Q

clonidine (catapres) is a —

A

⍺2 adrenergic agonist → causes hypotension

rebound effect of a1 agonists

A

nasal spray

chronic use of a1 agonist, will cause decrease in a1 receptors. if you stop drug quickly, normal amount of NE will be released but there is now lower # of a1 receptors. This leads to leaky vessels and nasal congestion

25
Q

why dont ‘Indirectly acting’ sympathomimetics induce release of EPI from Adrenal gland?

A

indirectly acting symoathomimetics need to be transported into the cell by receptor: they then increase NE release

adrenal gland chromaddin cells do not have a way to reuptake EPI

tyramine and amphetamines are indirectly acting sympathomimetics that cause release of NE in nerve

can not be used to make meth!

33
Q

what does guanethidine do?

A

decreases NE release from nerve terminal

guanethidine accumulates and replaces NE in vesicle

High doses cause TRIPHASIC effect
(1) Transient hypertension due to displaced NE
(2) Drop in BP due to decrease NE release
(3) Progressive drop in BP and cardiac output
used an an anti-hypertensive

GuaNEthidine prevents NE (norepinephrine) release

34
Q

bretylium

A

blocks transmitted release by stopping release of NE vesicles

different from guanethidine which accumulates and replaces NE in vesicle

No BBB cross
no affect on EPI release form adrenal medulla cause it needs plasma membrane transporter to get into nerve

35
Q

clonidine

A

a2 agonist

binds to a2 on presynaptic nerve, which stops NE release

36
Q

reserpine

A

Blocks the uptake of DA and NE into synaptic vesicles by VMAT

Does not require transporter to enter cells

may also cause lower EPI in adrenal gland

long acting tranquilizer in horses

37
Q

— blocks DA and NE uptake by VMAT into vesicles and does not need transporter to get into cells

A

reserpine

leads to decreased NE, cause cytoplasmic NE will get broken down by MAO

can also decrease EPI in adrenal gland

38
Q

⍺-methyl-DOPA

A

false transmitter

gets into cell without transporter

cell thinks it is a normal DOPA and turns it into a-methyl-NE and released in the vesicle with normal NE

a-methyl-NE will not bind as strongly to a1 but will also bind to a2 autoreceptors→ decreases release of NE from the cell

a-methyl-dopa will use up the enzymes that usually make NE, will lead to smaller amount of NE released

39
Q

— is a false transmitter release

A

α−methyl-DOPA

gets into cell without transporter

cell thinks it is a normal DOPA and turns it into a-methyl-NE and released in the vesicle with normal NE → a-methyl-dopa will use up the enzymes that usually make NE, will lead to smaller amount of NE released

a-methyl-NE will not bind as strongly to a1 but will also bind to a2 autoreceptors→ decreases release of NE from the cell

40
Q

what are two things that block NE synthesis in the cell

A

α-CH3-p-tyrosine

NE at high doses

41
Q

— inhibits tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme

A

α-CH3-p-tyrosine

42
Q

— are MAO inhibitors

A

pargyline
moclobemide

Used as antidepressant. It blocks degradation of DA and Serotonin in CNS too

43
Q

what is cheese syndrome

A

thyramine is found in cheese and wine, is usually degraded by MAO

if you use antidepressents like pargyline and moclobemide which inhibit MAO, can lead to build up of thyramine

can lead to hypertensive crisis

44
Q

5 uses of a- adrenergic receptor blockage

A

hypertension: decreased a1 vasoconstiction leads to decreased peripheral resistance

CHF: lower arterial pressure improved CO

peripheral vascular disease (raynauds)

benign prostatic hyperplasia: decreases tone of prostate and urethral sphincter allows urinartion

shock: decrease shock mediated vasoconstriction to increase organ perfusion and fluid replacement

45

phenoxybenzamine

46
Q

phenoxybenzamine and
dibenamine are — and work —

A

irreversible ⍺ receptor blockers

will bind nonselectively to a1 and a2 and break receptors

will need to wait for body to make new a1 or a2 receptors

47
Q

— is a reversible ⍺ receptor blocker

A

phentolamine (regitin)

48
Q

how does phentolamine (regitin) work

A

reversible ⍺ receptor blocker

a1=a2

if you block a2 autoreceptor that causes increased release of NE, which will trigger B1 in the heart and can lead to tachycardia

49
Q

prazosin (minipress)

A

selective ⍺1 blocker

a1»a2
will block a1= decrease BP

does not affect a2 at low dose so no extra release of NE and no tachycardia (this is what happens with reversible ⍺ receptor blocker, phentolamine (regitin)

50

A

selective ⍺1 blocker

works on α1A- in urinary tract

51
Q

yohumbine

A

selective ⍺2 blocker
(only 40:1 a2>a1= high spill over)

will block a2 which causes increase of NE relased

this leads to increased HR and vasocontraction down stream

A

xylazine-induced sedation

yohimbine is a ⍺2 blocker
xylazine is a ⍺2 agonist

53

reflexive trachycardia
* a2 block will increase NE and cause tachycardia through B1

nasal stuffiness
* Block sympathetic tone on vessels in the nose leasing to increased in fluid leakage

A

non-selective B blocker

57
Q

A

B blocker

nonselective B1=B2
less membrane stabilization

used for wide angle glaucoma

59

side effects of B blocker

A

cardiac failure: in CHF patients
