Cards

Term
muscarinic agonists-choline esters
Definition
ACh, Bethanocol, Carbachol
Term
muscarinic agonists-natural alkaloids
Definition
pilocarpine
Term
Reversible cholinesterase inhibitors
Definition
Donepezin
Edrophonium
physostigmine
Neostigmine
Term
Irreversible cholinesterase inhibitors
Definition
Parathion
Term
what is a possible effect of prolonged use of CHOLINE ESTERS on nicotinic receptors?
Definition
cause DEPOLARIZATION BLOCK because they prevent postjunctional cells from returning to the resting state
Term
where are M2 receptors found? what is their effect
Definition
peripheral nerves, heart, some in smooth muscle-->they INHIBIT the release of NT by stopping cAMP production and opening K+ channels
Term
where are M3 receptors found? what is their effect?
Definition
smooth muscle, endothelium and exocrine glands--> EXCITATORY -->IP3 formation and increased Ca++
Term
in cases of GASTROPARESIS due to diabetes, how do choline esters help?
Definition
they increase tone, motility, increase secretions, and relax sphincters of the GI
Term
what are CHOLINE ESTER effects on the bladder and urinary system?
Definition
increase detrusor muscle contraction and ureteral peristalsis, also causes erection in males
Term
what is the effect of CHOLINE ESTERS on the bronchial smooth muscle?
Definition
contraction and increased secretion
Term
what is CHOLINE ESTER effect on the eye?
Definition
constriction of sphincter of the iris
Term
what are the effects of M3 receptors stimulation on the eye? blockage?
Definition
M3 stimulation-->cylcospasm--> contraction rounds lens and makes eye see close images
M3 blockage-->cycloplegia--> relaxation flattens lens and makes the eye see far images
Term
what is the only ORAL choline ester?
Definition
bethanechol
Term
which choline esters are broken down by AChesterases?
Definition
only ACh, bethanechol and carbachol are not
Term
what adverse effects are seen when ACh and carbachol are given locally on the conjunctiva?
Definition
visual difficulty on far vision or dim light
Term
what is PILOCARPINE used for?
Definition
xerostomia, open angle glaucoma
Term
****what are the two types of AChesterase inhibitors? examples**** TEST QUESTION
Definition
REVERSIBLE- carbamates (physostigmine and neostigmine) and ***edrophonium (used for diagnosis of myesthenia gravis-short acting****
IRREVERSIBLE - organophosphates (nerve gas-cause aging of enzyme)
Term
what drug REACTIVATES AchE after it has been blocked? when does the drug NOT work?
Definition
pralidoxime-->only works if the enzyme has not undergone aging, otherwise it's not effective
Term
GLAUCOMA drugs?
Definition
carbachol, pilocarpine, physostigmine
