AGENTS THAT DONT LIKE CHOLINERGIC RECEPTOR - CHOLINERGIC ANATAGONISTS

Cholinergic anatagonist/ cholinergic blocker/Parasympathetolytic/Anticholinergic 
/Antimuscarinic 

These agents selectively block muscarinic receptors of parasympathomimetic nerves 

Atropine= tertiary amine…Belladona alkaloid…Hyocyamine active isomer

MOA:

bind competitively prevent Ach from binding to those receptor act both centrally and peripherally

PHARMACOLGY, PHARMACOKINETICS, PHARMACODYNAMICS, AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM, ANTICHOLINERGIC, CHOLINOCEPTORS. LIPINCOTT, SCREENIG TEST, AKUH,

Effects 

Produce Cycloplegia; inability to focus near vision….unresponsive to light

Mydriasis : dilation of pupil by contracting radial muscle & dilating ciliary muscle 

Antispadmodic: reduce activity of GIT 

Tachycardia, reduce the hypermotility of urinary bladder, secretions increase temp.of 

body can be dangerous in childern and elderly 

T.E:

measurement of Refractive error 

Antispasmodic

antidote for cholinergic agonist 

Antisecretery

healing of peptic ulcer

S.E

blurred vision, sandy eyes, Dilirium, hallucination..

Classification: 

Antimuscarinic agents Atropine, Benztropine, Cyclopentolate 

Darifenacin, Solifenacin, 

Fesoterodine, Tolterodine 

Ipratropium, Tiotropium, tropicamide, 

Trihexyphenidyl, Trospium chloride

SCOPOLAMINE, Oxybutynin, 

Ganglionic blockers Mecamylamine,Nicotine 

Neuromuscular blocker Atracurium, Cistracurium, Pancrunium,

Rocuronium, Vecuronium,

Tiotropium used O.D….Ipratropium 4 times a day

Tropicamide & Cyclopentolate= ophthalmic soln. for mydriasis & cycloplegic…

Benztropine & Trihexyphenidyl= treatment of Parkinson disease

Darifenacin, Fesoterodine,Oxybutynin, Solifenacin, Tolterodine, Trospium chloride

Used in overactive bladder oxybutynin available as transdermal patch..

GANGLIONIC BLOCKERS

Act on Nicotinic receptors of both Parasympathetic & Sympathetic autonomic ganglia

Nicotine at lower dose, stimulate the receptor…at higher dose, block the receptor

cause paralysis…increased release of neurotransmitter (Dopamine & Norepinephrine )

Increased peristalsis secretions…suppress appetite..

Mecamylamine competitive blocker of ganglia…

NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGS

These drugs block the transmission of Ach b/w motor nerve endings and nicotinic receptors on the neuromuscular end plate of skeletal muscle

Non-depolarising (competitive) blocker

Include Tubocurarine, Atracurium, Vancronium, Rocuronium

MOA: 

interact with nicotinic receptor prevent the binding of Ach..

depolarization. muscle contraction . At higher dose they block the ion channel of the endplate..

Can overcome by increasing conc. Of Ach.

Blockade of skeletal muscle of 1st Face,eye,Limb,Neck,Trunk,Diphragm at last

T.E:

As Adjuvant in Anaesthesia during surgery..in orthopedic surgery..in intubation

S.E:

Atracurium releases Histamine and metabolite Laudanosine which can provoke

Seizure….Hyperkalemia..Increased intraocular pressure..Hyperthermia

Cisatracurium =metabolite Atracurium..suitable in renal failure..useful in mechanical

ventilation

Depolarizing Agents

Succinylcholine

Scopolamine is Antimotion sickness…block short-term memory…susceptible to abuse 

…with morphine in obstetrics to produce Amnesia & sedation 

Ipratropium & Tiotropium:

 Quaternary derivative of atropine..used in inhaled form.. 

Bronchodilators for brochospasm…in COPD

MOA:

bind with receptor instead of Ach…causes opening of Na+

channels...depolarization..twitching of muscles (Fasciculation)..continuous 

depolarization weakened the muscle...followed by flaccid paralysis..PHASE I

Memb.repolarize...but receptor desensitized..no response toAch..PHASE II

T.E:

 in anaesthesia.. in electroconvulsive shock treatment 

S.E

Hyperthermia ( muscle rigidity, tachycardia, metabolic acidosis, hyperpyrexia).. 

Treated by Dantrolene ..it block Ca++ ions..ϴheat production 

Apnea due to paralysis of diaphragm muscles..Hyperkalemia
