Presentation Transcript
CLASSIFICATION All are competitive antagonist at M I. Natural Alkaloids:- Atropine, Hyoscine II. Semisynthetic:- Homatropine, Ipratropium Br, Tiotropium, Hyoscine Butyl Br, Atropine Methonitrate
CLASSIFICATION (contd.) III. Syntetic:- A. Mydriatics:- Cyclopentolate, Tropicamide B. Antisecretory Antispasmodic:- Methantheline, Propantheline, Clidinium, Oxyphenonium, Isopropamide, Pipenzolate, Dicyclomine, Flavoxate, Oxybutynin, Telenzepine, Pirenzepine. C. Antiparkinsonian- Trihexyphenidyl, Benztropine.
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIONS CNS:- Atropine- less entry stimulation of CNS High dose- excitation, disorientation, hallucination Hyoscine- freely enters depression of CNS of vestibular excitation- emesis Synthetic Antiparkinsonian drugs CVS:- Tachycardia due to vagal tone (Bradycardia?) Facilitation of AV conduction Blood Pressure minor change
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIONS(contd.) SMOOTH MUSCLES:- GIT- Vagus Vs. Morphine induced GNS - local mediators (5-HT, Enkephalin) Biliary tract- Weak relaxn Urinary- tone of ureter tone of fundus contraction(prostate) Bronchi- Relaxn Bronchodilation
PHARMACOLOGICALACTIONS(contd.) EYE Relaxnof circ. mus. Mydriatic Paralysis of ciliary mus . Cycloplegia, photophobia & blurring. EXOCRINE GLANDS:- secretions Salivary Sweat Bronchial Lacrimal Gastric BODY TEMPERATURE:- is Thermostat + Sweating GANGLIA:- M1 (Pirenzepine)
OTHER DRUGS Homatropine Cyclopentolate Tropicamide Hyoscine Butyl Br:- G .I. smooth muscles Atropine Methonitrate:- Oral Methantheline:- Oral, long duration Ganglion block postural hypo. Urinary retn, impotence. Propantheline:- Less S/E Oxyphenonium:- Potent antispasmodic Pirenzepine:- M1 selective (Telenzepine) Ophthalmic
OTHER DRUGS (contd.) Dicyclomine :- Direct relaxant also + antiemetic Oxybutynin :- Urinary bladder & salivation Glycopyrrolate:- Potent, rapid Flavoxate:- Analgesic, L.A. & Anticholinergic urinary pathologies Clidinium:- With chlordiazepoxide Isopropamide:- Long duration Ipratropium:- Bronchi (inhalation) Tiotropium Drotavarine:- Selective PDE4
THERAPEUTIC USES Anti-secretory:- a)GIT Hyperacidity, peptic ulcer, nervous diarrhea, IBS, Emotional b)Bronchi:- Preanaesthetic med. (Laryngeal spasm) (Glycopyrrolate) Anti-spasmodic a) Intestinal colic, biliary colic, pyloric stenosis, spasm b) Nervous diarrhea, IBS, spastic colon c) Urinary urgency, Dyspepsia, frequency, cystitis, supra-pubic pain (Tolterodine, Trospium Cl.)
THERAPEUTIC USES (contd.) Bronchial Asthma:- Ipratropium/ tiotropium low efficacy/ thickness of mucous, cf- 2 agonists Vaso-vagal syncope:- Atropine(AV block) d/t vagal stimulation Anti-parkinsonian:- Ophthalmic:- Refractory error, iridocyclitis, fundoscopicexamination- 1 ago., Antiemetic:- Motion sickness Poisonings:- mushroom poisoning, organophosphorous poisoning
