SNS drugs Flashcards
where are andrenergic receptors found
- CNS and SNS
2. presynaptically on neuron or post-synaptically on effector organ
where do catecholamines come from
synthesized from tyrosine in sympathetic nerve endings
what are drugs that turn on SNS
- sympathicomimetics
2. a or B angonists
what are drugs that turn off SNS
- sympatholytics
2. a or B blockers
what are receptor types for each SNSr
a1 - Gq and i/o
a2 - Gi/o
B - Gs
tissues for a1
- vascular smooth muscle
- GU and GI smooth muscle
- heart
- liver
tissues for a2
- pancreatic B cells
- platelets
- nerve
- vascular smooth muscles
actions of a1 agonists
- vasoconstriction
- increased vascular resistance
- enlarged pupils
- sphincter closure
actions of a2 agonists
inhibit cAMP
- inhibits Ca channels , NE release, Ach release, insulin release
tissues for B1
- heart
2. juxtaglomerular cells
tissues for B2
- bronchi
- skeletal muscle
- liver
tissues for B3
- adipose
actions of B1 agonists
Gs > cAMP> opening of Ca channel - contractions
- tachycardia
- myocardial contraction
- lipolysis
- renin release
actions of B2 agonists
Gs > cAMP > PKA phosphoylate MLCK > inactive > relax
- vasodilation
- decrease peripheral resistance
- bronchodilation
- glycogenolysis
- release of glucagon
3 potential actions of sympathomimetics
- direct action - stim G receptor
- indirect - affect synthesis, storage, release of actitivy
- mixed
