Question
Answer
Agonist   show
🗑
show Direct - noradrenaline, adrenaline, isoprenaline - act directly on receptor Indirect - tyramine, ephedrine and amphetamine - increase release of transmitter Sympathetic denervation blocks their effects  
🗑
show Same conc, same compound, same animal - can give different effects Adrenaline increases BP in contracting vascular smooth muscle Adrenaline and ergot decreases BP by relaxing smooth muscle  
🗑
Potency order - Ahlquist   show
🗑
show Heart - alpha 1 Blood vessels - Alpha 1 and 2 and Beta 2 Bronchi - Alpha 1 and Beta 2 GIT - Alpha 1 and Beta 1 Liver - Alpha 1 and Beta 2 Eye - Alpha 1 Skeletal muscle - Beta 2 and 3 Adipose tissue - Beta 3  
🗑
show Isoprenaline binds solely to beta receptors Causes a decrease in resistance due to vasodilation Increase in heart rate due to baroreceptor reflex Overall decrease in BP  
🗑
Non-selective adrenoreceptor agonists   show
🗑
Selective alpha 1 agonists   show
🗑
show Clonidine - anti hypertensive, central and peripheral actions Xylazine - sedative effects via CNS Presynaptic to decrease transmitter release, platelet aggregation, vasoconstriction  
🗑
Selective beta 1 agonists   show
🗑
Selective beta 2 agonists   show
🗑
show First discovered were ergot alkaloids by Dale - ergot poisoning Includes histamine, ACh, tyramine Derivatives of lysergic acid - ergotamine and ergometrine Partial alpha agonist as well as antagonist - stimulate then block  
🗑
show Phentolamine - non-selective, associated with raised heart rate as it blocks alpha 2 feedback Prazosin - selective alpha 1 used as an antihypertensive Phenoxybenzamine - irreversible non-selective used to prevent swings in BP and heart rate in surgery  
🗑
show Postural Hypotension Blocking alpha receptors removes the reflex that prevents blood pooling in the legs  
🗑
Beta antagonists   show
🗑
