Overview- Indirect cholinergic agonism (AchE inhibition)
- Muscarinic antagonism (emphasis on drugs and organ effects)
- Nicotine-Ach receptor (emphasis on drugs and therapeutics)
Indirect cholinergic agonistsInhibitors of acetylcholinesterase
Increase acetylcholine concentration and lifetime by inhibiting degradation
Act by binding to AchE active site causing reversible(non covalent) or long lasting (covalent modification)
Mechanisms of indirect agonism- Quaternary alcohols (ephodronium) reversible binding (limit acetylcholine access)
Non covalent enzyme-inhibitor complex lifetime (2 - 10 minutes)
Carbamate esters neostigmine, physostigmine reaction with AchE active site
Covalent carbamoylation enzyme-inhibitor complex lifetime (0.5 - 6h)
Organophosphates Parathion, Sarin, Soman - phophorylates AchE active site
Covalent phosphorylation very stable enzyme-inhibitor complex, days (especially after aging)

Treatment of organophosphate poisoning1 - maintenance of vital signs (respiration particularly important)
2 - Decontamination (to avoid further absorption)
3 - Atropine parenterally (to minimize muscarinic effects) as required
4 - Rescue of AchE activity with Hydroxylamines (Pralidoxime, Diacetylmonoxime)
Muscarinic antagonismAttropa belladona
Muscarinic AntagonistsATROPINESCOPOLAMINE
Muscarinic AntagonistsATROPINESCOPOLAMINEAttropa belladona Atropine and Scopolamine are belladona alkaloids (competitive inhibitors)
Drugs differ in their CNS effects, scopolamine permeates the blood-brain barrier
At therapeutic doses atropine has negligible effects upon the CNS, scopolamine even at low doses has prominent CNS effects.
Mechanism of drug actionCompetitively block muscarinic receptors
- Salivary, bronchial, and sweat glands aremost sensitive to atropine
- Smooth muscle and heart are intermediatein responsiveness
In the eye, causes pupil dilation and difficulty for far vision accomodation
Relaxation of the GI, slows peristalsis
History/sourcesAtropa belladona - used in the renaissanceDeadly nightshade - used in the middle ages to produce prolonged poisoning
Jimson plant leaves burned in India to treat Asthma (1800) purification of atropine (1831)
Effect of muscarinic inhibitor in the eyePupil dilation vs accomodation
Effect of muscarinic inhibition in the heart and salivary glands Increases the heart rate after a transient bradychardia at the low dose Diminishes gland excretory function

Toxicity of muscarinic antagonistsDRY AS BONE, RED AS A BEET, MAD AS HATTER.
Dry is a consequence of decreased sweating, salivation and lacrimation
Red is a result of reflex peripheral (cutaneous) vasodilation to dissipate heat (hyperthermia)
Mad is a result of the CNS effects of muscarinic inhibition which can lead to sedation, amnesia (hypersensitivity), or hallucination

Clinical usesAdjuvant use in surgical anesthesia (muscular relaxation)
Advantage much lighter levels of anesthesia required
Other uses: muscular relaxation for orthopedics (correction of dislocation/alignment of fractures)
(short duration) facilitate intubation, laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy, esophagoscopy
Control of muscular spasms, strabism, hemifacial spasms, oromandibular and cervical dystonia, spasms of the lower esophageal sphincter

Precautions/Toxicity- Prolonged apnea, cardiovascular collapse
Sequence of paralysis : Eye muscles, Jaw, Larynx, limbs and trunk, intercostal muscles and the dyaphragm
Generally caused by diminished esterase activity, renal malfunction, liver insufficiency, poor circulatory function.
Special caution in patients with electrolyte imbalance (K+)
Antidote : Neostigmine/Ephodronium to increase Ach, and atropine to block Ach muscarinic stimulation.
Malignant hyperthermia results from a discharge of Ca2+, exacerbated muscular action tachycardia, hyperthermia, acidosis and rigidity (mutations of RYR1, central core disease) treated with Dantrolene, preservation of respiration
