Cards

Term
cardiovascular effects
Definition
-B1 receptors increase heart rate (SA and AV nodes) and contractility (myocardial cells)
Term
why a1 receptors predominates?
Definition
more a1 receptors
Term
*baroreceptor reflex
Definition
-decreased BP
-Baro Rs detect
-*increase SNS/decrease PSNS
-SNS stimulates adrenal medulla
-increases HR and stroke volume
-increases BP
-reflex tachycardia
Term
BP determined by
Definition
-cardiac output
-total peripheral resistance
Term
CO determined by
Definition
-HR
-stroke volume
Term
ocular effects
Definition
-mydriasis (pupil dilation)
-contraction of iris radial smooth muscle
(dilator pupillae)(a1)
-effects on aqueous humor
Term
ocular effects (aqueous humor)
Definition
-direct increase in production by B1
-direct decrease in production by a2
-indirect decrease in production by a2 and a1
Term
respiratory effects
Definition
-bronchodilation (B2)
-inhibition of inflammatory mediator release from mast cells (B2)
-decreased bronchial gland secretions (a1)
-vasoconstriction in upper resp. tract muscosa (a1)
Term
metabolic effects
Definition
-glycogenolysis occurs in liver, skeletal muscle, heart, and adipose cells (B1,B3)
-inhibition of insulin secretion (a2)
-stimulation of glucagon secretion (B2)
Term
genitourinary effects
Definition
-direct sympathetic innervation to prostate
-position of prostate can put pressure on urethra
-urinary retention
-frequency and urgency
-prostate expresses a1
-a1 stimulation results in contraction
Term
more genitourinary effect
Definition
-a1 receptors cause vasoconstriction
-b2 receptors are in detrusor muscle and cause relaxation
-alpha effect dominates over PSNS response
Term
uterine effects
Definition
-most important during pregnancy
-a1 activation leads to contraction
-B2 activation leads to relaxation
Term
a1 receptors
Definition
-coupled to Gq
-a1a,a1b,a1d
-primarily on smooth muscle
-GI tract
-pilomotor smooth muscle
-peripheral vasculature
-VASOCONSTRICTION
-MYDRIASIS
Term
a2 receptor
Definition
-activate Gi (decrease Ca, increase K, decreased NE release)
-both pre and post synaptic
Term
B1 receptors
Definition
-couple to Gs
-located primarily in HEART and kidney
-stimulate renin release in kidney
-increase inotropy (contractility) and chronotropy (HR)
-both effects increase CARDIAC OUTPUT
Term
B2
Definition
-couple to Gs
-located in lungs, vasculature, smooht muscle, and liver
-brochodilation
-vasodilation (skeletal muscle and coronary blood vessels)
-increases glycogenolysis
Term
NE
Definition
-H bonding
-rapidly metabolized by COMT
-ionized at physiological pH
Term
Epi
Definition
-substitution on amino nitrogen increases B selectivity
Term
isoproterenol
Definition
-substitution of 2 methyl groups on amino nitrogen
Term
sympathomimetics
Definition
-mimic effects of transmitter substances in SNS
Term
pseudoepedrine
Definition
-indirect sympathomimetics
-diastereomer of ephedrine
-does not cross BBB as good as ephedrine
-nasal decongestant
Term
norepinephrine (levophed)
Definition
-a1 agonists, weaker b1 agonist
-vasoconstriction
-reflex bradycardia (decreased HR)
-IV only
-
Term
Epinephrine (adrenalin chloride, sus-phrine)
Definition
-a1,a2,b1,b2 agonist
-dose is important
-IV,inhalation,IM
-used for shock,asthma
-important to note if patient is on any adrenergic blockers
Term
*Phenylephrine (Neo-Synephrine)
Definition
-*rebound congestion is common if used beyond 3 days
-OTC nasal decongestant
-induces mydriasis
-constrict blood vessels in blood shot eyes
Term
*Oxymetazoline (Afrin,Dristan,Sinex)
Definition
-a1 and a2
-vasoconstriction
-nasal spray
-used during surgery
Term
tetrahydrolizine (visine)
Definition
-vasoconstriction
-OTC eye drops and nasal spray
Term
direct acting sympathomimetics
Definition
-NE
-Epi
-Phenyephrine
-Oxymetazoline
-Tetrahydrolizine
Term

-Albuterol
-Salmeterol
-Formoterol
Term
Dobutamine (Dobutrex)

-heart surgery, CHF, acute MI
-(+) a1 antagonist,potent at B1
-(-) a1 agonist
-stereochem affects EFFICACY not AFFINITY
Term
*Dopamine (Intropin)
Definition
-CNS actions
-*dilate renal blood vessels thru D1 Rs
-stimulate B1 Rs
-*IV only
-*shock,MI,trauma, CHF
-substrate for MOA
Term
Albuterol (Proventil,Ventolin)
Definition
-oral or inhalation
-bronchospasm
-rapid acting 15 min
-oral can delay preterm labor bc B2 agonist
-side effect: jittery
Term
Salmeterol (Serevent)
Definition
-maintenance therapy for asthma
-slow onset, long duration bc lipophilic tail embeds in membrane
-component of advair
-more B2 selective than albuterol
Term
Foromterol (Foradil)
Definition
-onset 3 mins, 12 hour duration
