Term
Where do we see what types of muscarinic receptors? What does muscarinic do overall?
Definition
-M1; Glands of GI
-M2; Heart (SA and AV nodes only)
-M3; The rest

-Overall the muscarinic system is PANS (except for sweat glands) and acts to increase secretions and smooth muscle contraction, and decrease heart function

-Note; there is no drug that selectively activates these
Term
What actions are solely SANS and PANS?
Definition
-Blood vessels are solely SANS
-GI is almost all PANS

-Important because if we stimulate the ganglia (all same Nn receptors) we will see SANS blood vessel over-action (constriction predominates via a1), PANS GI over-action (diarrhea), and mixed everything else

-Note that blood vessels have M receptors that are not innervated (act via NO stimulation); so **direct acting M agonist will produce vasodilation when given systemically
-Indirect, such as AChE inhibitors will have no effect here
Term
Hemicholinium?
Definition
-Blocks choline uptake
-No clinical use

-Sounds like "half-choline"... maybe it halves it
Term
Botulinum toxin?
Definition
-Interacts with *synaptobrevin to inhibit ACh release

Uses;
-Blepharospasm; eye twitches
-Strabismus; cross eye
-Dystonia; sustained muscle contraction
-Cosmetics

-Causes paralysis for a few months
Term
Bethanechol?
Definition
-M agonist (direct cholinomimetic)

Uses;
-Ileus; low gut motility
-Urinary retention

-Would have have to deal with the miosis, increased accommodation, bradycardia, etc. as side effects
Term
Methacholine?
Definition
-M agonist (direct cholinomimetic) & a little N action

Uses;
-Dx of bronchial hyperreactivity (will cause wheezing)
Term
Pilocarpine?
Definition
-M agonist (direct cholinomimetic)

Uses;
-Glaucoma (topical)
-Xerostomia; dry mouth
Term
Edrophonium?
Definition
-AChE inhibitor (indirect cholinomimetic)

Uses;
-**Dx of myasthenia (short acting, so can't treat); see increased muscle tone
-Will differentiate from cholinergic crisis (desensitization because of too much ACh)
Term
Neostigmine, pyridostigmine?
Definition
-AChE inhibitor (indirect cholinomimetic)
-No CNS entry (quat. amine)

Uses;
-Rx of myasthenia gravis (longer acting than edrophonium)
-Reversal of nondepolarizing NM blockers (these are the "-curare" types of drugs given before surgery for flaccid par.)
Term
Physostigmine?
Definition
-AChE inhibitor (indirect cholinomimetic)
-CNS entry (tert. amine)

Uses;
-Rx of glaucoma
-**Atropine overdose (because crosses BBB); it's a comp. M inhibitor
Term
Donepezil, tacrine?
Definition
-AChE inhibitor (indirect cholinomimetic)
-Enters CNS (lipid soluble)

Uses;
-Rx of Alzheimer disease
Term
Organophosphates?
Definition
-AChE inhibitor (indirect cholinomimetic)
-Lipid soluble (enter brain)
-Irreversible inhibition (lowers Vmax)

Uses;
-Rx of glaucoma (echothiophate)
-Toxicity in insecticides (**parathion & malathion) and sarin nerve gas
Term
What are the effects of AChE inhibitor poisoning? How do we treat?
Definition
FOR ACUTE--------------
DUMBBELSS;
-Diarrhea
-Urination
-Miosis
-Bradycardia
-Bronchoconstriction
-Excitation (muscle and CNS, muscle eventually paralyzed)
-Lacrimation
-Salvation
-Sweating

Treatment;
-*Atropine (a competitive M antagonist)
-*Pralidoxime (2-PAM) (regenerates AChE); does not work after aging (Organic group leaves P on AChE via hydrolysis)
-Aging takes a few hours with parathion and malathion, but only a few minutes for sarin nerve gas


FOR CHRONIC-------------
-Causes demyelination (bc lipid soluble)
-Gives peripheral neuropathy (nothing to do with AChE)
-Similar effects to MS, and also with no treatment
Term
Muscarinic antagonist effects/side effects?
Definition
Effects (mostly from SANS taking over);
-Decreased secretions (dry mouth)
-Mydriasis and cycloplegia (blurred from lack of acc.)
-Hyperthermia (no sweating--->vasodilation & redness)
-Sedation
-*Tachycardia (with broadening of QRS complex--> Torsades de Pointes arrhythmia)
-Urinary retention (symp. = store) and constipation
-Behavioral excitation & hallucinations (convulsions, coma)

Three C's for overdoses of any M antagonist;
-Cardiotoxicity
-Convulsions
-Coma
Term
What are the other classes of drugs which have antimuscarinic side effects that we might not usually think of as antimuscarinic(6)? Treatment with overdose?
Definition
-Antihistamines
-Tricyclic antidepressants
-Antipsychotics
-Quinidine
-Amantadine
-Merperidine

-For all of these we need to worry about the side effects seen in atropine

-Treat with physostigmine for overdose
Term
**Atropine?
Definition
-Muscarinic antagonist (*the major one)
-Tert. amine (enters CNS)

Uses;
-Antispasmodic (of sm. muscle)
-Antisecretory
-Antidiarrheal
-AChE inhibitor OD
-Opthalmology (but really long action, like a few days)
Term
Tropicamide?
Definition
-Muscarinic antagonist TROPIcamide

Uses;
-Ophthalmology (topical)
Term
Ipratropium?
Definition
-Muscarinic antagonist (iprATROPIum)
-No CNS entry

Uses;
-Asthma and COPD (inhalant, decreases vol. of secretion, not viscosity)
Term
Scopolamine?
Definition
-Muscarinic antagonist (nothing in name)

Uses;
-OTC in motion sickness preparation; causes sedation and short-term memory block
-Acts on the vestibular receptors which are M

-Antihistamines are also often used for motion sickness
Term
Benztropine & trihexyphenidyl?
Definition
-Muscarinic antagonist (benzTROPINE, nothing for other)

Uses;
-**Parkinsonism; either from the disease or induced by antipsychotics
Term
Hexamethonium?
Definition
-N1 (ganglionic) blocker

-No clinical use; will wipe out entire ANS
Term
Mecamylamine?
Definition
-N1 (ganglionic) blocker

-No clinical use; will wipe out entire ANS
Term
What can we expect in a ganglionic blockade? What are the two drugs?
Definition
Reduced predominant nerve tone;
-PANS is dominant where there's dual innervation & the gut
-SANS is dominant for vasculature (constriction via a1 is dominant tone over B2) & sweat
-Also, will see loss of changes in things controlled by the ANS, such as in pupil size with light (it will be a bit big because of predominate PANS btw)
-Direct acting drugs will still have an effect
-Reflex brady/tachycardia will be blocked, however

Drugs;
-Hexamethonium
-Mecamylamine
