9 questions for this shiiiii??
a1 pathway
mobilize Ca2+; activate PKC
Gq
location –> vascular smooth muscle, adipose tissue, and CNS
a2 pathway
inhibit adenyl cyclase, reduce cAMP-dependent PKa, active K+ channels
location –> CNS and adipose tissue
Gi
B1 pathway
location –> cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, CNS, and adipose tissue
Gs
B2 pathway
location –> cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, vascular smooth muscles, bronchial smooth muscles, liver, and CNS
Gs
B2 pathway
location –> bladder
Gs
function of B pathways
activate adenyl cyclase
increase cAMP-dependent leading to PK activation
M1 pathway
Gq
mobilize Ca2+, activate PKC (same as a1)
M2 pathway
Gi
inhibit adenyl cyclase, decrease cAMP dependent PKA, activate K+ channel
location –> heart/lungs
M3 pathway
Gs
mobilize Ca2+ and activate PKC
location –> smooth muscle and exocrine glands
methacholine
B-methylation –> prevents ester hydrolysis and more selective for M receptors
USE –> provocative test for hyperreactive airways (asthma diagnosis)
DIRECT acting
carbachol
alpha carbamate effects –> mimics the effect of ACh at both N/M receptors
USE –> reduce intraocular pressure to treat glaucoma during surgery
DIRECT acting
bethanechol
B-methylation effect –> more selective for M receptors
Alpha carbamate effect –> mimic the effects of ACh
USE –> GI stimulation or treatment of urinary incontinence
DIRECT acting
pilocarpine
on M3 receptors
USE –> hypofunction of salivary glands (conditions: dry mouth and Sjogren’s syndrome) and Glaucoma (increase output)
PSNS effects
Diarrhea
urination
miosis (constriction of pupil)
bradycardia
bronchoconstriction
emesis (vomiting)
lacrimation (secretion of tears)
salivation
sweating
DUMBBELSS
Edrophonium (Tensilon)
USE –> diagnosis of myasthenia gravis (MG)
INDIRECT reversible agonists
physostigmine (antilirium)
USE –> antidote to antimuscarinic poisoning
can cross BBB
INDIRECT reversible agonist
neostigmine (prostigmin)
USE –> treatment of MG, reversal of nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockade, and post-operative urinary retention
INDIRECT reversible agonist
Pyridostigmine (Mestinon)
USE –> treatment of MG, reversal of nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockade, and pre-treatment for potential nerve gas exposure
INDIRECT reversible agonist
Donepezil (Aricpet)
USE –> Alzheimer’s disease to enhance cognitive ability (not slow progression)
INDIRECT reversible agonist
Echothiophate
USE –> glaucoma (increase ACh, enhance M activation, secretion of aqueous humor)
INDIRECT irreversible agonist
Sarin
USE –> nerve gas in chemical warfare
INDIRECT irreversible agonist
Malathion
USE –> insecticide and treat head lice
INDIRECT irreversible agonist
Pralidoxime Chloride
USE –> antidote for AChE poisoning (if inhaled pesticide/nerve gas)
INDIRECT irreversible agonist
Must combine with atropine to cross BBB
CI to PSNS drugs
asthma and COPD (increase bronchoconstriction)
coronary deficiency (lower HR)
PUD (increase acid secretion)
obstruction of urinary tract
epilepsy
Rivastigmine/Galantamine
USE –> Alzheimer’s disease (but loses effectiveness as disease progresses)
reversible AChE inhibitor
Memantine
USE –> moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease
NMDA receptor antagonist
atropine
USE –> hallucinogen
antimuscarinic agent at all receptors
