Bethanechol - ANSWER: -Direct cholinergic agonist
-Activates bowel and bladder smooth muscle
-Used in postoperative and neurogenic ileus
-Resistant to AChE
,Carbachol - ANSWER: -Direct cholinergic agonist
-Carbon copy of acetylcholine
-Constricts pupils and relieves intraocular pressure in glaucoma
Methacholine - ANSWER: -Direct cholinergic agonist
-Stimulates muscarinic receptors in airways when inhaled
-Used as a challenge test for diagnosis of asthma
Pilocarpine - ANSWER: -Direct cholinergic agonist
-Contracts ciliary muscle of eye (open angle glaucoma), contracts pupillary sphincter (closed angle
glaucoma)
-Potent stimulator of sweat, tears and saliva
-AChE resistant
Donepezil - ANSWER: -Anticholinesterse - increases ACh
-Alzheimer disease
Galantamine - ANSWER: -Anticholinesterse - increases ACh
-Alzheimer disease
Rivastigmine - ANSWER: -Anticholinesterse - increases ACh
-Alzheimer disease
Edrophonium - ANSWER: -Anticholinesterse - increases ACh
-Historically used to diagnose myasthenia gravis (MG is now diagnosed by anti-AChR Ab test.
Neostigmine - ANSWER: -Anticholinesterse - increases ACh
-Used in postoperative and neurogenic ileus and urinary retention, myasthenia gravis, and
postoperative reversal of neuromuscular junction blockade
Physostigmine - ANSWER: -Anticholinesterse - increases ACh
-Used in anticholinergic toxicity
-Crosses the blood-brain barrier (CNS)
Pyridostigmine - ANSWER: -Anticholinesterse - increases ACh
-Increases muscle strength
-Used in myasthenia gravis (long acting)
-Does not penetrate CNS
Atropine - ANSWER: -Muscarinic antagonist
-Used in bradycardia and for ophthalmic applications
-Also used as antidote for cholinesterase inhibitor poisoning
-Actions include increase pupil dilation, cycloplegia, decreased airway secretions, decreased acid
secretions, decreased gut motility, decreased bladder urgency in cystitis
-Toxicity: increased body temp (due to decreased sweating), rapid pulse, dry mouth, dry and flushed
skin, cycloplegia, constipation, disorientation;
-Can cause acute angle-closure glaucoma in elderly (due to mydriasis), urinary retention in men with
prostatic hyperplasia, and hyperthermia in infants
-See also homatropine and tropicamide
Benztropine - ANSWER: -Muscarinic antagonist
-Works in CNS
-Used in Parkinson disease and acute dystonia
Glycopyrrolate - ANSWER: -Muscarinic antagonist
-Parental use: preoperative use to reduce airway secretions
,-Oral use: drooling, peptic ulcer
Hyoscyamine - ANSWER: -Muscarinic antagonist
-Antispasmodics for IBS
Dicyclomide - ANSWER: -Muscarinic antagonist
-Antispasmodics for IBS
Ipratropium - ANSWER: -Muscarinic antagonist
-Used in COPD and asthma
Tiotropium - ANSWER: -Muscarinic antagonist
-Used in COPD and asthma
Tetrodotoxin - ANSWER: -Poisoning can result from ingestion of poorly prepared puffer fish (exotic
sushi)
-Highly potent toxin that binds fast voltage-gated Na+ channels in cardiac and nerve tissue, preventing
depolarization - blocks action potential without changing resting potential (same mechanism as
Lidocaine)
-Causes nausea, diarrhea, paresthesias, weakness, dizziness, loss of reflexes.
-Treatment is primarily supportive.
Ciguatoxin - ANSWER: -Consumption of reef fish (e.g. barracuda, snapper, eel...)
-Causes ciguatera fish poisoning.
-Opens Na+ channels causing depolarization. Symptoms easily confused with cholinergic poisoning.
-Temperature-related dysesthesia (e.g., "cold feels hot; hot feels cold") is regarded as a specific
finding of ciguatera.
-Treatment is primarily supportive.
Scombroid poisoning - ANSWER: -Caused by consumption of dark-meat fish (e.g., bonito, mackerel,
mahi-mahi, tuna) improperly stored at warm temperature.
-Bacterial histidine decarboxylase converts histidine to histamine. Histamine is not degraded by
cooking.
-Acute-onset burning sensation of the mouth, flushing of face, erythema, urticaria, pruritus,
headache. May cause anaphylaxis-like presentation (i.e., bronchospasm, angioedema, hypotension).
-Frequently misdiagnosed as allergy to fish.
-Treat supportively with antihistamines; if needed, antianaphylactics (e.g., bronchodilators,
epinephrine).
Albuterol - ANSWER: -β2 > β1 direct agonist
-Acute asthma
Salmterol - ANSWER: -β2 > β1 direct agonist
-Long term asthma or COPD control
Amphetamine - ANSWER: -Indirect general sympathetic agonist
-reuptake inhibitor; also releases stored catecholamines
-Narcolepsy, obesity, ADHD.
Cocaine - ANSWER: -Indirect general sympathetic agonist
-Reuptake inhibitor
-Causes vasoconstriction and local anesthesia.
-Never give β-blockers if cocaine intoxication is
suspected (can lead to unopposed α1 activation and extreme hypertension).
Norepinephrine vs. isoproterenol - ANSWER: -Norepinephrine increases systolic and diastolic
pressures as a result of α1-mediated vasoconstriction causing increased in mean arterial pressure and
reflex bradycardia. -However, isoproterenol (no longer commonly used) has little α effect but causes
β2-mediated vasodilation, resulting in decreased mean arterial pressure and increased heart rate
through β1 and reflex activity.
α-methyldopa - ANSWER: -α2-agonist
-Used for hypertension in pregnancy
-Toxicity: Direct Coombs ⊕ hemolysis, SLE-like syndrome
Phenoxybenzamine - ANSWER: -Nonselective α-blocker
-Irreversible
-Used preoperatively for pheochromocytoma to prevent catecholamine (hypertensive) crisis
-Toxicity: orthostatic hypotension, reflex tachycardia
Phentolamine - ANSWER: -Nonselective α-blocker
-Give to patients on MAO inhibitors who eat tyramine containing foods
-Toxicity: orthostatic hypotension, reflex tachycardia
