Drug acting on ANS

👩‍⚕️ Course Introduction:

Welcome to "Drug Acting on ANS" - a deep dive into the intricate world of adrenergic agonists and antagonists! This course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how these critical agents interact with the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), particularly focusing on the adrenergic receptors.

What You'll Learn:

🔥 Adrenergic Agonists:

• The role of the five main adrenergic receptor types: α1, α2, β1, β2, and β3, along with their subtypes.
• How broad-spectrum agonists like epinephrine and norepinephrine work.
• The significance of more selective agonists in pharmacology.

🔬 Adrenergic Antagonists:

• An overview of the two groups of adrenergic receptors: α (α1 and α2) and β (β1, β2, and β3).
• The effects of α-adrenergic vs. β-adrenergic antagonists on the body's responses.
• The mechanisms behind competitive antagonism and how it differs from other types of antagonism.

💥 Mechanisms of Action:

• Understand the downstream responses activated by α1, α2, and β receptors.
• Explore the uptake and storage mechanisms that terminate adrenergic signaling.
• Discover how monoamine oxidase and catechol-o-methyl transferase affect the lifespan of catecholamines.

🔋 Drug Applications:

• Learn about both direct and indirect acting adrenergic agonists.
• Examine how drugs can affect adrenergic receptors, uptake, and storage mechanisms.
• Explore the latest developments in dual-acting alpha and beta antagonists.
