Pharm Final - MOA of drug classes Flashcards

Alpha-Adrenergic Drugs
(NE)

stimulate alpha-1 receptors to contract smooth muscle

Alpha-Adrenergic Blocking Drugs

stop the synthesis, storage, release or reuptake of NE

Beta-1 Adrenergic Drugs
(EPI)

stimulates the heart

Beta-2 Adrenergic Drugs
(EPI)

brochodilation, decreases uterine contraction, and relaxes smooth muscle

Beta-1 Adrenergic Blocking Drugs

antagonize the beta effects of EPI and NE on the heart

Beta-2 Adrenergic Blocking Drugs

antagonize the beta effects of EPI and NE on the bronchi, blood
vessels, and uterus

Cholinergic Agonists

enhance signaling of ACh

Cholinergic Antagonists

decrease the parasympathetic nervous systems function

Non-depolarizing (competitive) Neuromuscular Blockers

blocks neuromuscular receptors preventing the depolarization and
contraction of a muscle cell

Depolarizing Neuromuscular Drugs

depolarize cells and then is not degraded by AChE
