Term
Acetylcholine
Definition

Agonist for all muscarinic receptors (M1, M2, M3) and for all nicotinic receptors (NN, NM)

 

This is an acetic acid ester and so it is susceptible to AChE.

 

This does not have B-methyl group so it is active at nicotinic receptors.

 

Quaternary amine with positive charge, poor lipid solubility, doesn't absorb well or get to CNS

Term
Botulinum Toxin
Definition
Anatagonist for all realease of ACh. Cleaves synaptobrevin, which is a V-SNAP protien, preventing any ACh filled vessicle from getting out into the sympase. Result is antagonist of all muscarinic (M1, M2, M3) and nicotinic (NN, NM) receptors
Term
Atropine
Definition

Antagonist to all muscarinic receptors (M1, M2, M3)

 

Terteriay amine, so it aborbs wel, can get into CNS

 

Not a target for AChE

 

Removed by kindeys

Term
Bethanechol
Definition

Agonist to all muscarinic rececptors (M1, M2, M3)

 

This is a carbamic acid ester, so it is negligibly susceptible to AChE

 

The B-methyl group makes it less active at nicotinic receptors.

Term
Where are M1 receptors found?
Definition
On nerves.
Term
Where are M2 receptors found?
Definition

HEART! Nerves, smooth muscle

 

(Also some skeletal muscles have M2 receptors that are activated by the sympathetic nervous system, leading to dilation of blood vessels there)

Term
Where are M3 receptors found?
Definition

Glands, smooth muscle, epithelium (though there is no parasympathetic innervation to the M3 receptors in the epithelial cells!)

 

(Sphincter muscle of the pupil, ciliary muscle of the eye, bronchiole smooth muscle, bronciole glands, detrusor muscle of the urinary bladder, salivary glands, smooth muscle of intestines, smooth muscle of the stomach)

 

Of note: The M3 receptors in the internal sphincter of the urinary bladder leads to relaxation of the muscle there, instead of the usual contraction!)

 

Also, some skeletal muscle vessels might have M3 receptors that respond to sympathetic innervation...

Term
Where are A1 receptors found?
Definition

Smooth muscles of the vessels and prostate

 

(radial muscle of pupil, internal sphincter of the urinary bladder, smooth muscle of arteries and veins)

Term
Where are A2 receptors found?
Definition

Presynaptic sites, smooth muscle, platelets, fat cells

 

(Presynaptic sites as modifiers of parasympathetic output (decrease it!))

Term
Where are B1 receptors found?
Definition
Cardiac muscle (Ventricles, atria, SA node, AV node, perkinje fibers)
Term
Where are B2 receptors found?
Definition

Smooth and Cardiac muscles

(Atria, Ventricles, SA node, AV Node, Perkinje fibers, urinary bladder detrusor muscle)

 

(Also bronchiole smooth muscles, but there is not really sympathetic innervation here. They more respond to epinephrine put out by the adrenal medulla)

 

Remember B2 doesn't realyl respond to norepinephrine.

Term
Where are B3 receptors found?
Definition

Smooth muscle, brown adipose tissue

 

(Detrusor muscle of the urinary bladder)

Term
As a general rule, what does M3 stimulation cause?
Definition

Smooth muscle contraction (Gq protein leads to more DAG and IP3, which make more calcium available for contraction)

 

Exception: Internal Sphincter of the Urinary Bladder

Term
As a general rule, what does A1 stimulation cause?
Definition
Smooth muscle contraction (Gq protein leads to more DAG and IP3, which make more calcium available for contraction)
Term
As a general rule, what does B receptor stimulation cause?
Definition
Smooth muscle relaxation (Gs protein leads to more cAMP and more PKA which stimulates the pump that brings calcium into the SR and makes less calcium available for contraction)
Term
How does B1/B2 stimulation lead to increased contractility of cardiac muscle?
Definition

Beta receptors are coupled with the Gs protien, which makes for more cAMP and more PKA. More PKA leads to more phosphorlation of calcium channels to let more calcium into the cells, and more phosphorlation of phospholambin which increases calcium uptake into the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

 

(Important to remember that cardiac muscle, unlike smooth muscle, has a calcium input from the outside. More calcium coming in!)

Term
How does M2 stimulation lead to decreased cardiac muscle contractility?
Definition

M2 receptors use Gi protiens. This means there is less cAMP, less PKA and thus less inward calcium current.

 

Also: Gi leads to increased K+ influx during repolarization. This shorted the plateau phase of the ventricular action potential, which means there is less time for calcium to rush in, and so there is less Ca2+ for contraction

Term
How does sympathetic stimulation affect heart rate? (mechanism)
Definition
B1/B2 receptors are Gq protien coupled. There is more PKA activity, which increases the sodium current inward, allowing the SA node to reach threshold more quickly.
Term
How does parasympathetic stimulation affect heart rate? (mechanism)
Definition

M2 receptors are Gi protien coupled. This means there is less PKA, less sodium current influx and so it takes longer to reach threshold and get a AP.

 

Also, Gi protiens lead to increased K+ in current upon repolarization, which sets the membrane potnetial even further from threshold (takes more Na+ influx to reach threshold, so it takes longer...)

Term
Methacholine
Definition

Agonist for muscarinic receptors (M1, M2, M3)

 

This is an acetic acid ester, so it is susceptible to AChE.

Term
Carbachol
Definition

Agonist for muscarinic receptors (M1, M2, M3)

Term
Pilocarpine

Agonist of muscarinic receptors.

 

Alkaloid, from a mushroom poison, not used clincally.

Term
Scoplamine
Definition

Antagonist for Muscarinic Receptors

Readily absorbs across membranes.

 

Used in patch forms to treat motion sickness

Term
Dicyclomine
Definition

Antagonist for muscarinic receptors

 

Atropine derivative

 

Used specifically to treat intestinal hyper-motility (diarrhea) through muscarinic receptors and other secret affects on smooth muscle, not yet well understood.

Term
Ipratropium
Definition

Anatgonist for muscarininc receptors

 

Atropine derivative.

Used to treat COPD/Asthma. Delivered locally by inhaler.

 

Charged quarternary amine, so it does nto absorb out of the respiratory system well, and does not get into the CNS. This makes for fewer side effects.

Term
Tiotropium
Definition

Anatgonist for muscarininc receptors

 

Atropine derivative.

Used to treat COPD/Asthma. Delivered locally by inhaler.

 

Charged quarternary amine, so it does not absorb out of the respiratory system well, and does not get into the CNS. This makes for fewer side effects.

 

Plus: Reduced effects at M2 receptors (so there is no ACh release caused because previously released ACh can get to the M2 receptor to reduce the further release)

 

Long half-life, so you only have to take it once-a-day

Mirabegron
Definition

Unique! B3 adrenergic agonist.

 

Used to treat urinary bladder incontinence!
