Study Notes
Anti-Muscarinic Drugs
- The primary mechanism of action of anti-muscarinic drugs is blocking the action of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors.
Muscle Relaxation
- Sulfurcontaining compounds, such as succinylcholine, are used in surgery to produce complete muscle relaxation.
Ophthalmic Effects
- Atropine causes mydriasis (dilatation of pupil) and cycloplegia (relaxation of the ciliary muscle).
Prototype for Parasympatholytics
- Atropine is considered as a prototype for parasympatholytics.
Exocrine Glands
- The most sensitive exocrine gland to the effects of anti-muscarinic drugs is the salivary gland.
Synthetic Anti-Muscarinic Drugs
- Ipratropium is a synthetic anti-muscarinic drug.
Administration Route
- The primary route of administration for Ipratropium is inhalation.
Central Stimulant Effects
- Scopolamine, obtained from the Hyoscyamus niger plant, has central stimulant effects.
- The effect associated with the central stimulant effects of Atropine is agitation.
Experimental Pharmacology
- Quaternary ammonium compounds are primarily used in experimental pharmacology as anti-muscarinic drugs.
Toxic Doses
- The effect NOT associated with toxic doses of anti-muscarinic drugs is hyposecretion.
- The effect associated with toxic doses of anti-muscarinic drugs is delirium.
Ophthalmic and Exocrine Effects
- Atropine causes both mydriasis (dilatation of pupil) and cycloplegia (relaxation of the ciliary muscle).
- The primary effect of anti-muscarinic drugs on exocrine glands at low doses is decrease in secretions.
