Monamines part 2

?
the two major noradrenergic nuclei
locus coeruleus, caudal raphe nuclei
1 of 35
Describe the locus coeruleus projections
project to the frontal cortex, thalamus, hypothalamus and limbic system. also back to the cerebellum
2 of 35
Describe the projection of the caudal raphe nuclei
ascend to the amygdala and descend through the spinal cord
3 of 35
What are these two nuclei involved in
arousal and mood
4 of 35
How is noradrenaline formed
Dopamine B hydroxylase acts on dopamine to form noradrenaline
5 of 35
How is noradrenaline metabolised
COMT and MAOa, in either order
6 of 35
if COMT acts first what do you get
normetanephrine, and then vaillylmandelic acid, secreted in urine.
7 of 35
if MAOa acts first what do you get
dihydroxymadelic acid,then vanillymandelic acid
8 of 35
How does noradrenaline get back into the terminal
NET
9 of 35
What is the NET transporter like
Na, Cl- dependant symporter. 12 TMD, 620 amino acids.
10 of 35
Blockers of the NET
Nisoxetine, desipramine, atomoxetine, cocaine.
11 of 35
How is noradrenaline taken into the vesicle
VMAT2
12 of 35
The types of adrenergic receptors
a1, a2, b1, b2.
13 of 35
What is the presynaptic effect of a1 receptor activation
depolarisation and burst firing,
14 of 35
What is the presynaptic effect of a2 receptor activation
Inhibit transmitter release Inhibit voltage dependent Calcium channels Inhibit adenylate cyclase
15 of 35
What is the POST synaptic action of A1 receptor activcation
activate PLC Increase IP3 and DAG, by Gq/11 coupling.
16 of 35
What is the post synaptic action of A2 binding
iInhibit adenylate cyclase Activate K+ channels ↑K+ efflux, by Gi/go coupling
17 of 35
Post synaptic effect of B1 and B2 binding.
Activate adenylate cyclase ↑cAMP by Gs coupling
18 of 35
Drugs that displace NA and reduce NA uptake
amphetamines and methylphenidate.
19 of 35
How does cocaine affect noradrenaline
inhibits NET transporter.
20 of 35
Noradrenaline agonists
isoprenaline, salbutamol, phenylephrine, clonidine
21 of 35
antagonists at NA receptors
Phentolamine. Prazocin, Yohimbine, practolol, butoxamine
22 of 35
SEROTONIN - What's it's distribution in the CNS like
it resembles NA
23 of 35
Principle serotonergic nuclei
rostral and caudal raphe nuclei. Sleep, wakefullness, mood, hallucinations, behaviour, feeding.
24 of 35
How is serotonin formed
from Tryptophan, catalyised to 5 hydroxytryptophan by tryptophan hydroxylase.
25 of 35
What then acts on 5 hydroxytryptophan
Aromatic amino acid decarboxylase AADC. this makes 5-hydroxytryptamine.
26 of 35
How is 5-HT broken down
by MAOIa, into 5-HIAA
27 of 35
How is 5-HT transported back into the terminal
SERT
28 of 35
How many Serotonin receptors are there
11, 1a-7
29 of 35
Which one is the odd one out
5HT-3, it's a ligand gated cation channel, not a GPCR
30 of 35
What are 5ht-1 coupled to
Gi/go decrease camp
31 of 35
what are 5ht-2 coupled to
gq/g11 ip3 increase, ca2 increase
32 of 35
two antagonists at the 5ht3 receptor.
ondansetron, tropisetron, used as antiemetics and anxiolytics.
33 of 35
agonist at the 1d recetpor
Sumatriptan - used for migraine
34 of 35
Fenfluramine
Was used as an anti obesity drug, it increase 5ht release to promote fullness.
