MUSCARINIC AGONISTS (M-CHOLINOMIMETICS)CHOLINOnegative DRUGS)
ANTICHOLINESTERASES List of drugs Reversible anticholinesterases: Neostigmine bromide, Pyridostigmine bromide Irreversible anticholinesterases: Arminum, Echothiophate Mechanism of action These drugs produce inhibition of acetylcholinesterase that results in accumulation of acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft. Neostigmine and pyridostigmine produce reversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, arminum and echothiophate produce irreversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase Pharmacological effects These drugs produce inhibition of acetylcholinesterase that results in accumulation of acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft. In this situation acetylcholine more stronger activates M- and N-cholinergic receptors and, therefore, induces aforementioned effects:
Indications 1. Glaucoma (increasing of intraocular pressure) Neostigmine, Pyridostigmine, Arminum, Echothiophate → constriction of pupil → decreasing of intraocular pressure → treating of glaucoma. This effect depends on M-cholinoreceptors. 2. Atony of GIT organs and urinary bladder Neostigmine, Pyridostigmine → increasing of motility of GIT organs and urinary bladder → treating of atony. This effect depends on M-cholinoreceptors. 3. Poor uterine contraction strength Neostigmine, Pyridostigmine → increasing of uterus contractility → inducing of labor (delivery). This effect depends on N-cholinoreceptors. 4. Myasthenia gravis (weakness of skeletal muscles) Neostigmine, Pyridostigmine → increasing of contractility of skeletal muscles → treating of myasthenia gravis This effect depends on N-cholinoreceptors.
MUSCARINIC AGONISTS (M-CHOLINOMIMETICS) List of drugs Pilocarpine hydrochloride Mechanism of action Direct stimulation of M-cholinoreceptors. Don’t stimulate N-cholinoreceptors! Pharmacological effects
Indications 1. Glaucoma (increasing of intraocular pressure) Pilocarpine → constriction of pupil → decreasing of intraocular pressure → treating of glaucoma. Date: 2015-12-18; view: 1409
