Introduction to Pharmacology of the Efferent Nervous System
1. Nervous system
Central Nervous System
peripheral nervous system
afferent nervous system
efferent nervous system
Classified by anatomy
Autonomic nervous system (vegetative sympathetic nervous system)
Innervates effectors such as internal organs, smooth muscles, and glands
parasympathetic nerve
Sympathetic nerve
motor nervous system
Motor nerves are not divided into preganglionic and postganglionic fibers, and can directly reach the skeletal muscles they control without changing their origin.
Classification by transmitter

4. Efferent nervous system receptor functions and their molecular mechanisms
Receptor-ion channel coupling
N receptors: coordination-gated ion channel-type receptors
Can be activated by neurotransmitters or agonists to open ion channels to produce effects
Nm receptor (on the skeletal muscle cell membrane at the neuromuscular junction)
ACh binds to Nm receptor → channel opens → sodium ions and calcium ions flow in → generates end plate potential
Exceeds the threshold → voltage-dependent ion channels on the cell membrane are opened → generates action potential → massive release of intracellular calcium ions → stimulates excitation-contraction coupling → muscle contraction
Nn receptors (on ganglia and adrenergic medulla)
Activated by ACh → depolarization of postganglionic neurons and medulla → release of epinephrine
receptor-enzyme coupling
M, α, and β receptors are all G protein-coupled receptors. After being activated by neurotransmitters or agonists, they trigger the signaling pathway through adenylyl cyclase and phospholipase C to produce effects.
Receptor-adenylate cyclase coupling
β-receptor activation→increased AC activity through Gs protein→↑cAMP levels→cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylates specific protein substrates→effect
α2 receptor activation → inhibits AC activity through Gi protein → ↓ intracellular cAMP → plays a role and inhibits voltage-dependent calcium channels and opens potassium channels
M2 receptor activation → inhibits AC through Gi protein → ↓cAMP → activates potassium channels and inhibits voltage-dependent calcium channels → inhibits cardiac function
Receptor-phospholipase C (PLC) coupling
After Gq protein activates PLC, it can catalyze the hydrolysis of 4,5-bisphosphoinositide (PIP2) into 1,4,5-trisphosphate inositol (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG), two messenger molecules, and then produce a series of effects
After M1 or M3 receptors are activated:
IP3 induces intra-cell calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum (calcium-induced calcium release: CICR) →↑ intra-cell calcium ion concentration
DAG activates downstream protein kinase C (PKC)
After α1 receptor activation: the mechanism is the same as M receptor
5. Biological effects of efferent nerve receptors
cholinergic receptor effects
M receptor
Mainly distributed in effector cells innervated by parasympathetic postganglionic fibers. The effect produced by stimulation of this receptor is called: M-like effect
effect
cardiovascular function depression
Stimulates the presynaptic membrane M1 of sympathetic nerve terminals, inhibits the release of NA from noradrenergic nerves, and indirectly participates in the vasodilatory and cardiac inhibitory effects of ACh.
Excites heart M2 → produces negative muscle force, negative frequency, and negative conduction
Stimulates M3 in vascular endothelial cells → ↑ NO synthesis and release → stimulates vascular smooth muscle to synthesize cGMP → vascular smooth muscle relaxation → vasodilation
Smooth muscle contraction (M3)
Excites the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, bronchus, uterus and other areas, and enhances contraction
Excites urinary tract smooth muscles: detrusor contraction, urethral sphincter relaxation
pupillary sphincter (M3) and ciliary muscle contraction (M3, β2)
Pupil constriction, adjusting to myopia
Promote glandular secretion (M3)
Increased secretion of salivary glands, sweat glands, lacrimal glands, digestive tract glands, and respiratory tract glands
N receptor
Mainly distributed in the postsynaptic membrane of autonomic ganglion neurons and the motor endplate membrane of neuromuscular junctions. The effect produced by the stimulation of this receptor is called: N-like effect
effect
High-dose ACh stimulates ganglion N1 receptors, and simultaneously stimulates postganglionic cholinergic nerves and noradrenergic nerves, but has a dominant neural determinant effect.
Gastrointestinal tract, bladder, glands – cholinergic innervation predominates
Myocardium, small blood vessels - noradrenergic nerves dominate
ACh stimulates the N1 receptor of adrenal medulla chromaffin cells - releasing epinephrine
ACh stimulates N2 receptors on the motor endplate - diffuse skeletal muscle contraction and muscle spasm
adrenergic receptor effects
The transmitter released by most sympathetic postganglionic fibers is NA, which has both excitatory and inhibitory effects on effectors. The main mechanism of different effects is the different receptors on effector cells.
alpha receptor
α1
Distributed in postsynaptic membranes such as vascular smooth muscle, heart, liver, pupillary dilator muscle, gastrointestinal tract, bladder sphincter, etc.
excited
Vascular smooth muscle, uterine smooth muscle, pupillary dilator muscle, bladder sphincter, gastrointestinal sphincter contraction
Gastrointestinal smooth muscle relaxation, ciliary muscle relaxation
α2
Distribution: presynaptic membrane of noradrenergic nerve terminals, postsynaptic membrane of blood vessels
excited
Negative feedback regulates NA release and indirectly affects effector responses
beta receptor
Acting when excited
Smooth muscle relaxation
Vasodilation, uterine relaxation, gastrointestinal smooth muscle relaxation, bronchial smooth muscle relaxation
myocardial contraction
β1
Main distribution: heart
excited → contraction
β2
Main distribution: bronchus, gastrointestinal tract, uterus, vascular smooth muscle
excited → relaxed
β3
Main distribution: adipocytes
Excitement → Promote fat metabolism
Replenish
Myocardial cells have alpha receptors and beta receptors, but beta receptors are stronger
α1 receptor stimulation → strengthened contraction force, but weaker than β1 receptor
Excitation of β1 receptors → increases heart rate, but not α1 receptors
6. Basic modes of action and classification of efferent nervous system drugs
act directly on receptors
Drugs can bind directly to cholinergic receptors or adrenergic receptors
Two functions
Agitation (mimetics or agonists)
Produces the same effect as that of nerve terminal transmitters
Antagonist (blocker or antagonist)
It produces no effect or less effect after binding, and can prevent the transmitter from binding to the receptor and produce the opposite effect to the transmitter.
influence transmitter
Affect transmitter synthesis
Alpha-methyltyrosine inhibits tyrosine hydroxylase and prevents the conversion of tyrosine to dopa
Carbidopa and benserazide inhibit peripheral dopa decarboxylase and prevent dopa from forming dopamine. They can be used as auxiliary drugs in combination with levodopa to treat Parkinson's disease.
Affects transmitter storage
Reserpine inhibits the uptake of norepinephrine by norepinephrine nerve terminal vesicles and exerts an antagonizing effect on norepinephrine nerves.
Affects transmitter release
Ephedrine and metahydroxylamine promote NA release; carbachol promotes ACh release
Guanetidine and benzyl bromide can stabilize the cell membrane of noradrenergic nerve terminals and reduce the release of NA
Affects transmitter metabolism and reuptake
Cholinesterase inhibitors can interfere with the metabolism of ACh in the body (neostigmine, organophosphates inhibit the degradation of ACh)
Desipramine, an inhibitor of cocaine ingestion
Tricyclic antidepressants are non-selective monoamine uptake inhibitors that block the reuptake of NA transmitters.
