Drugs Affecting ANS

Cholinergic Drugs

1. Cholinergic Agonist:

Direct Acting:

Cholinergic agonists (also known as parasympathomimetics) mimic the effects of acetylcholine by binding directly to cholinoceptors.

Acetylcholine, Pilocarpine, Bethanecol, Carbachol.

Indirect Acting:

Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that specifically cleaves acetylcholine to acetate and choline and, thus, terminates its actions. Inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase indirectly provide a cholinergic action by prolonging the lifetime of acetylcholine.

Physostigmine, Neostigmine, Ecothiophate, Rivastigmine, Tacrine.

Reactivation of Actylcholine-esterase:

Pralidoxime.

2. Cholinergic Antagonist:

Antimuscarinic:

Page 30: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم - WordPress.com …  · Web viewThey may contain different excipients. Pharmaceutical Alternatives: If two drugs contain same drug molecule

Commonly known as antimuscarinics, these agents block muscarinic receptors, causing inhibition of all muscarinic functions.

Atropine, Scopolamine, Ipratropium.

Ganglionic Bolckers:

Ganglionic blockers specifically act on the nicotinic receptors of both parasympathetic and sympathetic autonomic ganglia. Except for nicotine, the other drugs mentioned in this category are nondepolarizing, competitive antagonists.

Mecylamine, Nicotine.

Neuromuscular Bolckers:

These neuromuscular blockers are structural analogs of acetylcholine, and they act either as antagonists (nondepolarizing type) or agonists (depolarizing type) at the receptors on the end plate of the neuromuscular junction. Neuromuscular blockers are clinically useful during surgery for producing complete muscle relaxation

Atracurium, Doxacurium, Succinylcholine, Tubocurarine.

Adrenergic Drugs

1. Agrenergic Agonist:

Direct Acting:

These drugs act directly on α or β receptors, producing effects similar to those that occur following stimulation of sympathetic nerves or release of the hormone epinephrine from the adrenal medulla.

Dopamine, Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, Phenylephrine, Sameterol, Terbutaline.

Indirect Acting:

These agents, which include amphetamine, cocaine and tyramine, may block the uptake of norepinephrine (uptake blockers) or are taken up into the presynaptic neuron and cause the release of norepinephrine from the cytoplasmic pools or vesicles of the adrenergic neuron. As with neuronal stimulation, the norepinephrine then traverses the synapse and binds to the α or β receptors.

Amphetamine, Cocaine, Tyramine.

Mixed:

Capacity both to stimulate adrenoceptors directly and to release norepinephrine from the adrenergic neuron.

Ephedrine, Pseudoephedrine.

2. Adrenergic Antagonist:

α -Blockers:

Drugs that block α-adrenoceptors profoundly affect blood pressure.

Doxazocin, Prazocin, Terazocin, Tamsulosin.

Page 31: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم - WordPress.com …  · Web viewThey may contain different excipients. Pharmaceutical Alternatives: If two drugs contain same drug molecule

Β - Blockers:

All the clinically available B-blockers are competitive antagonists. Nonselective B-blockers act at both B1 and B2 receptors, whereas cardioselective B antagonists primarily block B1 receptors.

Atenolol, Esmolol, Labetalol, Pindolol.

NT Uptake or Release:

Guanethidine, Reserpine.

CNS Drugs

Anti-Parkinsonism Drugs:

The disease is correlated with destruction of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra.

CNS Stimulants:

a. Psychomotor Stimulants:

Psychomotor stimulants, cause excitement and euphoria, decrease feelings of fatigue, and increase motor activity.

Amphetamine, Cocaine, Caffeine, Theobromine.

b. Hallucinogens:

The hallucinogens, or psychotomimetic drugs, produce profound changes in thought patterns and mood, with little effect on the brainstem and spinal cord.

