Ganglionic blocking compounds
nicotine, lobeline

Peripheral Nervous System: Neurotransmitters & Receptors
CNS
nicotinic receptor
nicotinic receptor
muscarinic receptor
adrenergic receptor
Sympathetic
Parasympathetic
Somatic Motor
nicotinic and muscarinic receptors = cholinergic receptors

Ganglionic Blocking Compounds
• A high dose of nicotine or lobeline (nicotinic cholinergic receptor agonists) can overstimulate ganglionic receptors
• persistent depolarization of autonomic ganglia: autonomic ganglionic blocade
• triggers further release of epinephrine by adrenal medulla, which leads to vasoconstriction and potentiation of ganglionic blockade
![Page 5: Autonomic Nervous System II](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815c2a550346895dca0235/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Ganglionic Blocking Compounds
Two phases of autonomic ganglionic blocade:• Stimulatory phase:– constriction of capillaries and arterioles– increase in blood pressure– sweating
• Paralytic phase:– decrease in blood pressure…40 mg of nicotine (amount extracted from 2
cigarettes) can cause fatal ganglionic blocade if it is injected (when smoked most nicotine is degraded)

Nicotiana tabacum
• Active compound: nicotine (alkaloid)
• Mechanisms of action:– CNS stimulant– stimulates acetylcholine
release in autonomic ganglia at juncture of pre- and post-ganglionic neurons
![Page 9: Autonomic Nervous System II](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815c2a550346895dca0235/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Therapeutic uses of nicotine (not recommended due to the addictive nature of nicotine)– enhancement of athletic performance– improvement of short-term memory / mental
functioning

Compounds That Target the Sympathetic Nervous System
![Page 14: Autonomic Nervous System II](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815c2a550346895dca0235/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Sympathetic Nervous System (Review)
• Catabolic system that expends (burns) energy• Nerves in this system originate from the thoraco-
lumbar regions• “Fight or flight” responses to danger:– increase in heart rate & force of ventricular contractions– shunting blood to muscles and heart– increase in sweat gland secretion– dilates pupils– dilates bronchial tubes– inhibits GI motility and secretions, contracts GI sphincters– stimulates secretion of adrenaline from adrenal medulla
![Page 15: Autonomic Nervous System II](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815c2a550346895dca0235/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Sympathetic Nervous System Adrenergic Receptors (Stimulated by Norepinephrine)
• alpha receptors – – reduce glandular secretions– reduce GI motility – increase constriction of certain arterioles and veins
• beta receptors – – increase heart rate, contractions– increase kidney renin secretion– relax trachea and bronchioles – dilate some arterioles and veins (not in skin or brain)– increase breakdown of glycogen / fats for energy
![Page 16: Autonomic Nervous System II](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815c2a550346895dca0235/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Adrenergic Agonists
Endogenous agonists of α and β adrenergic receptors:
• Epinephrine (adrenaline)– produced by adrenal medulla– released in increased amounts in response to stress– stimulates heart– dilates blood vessels going to skeletal muscle
• Norepinephrine– postganglionic adrenergic neurotransmitter– stimulates heart– constricts blood vessels in skin, mucosal surfaces, and
kidneys

![Page 19: Autonomic Nervous System II](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815c2a550346895dca0235/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Ephedra spp.• Common names: Ephedra, Mormon tea, Ma
Huang• Plant family: Ephedraceae• Plant parts used: aerial parts• Ethnomedical uses: asthma, sinusitis, stimulant• Active compound: ephedrine (alkaloid)– stimulates both α and β receptors– releases stored catecholamines (epinephrine,
norepinephrine, and dopamine)– CNS stimulant– Bronchodilator
![Page 20: Autonomic Nervous System II](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815c2a550346895dca0235/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Ephedra spp.Chemical derivatives of ephedrine:• pseudoephedrine HCl (sudafed, isophedrine)– vasoconstrictor– decongestant– longer bronchial effect & less CNS stimulation than
ephedrine• phenylpropanolamine– vasoconstrictor– decongestant
• vaponephrine– bronchiodilator to treat asthma
• salbutamol (albuterol, proventil)– bronchodilator to treat asthma
![Page 21: Autonomic Nervous System II](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815c2a550346895dca0235/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Citrus aurantium (bitter orange)
![Page 22: Autonomic Nervous System II](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815c2a550346895dca0235/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Citrus aurantium (bitter orange)
• contains synephrine alkaloids and para-octopamine (typically cited as active ingredients)
• these compounds have α-adrenergic agonist properties, and may also stimulate β receptors in the sympathetic nervous system
![Page 23: Autonomic Nervous System II](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815c2a550346895dca0235/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Citrus aurantium (bitter orange)
• effects similar to Ephedra• often added to herbal weight loss
supplements (in place of banned Ephedra)• compound responsible for weight loss is most
likely para-synephrine, also called oxedrine
![Page 24: Autonomic Nervous System II](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815c2a550346895dca0235/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Anti-adrenergic Compounds
• Ephedrine chemical derivatives are also used to create postsynaptic adrenergic receptor blockade
• used to treat hypertensiontwo classes:• β1 receptor specific competitive blockers– lopressor & tenormin
• β1β2 receptor competitive blockers– corgard, timoptic (also treats glaucoma)

Rauvolfia serpentina
![Page 27: Autonomic Nervous System II](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815c2a550346895dca0235/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Rauvolfia serpentina
• Plant family: Apocynaceae• Origin: India, Indomalasia• Habit: climbing shrub• Plant part used: root• Ethnomedical uses in Ayurvedic medicine:– sedative– tranquilizer– antipsychotic– antihypertensive
![Page 28: Autonomic Nervous System II](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815c2a550346895dca0235/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Rauvolfia serpentina
• Active compounds:– reserpine, rescinnamine, ajmalicine
• Mechanism of action:– binds storage vesicles in peripheral and central
adrenergic neurons– dysfunctional storage vesicles cause nerve endings
to lose their ability to concentrate and store catecholamines (norepinephrine and dopamine)
– has similar effect on serotonin (in CNS)
![Page 29: Autonomic Nervous System II](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815c2a550346895dca0235/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Rauvolfia serpentinaPhysiological effects of
reserpine:• reduced sympathetic
effects• reduced catecholamine
levels in CNS, heart, and PNS
• reduced serotonin levels• lowered blood pressure
due to reduced norephinephrine levels
