Term
beta 1 location and function
Definition
cardiac SM, increase rate and force of contraction

salmeterol does this
Definition
same as albuterol
Term
amphetamine
Definition
indirect stimulation of NE release and blocks reuptake - CNS stimulation. D isomer is best.

alpha 2 agonist, anti-glaucoma. (decreases aqueous humor production)
Term
Terbutaline
Definition
beta 2 agonist given to relax uterine smooth muscle during premature labor
Term
Phenoxybenzamine
Definition
alpha 1 blocker. 100x more alpha 1 than alpha 2. decreases TPR, leads to increased Heart Rate and cardiac output. Irreversible.
Term
Phentolamine
Definition
Alpha blocker, not very selective. Reversible. Stimulates cardiac, increased NE release.
Term
Terazosin and Doxazosin
Definition
Very selective alpha 1 blockers. Little tachycardia, effective as antihypertensive. First dose effect will cause syncope, so don't stand 30-90 minutes after first dose.
Term
Alpha blocker uses:
Definition
hypertension, pheocromocytoma, shock, peripheral vascular disease (will vaso-dilate), reverse eye dilation (Dapiprazole), BPH (will relax muscle of prostate and bladder neck - drug is tamsulosin a.k.a. flomax.
Term
-olol means
Definition
beta blockers
Term
beta blockers:
Definition
block rate and force of contraction of heart, decrease CO, decreases angina, decreases blood pressure.
Term
nadolol
Definition
long duration beta blocker
Term
pindolol
Definition
partial beta agonist, but acts like beta blocker. Doesn't lower HR as much.
Term
timolol
Definition
ophthalmic glaucoma drug, decreases aqueous production. If used orally is called Blocadren.
Term
Non selective beta blockers have a risk to:
Definition
asthmatics
Term
metoprolol
Definition
selective beta blocker
Term
atenolol
Definition
selective beta blocker
Term
betaxolol
Definition
beta 1 selective blocker, not as effective in lowering IOP as the non-selective beta blocker
Term
carvedilol
Definition
beta blocker (non selective) and alpha 1 blocker. Double action against hypertension.
Term
Cautions for beta blockers:
Definition
asthmatics, severe heart failure, rapid withdrawal (rebound hypersensitivity), labile diabetic.
Term
beta blocker uses:
Definition
hypertension, arrhythmias, angina, migrane, panic attack, glaucoma, myocardial infarct
Term
Guanethidine
Definition
adrenergic neuron blocker. Inhibits sympathetic nerve stimulation. Depletes NE. Does not penetrate CNS. Last resort for HTN. Toxicities include: postural hypotension, diarrhea, nasal stuffiness, increased fluid retention, bradycardia, supersensitivity to direct agonists (chemical denervation). Very toxic.
Term
Reserpine
Definition
adrenergic neuron blocker. Depletes NE including in CNS (also DA and 5-HT), prevents storage in granules. Anti-HTN. Produces sedation, depression, bradycardia, postural hypotension, increased GI Tract activity.
Used for centuries as the Rauwolfia alkyloid to calm people.
Term
Nicotine
Definition
Ganglionic stimulant - no therapeutic uses.
Term
Hexamethonium
Definition
Ganglionic blocker - no therapeutic uses. Can cause tachycardia, dilation of eye, orthostatic hypotension due to block of SNS reflex control. Used to be used as anti-HTN.
Term
Neuromuscular Blockers (two types)
Definition
Competitive (Do not depolarize, antagonist) and Depolarizing
Term
Curare
Definition
Prototype competitive neuromuscular blocker. (D-tubocurarine) Paralyzes the skeletal muscle. Effect can be reversed by AchE inhibitors i.e. physostigmine.
Term
pancuronium
Definition
like curare but not absorbed into CNS or across placenta
Term
curare toxicities
Definition
decreased blood pressure, ganglionic blockade and histamine release.
Term
succinylcholine
Definition
depolarizing neuromuscular blocker. fasciculation then paralysis. Short duration (5 mins). Not overcome by Anti-cholinesterases. Mainly used as adjunct to anesthesia to relax skeletal muscle. Toxicity is malignant hyperthermia.
Term
Anti neuromuscular toxicities
Definition
Apnea, CV collapse, histamine release,
Term
First Line anti-HTN agents:
Definition
ACE inhibitor, ANG II antagonist at the AT1 receptor, beta blocker, calcium channel blocker, diuretic
Term
hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide, triamterene are all
Definition
diuretics
Term
Diuretic effects:
Definition
decrease BV, TPR, and decrease CO.
Term
Thiazides and Loop diuretics ____ K+
Definition
decrease
Term
diuretic MOA:
Definition
directly related to diuresis, in addition to decreasing BV it may involve decreasing Na+ load in the body and in the vessel walls.
Term
Non selective versus selective beta blockers
Definition
are not different when treating HTN. All will decrease HR, decrease CO and thus decrease BP. They also decrease renin release as well as decreasing CNS sympathetic outflow. Some might decrease TPR.
Term
beta blocker toxicities
Definition
bradycardia, asthma aggravation, congestive heart failure
Term

Term
guanfacine
Definition
selective alpha 2 agonist
Term
alpha-methyl-dopa MOA
Definition
directly stimulates central alpha 2 receptors, indirectly as alpha-methyl-norepinephrine which has selective alpha 2 agonist actions.
Term

Definition
directly stimulate central alpha 2 receptors, possibly inhibitory neurons to vasomotor control center.
