Question | Answer |
---|---|
Parasympathomimetic Fx | Miosis, ciliary contraction, aq humor outflow, lacrimation, salivation + gastric secretion, gastric emptying + urination, EDRF/NO production (orphan M3, low dose), dec chrono/ino/dromotropy (M2, high doses), bronchoconstriction (M3), pulmonary secretions |
Glaucoma | Inc IOP > 30 mmHg due to resistance to outflow of aq humor. Primary - due to alteration in the eye; open angle - slow onset due to aging; angle closure/narrow angle - rapid onset due to obstruction (tx surgery) |
Myasthenia gravis | Auto-ABs attack Nm receptors: ptosis (droopy eyelids), diplopia (eye mvmt, vision), difficulty swallowing + chewing, weakness, dyspnea |
Methacholine | Methyl at β-carbon provides steric hindrance to AChE metab and imparts muscarinic selectivity |
Carbachol | Carbamylated ACh, slower rate of hydrolysis. Non-selective cholinergic agonist. Glaucoma: inc aq humor drainage thru trabecular meshwork into Schlemm's canal to bloodstream. SEs: short-term blurred far/dark vision |
Bethanechol | Carbamylated methacholine, slower rate of hydrolysis. Muscarinic agonist. Post-surgical GI/bladder atony: short-term tx promotes GI + bladder contraction. Contraindicated: PUD (XS secretions), urinary tract obstruction, systemic SE concern |
Muscarine | Naturally-occurring alkaloid. Muscarinic agonist |
Pilocarpine | Naturally-occurring alkaloid. Muscarinic agonist with CNS activity. Glaucoma: inc aq humor drainage thru trabecular meshwork into Schlemm's canal to bloodstream. SEs: short-term blurred far/dark vision |
Edrophonium | Competitive, reversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form carbamylated enzyme, less readily hydrolyzed. Reversed by inc ACh. Used to diagnose myasthenia gravis: v short-acting, expected to improve skeletal muscle mvmt. SEs: systemic |
Donepezil | Competitive, reversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form carbamylated enzyme, less readily regenerated. Reversed by inc ACh. CNS activity |
Pyridostigmine | Non-competitive, reversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form carbamylated enzyme, less readily regenerated. Not displaced by ACh. Myasthenia gravis: slow onset, longer duration |
Neostigmine | Non-competitive, reversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form carbamylated enzyme, less readily regenerated. Not displaced by ACh. Myasthenia gravis: rapid onset |
Physostigmine | Non-comp, reversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form carbamylated enzyme, less readily regenerated. Not displaced by ACh. Glaucoma: inc aq humor drainage thru trabecular meshwork into Schlemm's canal to bloodstream. SEs: short-term blurred far/dark vision |
Demarcarium | Non-competitive, reversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form carbamylated enzyme, less readily regenerated. Not displaced by ACh |
Ambenonium | Non-competitive, reversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form carbamylated enzyme, less readily regenerated. Not displaced by ACh. |
Echothiophate | Irreversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form phosphorylated enzyme, v resistant to hydrolysis, esp after aging. Glaucoma: inc aq humor drainage thru trabecular meshwork into Schlemm's canal to bloodstream. SEs: short-term blurred far/dark vision |
Parathion + Malathion | Insecticides. Irreversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form phosphorylated enzyme, v resistant to hydrolysis, esp after aging |
Sarin, Soman, Tabun | Nerve gases. Irreversible AChEI - drug hydrolyzed to form phosphorylated enzyme, v resistant to hydrolysis, esp after aging |
Pralidoxime | (2-PAM) attaches to Ser site + nucleophilic attack dephosphorylates enzyme to regenerate. AChEI antidote |
