Pharmacology of the Autonomic Nervous System
•
4 j'aime•281 vues
The document discusses the autonomic nervous system and pharmacology of its sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. It describes the pre- and post-ganglionic fibers, neurotransmitters, and receptors involved. Catecholamines, adrenergic receptors, and drugs that target the sympathetic system like agonists, antagonists, and their effects are summarized. Parasympathetic muscarinic and nicotinic receptors, cholinergic drugs like direct and indirect agonists, and anticholinergic drugs are also outlined.

- 4. Sympathetic Nervous System Parasympathetic Nervous System Pre-ganglionic Neuron ● Acetylcholine ● Acetylcholine Post-ganglionic Neuron ● Nicotinic Receptors ● Nicotinic Receptors ● Norepinephrine ● Acetylcholine ● Acetylcholine ● Dopamine Tissue Receptor ● Adrenergic Receptors ● Muscarinic Receptors ● Muscarinic Receptors ● Dopamine Receptors Exceptions of the Sympathetic Nervous System Adrenal Medulla Releases norepinephrine Sweat Glands Releases acetylcholine Renal Vasculature Releases dopamine
- 5. Catecholamines Receptors: - α1 Receptors - α2 Receptors - β1 Receptors - β2 Receptors - Dopamine Receptors Catecholamines: - Epinephrine - Norepinephrine - Dopamine DRUG AGONIST ANTAGONIST
- 6. ADRENERGIC AGONIST ADRENERGIC RECEPTOR ADRENERGIC RECEPTOR ADRENERGIC ANTAGONIST Stimulates a response through catecholamines. Inhibits the action of catecholamines.
- 7. Most drugs interact with more than one receptor type! But usually they have more affinity to one specific type of receptor.
- 8. α1 Agonists Some of the important effects of α1 agonists: - Mydriasis - Raising blood pressure - Piloerection - Contraction of bladder sphincters - Contraction of the spleen capsule
- 9. α1 Agonists Phenylephrine - Treat hypotensive states - Mainly stimulates α1 receptors Norepinephrine - Treatment of shock - Great capacity in stimulating both α1 and β1 receptors Epinephrine - Support blood pressure during anaphylaxis These agents are sometimes used with local anesthetics
- 10. α1 Antagonists Some of the important effects of α1 antagonists: - Negates de responses of the α1 receptor - Reduces the blood pressure Some of the α1 antagonist agents: - Phentolamine - Phenoxybenzamine - Prazosin
- 11. α1 Antagonists Phentolamine - Competitive, short-acting - Help diagnose pheochromocytoma - Side effects: - Cardiac stimulation - Abdominal cramping (chronic use) - Ulcer exacerbation (chronic use) - Diarrhea (chronic use) Phenoxybenzamine - Non-competitive, long-acting - Managment of pheochromocytoma Prazosin - Treatment of hypertention - Treatment of congestive heart failure - Side effects: - “Prazosin syncope”
- 12. α2 Agonists Some of the uses of α2 agonists: - Antihypertensive - Sedative - Treatment of opiate dependence - Treatment of alcohol withdrawal symptoms Clonidine is used as a treatment for: - High blood pressure - Attention-deficits / Hyperactivity - Anxiety disorders - Migraine - Menopausal flushing - Diarrhea - Side effects: - Hypotension - Dry mouth
- 13. α2 Antagonists Yohimbine: - Treatment of erectile dysfunction - Aphrodisiac effects - Treatment of dry mouth - Treatment of sexual dysfunction
- 14. β Agonists Isoproterenol - Stimulates both β1 and β2 receptors - Bronchioles are relaxed (β2) - Gravid uterus is relaxed (β2) - Increased contractiity and heart rate (β1) Dobutamine - Stimulates selectively β1 receptors - Increased contractiity and heart rate
- 15. β Antagonists Propranolol - Inhibits both β1 and β2 receptors - Reduces heart rate, contractility and blood pressure - Increases bronchiolar tone - Side effects: - Hearth failure - Reduced AV conduction - Worsened COPD Metoprolol - Inhibits selectively β1 receptors
- 16. Acetylcholine Receptors • Acetylcholine Postganglionic neurotransmitter in the PNS Preganglionic neurostranmitter for both SNS and PNS • Cholinergic receptor Muscarinic receptor (M) Nicotinic receptor (N)

- 18. Muscarinic receptors subtypes • There are 5 subtypes of muscarinic receptors: M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5 • They mediate their effects through: • G proteins coupled to - • Phospholipase C (M1,3,5), • Potassium channels (M2,4)
- 19. Nicotinic receptor location • Sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia • Adrenal medulla • Neuromuscular junction of the skeletal muscle • Central nervous system
