Cards

Term
Name the four catecholamines?
Definition
NE, epi, dopamine, isoproterenol
Term
Which receptors does NE prefer in order?
Definition
a1 = a2 > B1 >> B2
Term
What is the biological effect of norepinephrine?
Definition

vasoconstriction

increase BP

reflex brady

Term
What is the order of preference for epi receptors?
Definition
B1=B2>a1=a2
Term
What is the biological effects of epi? (5)
Definition

constant BP b/c a and B balance

increase HR, CO, SV

decrease mast cell release

increase renin release

bronchodilation

Term
What are four uses of epinephrine?
Definition

anaphalatic shock

tissue hemostasis

combined with anesthetic

cardiac arrest

Term
In giving epi for treating tissue hemostasis, what consequence can result?
Definition
rebound effect due to the build up of metabolites will force vessels to dilate
Term
At high doses of epi, what will happen to the BP?
Definition
at high doses more of the alpha receptors are bound creaeting vasocconstriction and increase in BP
Term
What receptors will isoproterenol bind to in order?
Definition
B1=B2>>>a
Term
What are the biological effects of isoproterenol? (2)
Definition

vasodilate=decrease BP

increase HR,SV, CO

Term
What receptors does dopamine bind to?
Definition
DOPA>>B>>a
Term
What is the biological effect of Dopamine?
Definition

CNS effects

vasodilate renal, mesenteric, coronary vascular beds

Term
What drug is good for treatment of non-anaphylactic  shock?  WHY?
Definition
dopamine b/c it opens vasculature to important structures
Term
At high doses of dopamine what happens to the CO and HR?
Definition

CO goes up

HR goes up slightly

Term
What receptor is dobutamine primarily active against?
Definition
B1
Term
What is the biological effect of dobutamine?
Definition
increase CO with modest increase in HR
Term
What drug is good for use short term after cardiac surgery or CHF?
Definition
dobutamine
Term
What drugs bind an reverse UPTAKE 1? (3)
Definition

amphetamine

ephedrine

Tyramine

Term

What durg selective binds B2 agonist?

 

What disease is it great for?

Definition

albuterol

 

asthma

Term
What drug is a selective alpha agonist and is used as a decongestant?
Definition
phenylephrine
Term
What is a use of amphetamine?
Definition
incontinenence
Term
What are the uses of ephedrine? (4)
Definition

nasal decongestant

hypotension in spinal procedures

mydriasis

glaucoma

Term
What are the two mechanisms of action of ephedrine?
Definition

binds and reverses uptake 1

agonist for a and B

Term
What is the biological effect of amphetamine? (5)
Definition

cause vasoconstriction, increase in BP

reflex brady

analeptic

decrease appetitie

contract urinary sphincter

Term
What happens to the neuron with repeated doses of amphetamine?
Definition
Tachyphalaxis (tolerance)
Term
What is the biological effect of ephedrine? (4)
Definition

vasoconstriction but no reflex b/c also stimulates heart to increase HR.

 

Relax bronchi

mydriasis

Term
What are the two CNS alpha2 acting drugs?
Definition

clondine

methyl dopa

Term
Which CNS drug is a prodrug (needs to be converted)?
Definition
methyl dopa
Term
What two receptors does clondine stimulate?
Definition
postsynaptic alpha 2 and Imidazoline I-1 in the CNS
Term
What is the biological effect of clondine?
Definition

puts the break on sympathetics

 

 

Term
What are the biological effects of methyl dopa?
Definition
puts brakes on sympathetics
Term
What is the use of methyl dopa as second line treatment?
Definition
HTN
Term
What is a great drug to use in pregnant women for treatment of HTN?
Definition
methyl dopa
Term

What are the general side effects of methyl dopa and clondine?

 

What is one side effect to clondine and two specific to methyl dopa?

Definition

sedation

sexual dysfunction

withdrawal

 

methyl dopa: anemia, hepatitis

clondine: Xerostomia

Term
What drug can cause sedation, hepatitis, anemia, withdrawal, sexual disfuction?
Definition
methyl dopa
Term
What drug can cause Xerostomia, sedation, withdrawal, sexual disfunction?

Definition
phentolamaine
Term
Which alpha antagonist works best against circulating catecholamines?
Definition
phenolamaine
Term
To get a greater effect of the alpha antagonists, what has to be true of the sympathetic tone?
Definition
the sympathetic tone most be increased
Term
What class of drugs is good in treating Reynaud's syndrome and pheochromocytoma?
Definition
