Cards

Term
  Cyclothiazide  
Definition

·      relieves AMPA receptor desensitization but does not affect kainate receptors. (Makes AMPA work)

Term

    Concanavalin A

Definition
relieves desensitization of kainate receptors but has insignificant effects on AMPA. (Makes Kainate work)
Term

  Cycloserine

Definition
A partial agonist that binds to glycine site on the NMDA receptor (used to enhance effects of antipsychotics in schizophrenia).
Term
Ketamine
Definition
These drugs bind at the Mg2+ binding site and are noncompetitive receptor antagonists.  They occlude the receptor similar to Mg2+.  (LOW DOSE PSYCHOTOMIMETIC, HIGH DOSE DISSOCIATIVE ANALGESIC)
Term

PCP 

Definition
These drugs bind at the Mg2+ binding site and are noncompetitive receptor antagonists.  They occlude the receptor similar to Mg2+.  (LOW DOSE PSYCHOTOMIMETIC, HIGH DOSE DISSOCIATIVE ANALGESIC)
Term

Tiagabine  

Definition
Anticonvulsant drug,  also act at GAT-1 transporter.
Term

Desipramine 

Definition

antidepressant, inhibit all subtypes of GABA transporters;however they have much lower affinity for GABA transporters compared to norepinephrine transporters.

Term

maprotiline

Definition

 antidepressant, inhibit all subtypes of GABA transporters;however they have much lower affinity for GABA transporters compared to norepinephrine transporters.

Term

Amitriptyline   

Definition
antidepressant, blocks transport through both GAT-1 and GAT-3 with an affinity of 10 times lower than that for the serotonin transporter. 
Term

Bicuculine 

Definition
binds to GABA , ANTAGONIST, used for sleep apnia, insomnia, anxiety disorders
Term

Baclofan

Definition
bind to GABAb, agonist, used for sleep apnia, insomnia, anxietydisorders, works to help trigeminal neuralgia by disinhibiting
Term

Phaclofen

Definition
 bind to GABAb, antagonist, used for sleep apnia, insomnia, anxiety disorders
Term

Zolpidem  

Definition
used for insomnia (e.g., Ambien)
Term

Benzodiazepine  

Definition
tranquilizer (e.g., Valium)
Term

Tranylcypromine

Definition

MAO inhibitors, are used clinically to treat depression and

Parkinson disease, panic disorder. 

Term

Dephrenyl  

Definition

MAO inhibitors, are used clinically to treat depression and

Parkinson disease, panic disorder. 

Term

iproniazid  

Definition
used for treatment of TB, causes hepatitis as adverse side effect). MAOs
Term

Catechol-o-methyl transferase (COMT)  

Definition
Catabolizes catecholamines present at the synaptic cleft.  COMT methylates catecholamines, and for that requires S-adenosyl-methionine as methyl donor.
Term

Yohimbine  

Definition

blocks a2-adrenergic receptors, and by inhibiting autoreceptors, can increase NE

neurotransmission.

Term

Reserpine 

Definition
 blocks VMATs and inhibits catecholamine uptake into vesicles (antihypertensive, antipsychotic)
Term

Clonidine

Definition
  are used in hypertension.  a2- antagonists are also used to treat physical withdrawal from opiates, effect mediated by receptors in the LC. 
Term

Propranolol 

Definition

  a non selective b-AR antagonist is used for social phobia or anxiety disorder.

Term

TPH  

Definition
is the rate limiting step for serotonin synthesis
Term

clomipramine  

Definition
Tricyclic antidepressant , also has high affinity for SERT.
Term

for 4 hrs, used for treating myasthenia gravis. 

Term

Neostigmin  

Definition

reversible anticholinesterases , which can inactivate AChE
