Term
therapeutic management of asthma requires the use of QUICK ACTING DRUGS to relieve an acute attack followed by DRUGS THAT CONTROL THE CONDITION
1) the quick reliever medication in asthma is almost always an inhaled short-acting B-adrenergic agonist
2) controller drugs are inhaled corticosteroids, long-acting B-adrenergic agonists, leukotriene modifiers, cromolyn sodium, methylxanthines |

| chemistry of B-adrenergic agonists: catecholamines |
|
|
Term
NE is synthesized in the CNS (within adrenergic neurons, near terminus of axon and junction with the effector cell)
TYROSINE HYDROXYLASE step is rate-limiting and carefully controlled
EPI is formed in the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla
metyrosine has been widely used to demonstrate the effects of exercise, stress, and various drugs on the turnover of catecholamines
carbidopa can inhibit peripheral AADC during L-Dopa therapy for parkinson's disease.
this allows more of the dose of L-Dopa to penetrate BBB where it is converted to dopamine by the brain by AADC in that compartment. |

B1 in the heart: agonism increases rate, force, and conduction velocity
B2 in bronchiole smooth muscle: AGONISM CAUSES DILATION
B2 in intestine: agonism causes decreased molitily
B2 in liver: agonism causes increased gluconeogenesis, increased glycogenolysis
B2 in uterus: agonism causes relaxation
most important subtypes for asthma/COPD are B1 and B2 found primarily in the heart and lung, respectively |

indirect-acting agonsists: work by several other mechanisms (stimulate NE release, inhibit NE reuptake, inhibit NE degradation by MAO) |
|
Definition
| MOA of direct vs indirect acting adrenergic agonists |
|
|
Term
1) the substituents on the amino group (R1) determines a- or B-receptor selectivity
2) the larger the bulk of the N-substituent, the greater the B-selectivity (isoproterenol). N-tert-butyl afford B2 selectivity
3) substituents on a-carbon (R2) slow MAO metabolism and increase duration of action
4) in addition to N bulk need an appropriate catechol surrogate for B-selectivity
