Cards

Term
albuterol
Definition
β agonist, bronchodilator,
Term
amphetamine
Definition
lipophilic (CNS) alter, release of fatigue, enhanced performance, euphoria
Term
atenolol
Definition
β 1 selective, partial agonist
Term
atomoxetine
Definition
(like cocaine) inhibit NET , CNS effects (ADHD)
Term
carvedilol
Definition
mixed α / β antagonists, higher β : α ratio than labetolol , anti-oxidant activity
Term
cocaine
Definition
produce convulsions, cerebral hemorrhage, arrhythmias or MI, (inhibits NET)
Term
clonidine
Definition
α2 agonist, hypertension, CNS acting (↓ sympathetic tone via NTS receptors)
Term
dextroamphetamine
Definition
lipophilic (CNS) alter, release of fatigue, enhanced performance, euphoria, less peripheral side effects & tolerance (tachyphylaxis) develops quickly
Term
dobutamine
Definition
β 1 , (lesser extent α 1), inactive on dopamine receptors
Term
doxazosin
Definition
selective α antagonist
Term
ephedrine
Definition
natural, congener (same family) of amphetmaine, releases NE, long duration (not metabolized by MAO), non- α β selective, bronchodilation, vasodilation, ↑ heart rate, modest CNS stimulation (not very lipophilic)
Term
epinephrine
Definition
same affinity for all receptors, α & β agonist , little CNS, ↑ blood glucose, ↑ glycogenolysis, ↑ gluconeogenesis, ↑ free fatty acids, stimulation of triglyceride lipase, ↓ insulin secretion
Term
guanabenz
Definition
α 2 agonist, anti-hypertensive b/c of ↓ sympathetic tone via receptors in the NTS brainstem (reflex)
Term
guanethidine
Definition
supress α & β effects (↓ sympathetic tone): hypotenison, bradycardia, ↓ cardiac output, treats hypertension
Term
guanfacine
Definition
α 2 agonist, anti-hypertensive b/c of ↓ sympathetic tone via receptors in the NTS brainstem (reflex)
Term
isoproterenol
Definition
β selective (not subtype selective), ↑ bp , dilate skeletal muscle , ↓ TPR & diastolic BP, bronchodilator
Term
labetalol
Definition
mixed α / β antagonists, lower β: α ratio than carvedilol
Term
mehtamphetamine
Definition
lipophilic (CNS) alter, release of fatigue, enhanced performance, euphoria, less peripheral side effects & tolerance (tachyphylaxis) develops quickly
Term
methyldopa
Definition
α 2 agonist, anti-hypertensive b/c of ↓ sympathetic tone via receptors in the NTS brainstem (reflex)
Term
methylphenidate
Definition
amphetamine variant, ADHD, habit forming: psychosis, aggression, cardiac events
Term
metoprolol
Definition
β 1 Blocker: cardiac arrhythmia , angina pectoris, hypertension, post MI (partial agonist)
Term
naphazoline
Definition
??????
Term
norepinephrine
Definition
lower β 2 affinity than anyother receptor, α & β agonist , little CNS, ↑ blood glucose, ↑ glycogenolysis, ↑ gluconeogenesis, ↑ free fatty acids, stimulation of triglyceride lipase, ↓ insulin secretion
Term
oxymetazoline
Definition
α agonist, nasal decongestant, local vasoconstrictor
Term
phenoxybenzamine
Definition
α blocker, severe hypotension, little effect on resting blood pressure
Term
phentolamine
Definition
potent α1 α2 blocker, reduces TPR by vasodilation, cardiac stimulation by blocking epinephrine (reflex)
Term
phenylephrine
Definition
α agonist, nasal decongestant, local vasoconstrictor
Term
prazosin
Definition
α1 blocker, dilates arterioles & veins, hypotension by reducing peripheral resistance, ↓ cardiac pre-load & afterload, not much tachycardia (doesn't bind α 2)
Term
propranolol
Definition
non-selective β blocker, ↓ HR & output, reflex ↑ peripheral resistance, chronic use ↓ blood pressure, effects very prominent during exercise & stress, ↓ anxiety, ↓ renin, ↑ bronchoconstriciton
Term
pseudoephedrine
Definition
α agonist, nasal decongestant, local vasoconstrictor
Term
reserpine
Definition
natural, prevents vesicle storage, depelets dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and serotonin
Term
tamsulosin
Definition
α 1 blocker, BPH, less effective in ↓ TPR than other α antagonists
Term
terazosin
Definition
1QD = α1 blocker, dilates arterioles & veins, hypotension by reducing peripheral resistance, ↓ cardiac pre-load & afterload, not much tachycardia (doesn't bind α 2)
Term
terbuataline
Definition
beta 2 agonist, bronchodilator, uterine relaxant
Term
tetrahydrozoline
Definition
α agonist, (visine ®) constrict conjunctiva vessels, local vasoconstrictor
Term
timolol
Definition
non-selective β blocker, opthalmic: glaucoma, no local anestetic effect,
Term
tranylcypromine
Definition
MAO inhibitor, treat depression
