General
These are chemical messengers
Neurotransmitter
This neurotransmitter is the most likely to be affected by recreational drugs and is involved in rewards and learning
Dopamine
Drug used as an antidote in patients suffering from intoxication by cholinergic agonists?
Atropine
These drugs are serotonin agonists and some are norepinephrine agonists and can help with many different disorders
Antidepressants
Barbiturates increase the duration of GABA channel due to the binding of _____ and ________ GABA receptor subunit
Alpha and beta
This mimics the job of a neurotransmitter and binds to the active site, producing a response
Agonist
This is the most prominent inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain
GABA
Beta receptor antagoists are antihiperternsives, antiarrhytmics and atiheart failure. Which of the following drugs is a nonselective beta receptor antagonist?
Propanolol
This class of medications are used to treat schizophrenia
Anti-psychotics
Some of the first medications used in psychiatry for the treatment of depression and anxiety had severe side effects when the patient would ingest Tyramine, an aminoacid, from food sources or wine. Which drug class has this side effects?
IMAO
This blocks the activation of certain receptors on cells and stops a response
Antagonist
This neurotransmitter has roles in sleep, mood, anxiety and hunger
Serotonin
This drug is used for asthma. Which of the following drug agonist is beta 2 direct acting?
Salmeterol, Salbutamol, Albuterol
These help with anxiety and PTSD
Anxiolytics
Which neurotransmitter system is affected by buspirone, a non-benzodiazepine anxiolytic drug?
Buspirone
These are substances that are not produced in the body
Exogenous
Too much of this neurotransmitter can cause seizures
Glutamate
This drug is an alpha 1 selective adrenergic antagonist. It is use for peripheral blood vessel dilation
Prazosin
There are drugs that increase serotonergic neurotransmission due to a blockade for the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT).
Fluoxetine, Citalopram, sertraline
Beta 1,2 and 3 non-selective adrenergic agonist
Isoproterenol
Drugs of this group interacting through reversible, noncovalent association with the active site of AChE (Acetylcholinesterase).
Indirect agonists
Reserpine interfeers with the load of this neurotransmitter onto presinaptic vacicles
Norepineprine
Cholinergic direct muscarinic agonists have many effects like bradycardia, increase the gastric secretion, miosis, salivation among others.
Pilocarpine, bethanecol, cabachol, Methacholine
What is the name of a sedative and hyptnotic drug that belongs to long-actnig barbiturates?
Phenobarbital
Dopamine is ligand for D1 to D5 receptors, drugs against psychotic dissorders targets this clinical relevant receptor subtype
D2
