cells.
M3
