direct acting muscarinic agonist
|
|
Carbachol mechanism of action
|
direct acting muscarinic and nicotinic agonist
|
|
Pilocarpine mechanism of action
|
direct acting muscarinic agonist
|
|
Physostigmine mechanism of action
|
reversible AChE inhibitor
acts on muscarinic and nicotinic receptors |
|
Neostigmine mechanism of action
|
reversible AChE inhibitor
acts on muscarinic and nicotinic receptors |
|
Edrophonium mechanism of action
|
reversible AChE inhibitor
acts on muscarinic and nicotinic receptors *brief duration of action |
|
Pyridostigmine mecanism of action
|
reversible AChE inhibitor
acts on muscarinic and nicotinic receptors |
|
Organophosphate mechanism of action
|
irreversible AChE and pseudocholinesterase inhibitor
*used as pesticide, easily causes death |
|
Atropine mechanism of action
|
competitive muscarinic antagonist
binds to receptor sites on effector organ to prevent ACh binding *may be overwhelmed by high levels of ACh |
|
Glycopyrrolate mechanism of action
|
muscarinic antagonist
longer duration of action than atropine *fewer CNS side effects b/c does not cross BBB well |
|
What effects do muscarinic agonists have?
|
decrease HR
decrease or no effect on BP increased secretions (SLUDD) miosis |
|
What effects do nicotinic agonists have?
|
muscle contraction, twitches
|
|
where are nicotinic receptors?
|
somatic NS (skeletal muscle)
|
|
where are muscarinic receptors?
|
autonomic NS (parasympathetic)
|
|
what does SLUDD stand for?
|
salivation, lacrimation, urination, defecation, death
|
|
what do direct acting cholinergic agonists bind to?
|
receptors on target
|
|
what do indirect acting cholinergic agonists bind to?
|
AChE or pseudocholinesterase
cause decreased breakdown of ACh |
