Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 5TYC
Pediatric literature has reported many cases of poisoning in children with Lomotil, an antidiarrheal medicine. Lomotil works primarily by means of the morphinelike effects of its chief ingredient, diphenoxylate, but it also contains atropine. Considering the mode of action described for atropine in Deqier Insight 15 2, why might it contribute to the antidiarrheal effect of Lomotil? In atropine poisoning, would you expect the pupils to be dilated or constricted? The skin to be moist or dry? The heart rate to be elevated or depressed? The bladder to retain urine or void uncontrollably? Explain each answer. Atropine poisoning is treated with physostigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor. Explain the rationale of tins treatment.

The respiratory symptoms of asthma result from constriction of the bronchi and bronchioles of the lungs, caused by contraction of the smooth muscle of their walls. This constriction can be reversed by raising [cAMP] in the smooth muscle. Explain the therapeutic effects of albuterol, a β-adrenergic agonisttaken (by inhalation) for asthma. Would you expect this drug to have any side effects? If so, how might one design a better drug that does not have these effects?
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released from presynaptic neurons in response to a nerve impulse and diffuses across the È synaptic cleft, or neuromuscular junction, to a receptor on another neuron or a muscle cell. The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is a pentamer containing four types of subunits, azßys. Place the events in the correct order, from the release of acetylcholine from a neuron to receptor resensitization:
-excited presynaptic neuron releases acetylcholine
-acetylcholine diffuses across synaptic cleft or neuromuscular junction
-acetylcholine is released from the binding sites
-two acetylcholine bind to a receptor; the gate opens
-small cations pass through the open pore of the receptor
-the plasma membrane of the target cell is depolarized
-two acetylcholine are tightly bound to a receptor; the gate is closed
-one acetylcholine binds to a receptor; the gate is closed.
In atropine poisoning, would you expect the pupils to be dilated or constricted? The skin to be moist or dry? The heart rate to be elevated or depressed? The bladder to retain urine or void uncontrollably?

- When the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) binds the acetylcholine receptor (a GPCR) on muscle cells, it causes them to contract. ZIGGY, a chemical analog of ACh, also binds to the same acetylcholine receptor on muscle cells, but instead causes the muscle cells to relax. For this reason, it is sometimes prescribed as a muscle relaxer. Explain in 3-4 sentences how ZIGGY could cause muscle relaxation. How can both ZIGGY and ACh bind the same GPCR? And then how can they have different effects on the cells, despite binding to the same receptor on the same cells?arrow_forwardExplain the therapeutic effects of albuterol, a beta-adrenergic agonist taken (by inhalation) for asthma.

Release of noradrenaline at a parasympathetic ganglion causes nicotinic acetylcholine receptor activation in the post-ganglionic neuron.
