Study Notes
Respiratory Stimulants
- Bemegride, Caffeine, and Aethymizole directly activate the respiratory center.
- Cytiton works through a mixed mechanism, not direct activation of the respiratory center.
Antitussives
- Methylmorphine Hydrochloride is a narcotic antitussive.
- Libexine, Tusuprex, and Glaucine Hydrochloride are non-narcotic antitussives.
Expectorants
- Derivatives of Ipecacuanha and Thermopsis work through a reflex mechanism.
- Sodium Benzoate, Trypsin, and Ambroxol are expectorants.
Antitussives with Peripheral Effects
- Tusuprex, Libexine, and Glaucine Hydrochloride have peripheral effects.
Sulfhydryl Groups
- Chymotrypsin does contain free sulfhydryl groups.
- Acetylcysteine, Ambroxol, Bromhexine, and Trypsin all contain free sulfhydryl groups.
- Acetylcysteine and Bromhexine are the exceptions to this statement, they do not contain free sulfhydryl groups.
Proteolytic Enzymes
- Deoxyribonuclease and Trypsin are proteolytic enzymes.
Sputum Viscosity
- Acetylcysteine, Ambroxol, Deoxyribonuclease, and Bromhexine all destroy disulfide bonds of proteoglycans to depolymerize and reduce the viscosity of sputum.
Asthma Treatment
- Methylxanthines, M-cholinoblocking agents, and Beta2-stimulants are all used in asthma treatment.
Beta2-Adrenomimics
- Isoprenaline is a non-selective beta2-adrenomimics.
- Salbutamol, Salmeterol, and Terbutaline are selective beta2-adrenomimics.
Side effects of Non-selective Beta2-Adrenomimics
- Tachycardia, Peripheral vasoconstriction, and dry mouth are side effects associated with non-selective beta2-adrenomimics.
Xanthine Bronchodilators
- Theophylline is a bronchodilator related to Xanthines.
Symptomatic Bronchodilators
- Isoprenaline, Ephedrine, and Salbutamol are symptomatic bronchodilators.
- Atropine is not a symptomatic bronchodilator.
Theophylline Properties
- Theophylline can prevent night asthmatic attacks.
Methylxanthines Mechanisms
- Methylxanthines work by inhibiting phosphodiesterase, stimulating beta2-adrenoreceptors, and inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines.
M-Cholinoblocking Agents
- Ipratropium is a M-Cholinoblocking agent used for asthma.
Theophylline Side Effects
- Increased myocardial demands for oxygen is a side effect associated with Theophylline.
Inhaled Glucocorticoids
- Triamcinolone, Beclomethasone, and Budesonide are inhaled glucocorticoids.
- Sodium Cromoglycate is not an inhaled glucocorticoid.
Membrane Stabilizing Agents
- Sodium Cromoglycate, Zafirlukast, and Montelukast are membrane stabilizing agents.
5- Lipoxygenase Inhibitors
- Zileuton is a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor.
Zileuton Prevention
- Zileuton does prevent the production of leukotrienes.
Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists

COPD Treatment
- Albuterol is a bronchodilator that would be most appropriate for initial treatment of COPD.
Acute Asthma Exacerbation
- Epinephrine is administered first to provide rapid relief of symptoms in an acute asthma exacerbation.
