BMS60046
Drugs acting at the NMDA receptor
Question | Answer |
---|---|
NMDA endogenous agonsits | glutamate, aspartate, glycine (co-agonist) |
NMDA endogenous antagonists | Zn and Mg |
Mg SE | when increased, decreases excitabiilty; lowers HR, BP tendon reflex, muscle force, CNS |
NMDA exogenous antagonists | ketamine; memantine |
ketamine | analgesic; doesn't repress respiratory activity; non-competitive; has sympathomimetic anaesthesia, parasympathomimetic anaesthesia, and psychotomimetic anaesthesia; is a mix of isomers |
what other receptors does ketamine work at? | GABA agonist, blocks Na channel, Ca channel, M receptor, nicotinic receptor, sigma receptor; kappa agonist; NOS inhibitor; receptor inhibitor for NE, dopamine, 5HT |
what are the sympathomimetic effects of ketamine? | bronchodilation; increased RR, HR, BP, oxygen consumption; not good for CAD pts; good as asthmatic last resort |
what are the parasympathomimetic effects of ketamine? | bronchorrhea; sialorrhea |
what would you use to alleviate the parasympathomimetic effects of ketamine? | atropine (muscarinic antagonist) b/c it will dry everything up. |
what are ketamine's psychotomimetic effects? | vivid dreams; use a GABA agonist |
esketamine | pure S (+) ketamine (good guy) |
memantine | prevention of dementia/improvement of mental performance in elderly (memory); more rapid removal of Mg (unblocking of NMDA); doesn't affect inhibition of AChesterase |
Methadone | mu- and NMDA-antagonist (double analgesia); slow onset, variable t1/2; metabolite has long t1/2; accumulation/sedation; 4-12 Mo |
where are opiod receptors located? | mainly CNS (spinal and supraspinal) |
mu-opiod receptors | open K channels --> hyperpolarization; supraspinal |
kappa opiod receptors | inhibit Ca channels --> reduce transmitter release; spinal |
delta opiod receptors | modulate mu-receptor acitivity |
what are the endogenous opiod peptides? | enkephaline (delata); endorphine (mu); dynorphine (kappa) |
what are the NMDA anti-epileptic drugs? | Lamotrigine, Felbamate, Topiramate |
Lamotrigine | glutamate-release inhibitor; Na channel blocker |
Felbamate | Glycine (NMDA)- Antagonist; GABA-Agonist |
topiramate | AMPA-Antagonist; GABA-Agonist; dopamine release inhibitor; makes you lose weight (unlike other anti-seizure meds); SE: impaired memory, inhibits carbonic anhydrase, increases occular pressure (myopia and glaucoma) |