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, Tetrahydro Cannabinol.

e. MAO Inhibitors:

The MAO inhibitors may irreversibly or reversibly inactivate the mitochondrial enzyme (gut and liver), permitting neurotransmitter molecules to escape degradation and, therefore, to both accumulate within the presynaptic neuron and leak into the synaptic space.

Phenelzine, Selegiline.

f. Anti-Mania & Bipolar Disorders:

Valproic Acid, Lithium Salts.

Anti-Epileptics:

By a variety of mechanisms, including blockade of voltage-gated channels (Na+ or Ca2+), enhancement of inhibitory GABAergic impulses, or interference with excitatory glutamate transmission.

b. Typical but high potency:

Haloperidol, Thiothixene.

c. Atypical:

Clozapine, Olanzapine, Risperidone.

Biopharm Concepts

Metabolism can happen in two phases.

Phase I reactions involve hydrolysis, oxidation and reduction (results in low hydrophilicity).

Phase II reactions involve glucoronidation, sulfonation, acetylation, methylation, conjugation with glutathione or amino acids(cause high hydrophilicity).

Phase I may or may not precede Phase II.

Clearance is the volume of plasma cleared off drug per unit time. Its unit is ml/min.

Pharmacokinetics involves the movement of drug or its metabolites into or out of the body and also evaluates its metabolism rates.

Zero order kinetics is independent of drug concentrations; usually seen when reaction system is saturated.e.g Metabolism of Phenytoin, Constant rate IV Infusion.

In First order kinetics rate of drug elimination at particular time is directly proportional to the amount of drug in the body at that time; Semi Logarithmic plot of Plasma Drug Conc vs time is a straight line.

Elimination rate constant, Vd, clearance and half life are independent of the dose of the drug.

Page 55: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم - WordPress.com …  · Web viewThey may contain different excipients. Pharmaceutical Alternatives: If two drugs contain same drug molecule

First order kinetics is also known as monoexponential kinetics; in which rate of reaction is directly proportional to the drug concentration in the reaction.

Mixed Order Kinetics depends on the dose of the drug and are thus known as Dose Dependant or Non-Linear Kinetics. Generally described by Michelis Menten Equation.

Biopharm Concepts

Pharmacokinetic Models are imaginary compartments.

Central Compartment represents plasma and tissues which rapidly equilibrate with drugs.

Peripheral Compartments represents tissues or organs which equilibrate slowly.

Number and site of compartments is determined by the blood perfusion capacity and drug physicochemical properties.

Michelis Menten Equation:

-dc = Vmax x C

dt Km + C

Plasma albumin has 4 binding sites .i.e Warfarin, Diazepam, Tamoxifen, Digoxin.

Total body tissue comprises 40% of the total body.

Pharmaceutical Equivalents: If two drugs contain same amount of active ingredient in same dosage form. They may contain different excipients.

Pharmaceutical Alternatives: If two drugs contain same drug molecule but in different chemical form e.g different salt or strength.

Bioavailability: Rate and extent to which a drug is absorbed from the site of administration and become available at the site of action.

Bioeuivalence: Drugs showing same bioavailability are said to be bioequivalent.

Essentially Similar Product: A copy of the research or Innovator Product. (ME 2)

Biopharm Concepts

Therapeutic Equivalents: If two drugs provide the same desired therapeutic effect with same safety and efficacy.

Cmax: Maximum Drug Plasma concentration partly depends on the rate of release of drug from the formulation.

Tmax: Time required to reach maximum Plasma drug concentration; also dependant on rate of drug release.

T1/2: Elimination half life.

Mean Residence Time (MRT): Time a drug molecule spends in the body before it gets excreted out.

Page 56: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم - WordPress.com …  · Web viewThey may contain different excipients. Pharmaceutical Alternatives: If two drugs contain same drug molecule

Metabolism reactions are also said to be Bioactivation reactions.

Metabolism is basically involved in converting a drug more hydrophilic to facilitate its excretion from the body.
