2.2.2 Cholinergic Receptors

On the basis of bound by naturally occurring alkaloids nicotine and muscarine.
(a) Nicotinic Receptors (N): (Ligand gated ion channels)
(b) Muscarinic Receptors (M): (G-protein coupled receptors)
Nicotinic receptors coupled directly to ion channels, the major role of nicotinic receptors is to
control hypertension. Whereas muscarinic receptors play an essential role in stimulating secretion
of salivary gland, sweat gland, contraction of gut, relaxation of smooth muscles and heart muscles.

Step 6: Glucose is converted to Ach by pyruvate intermediate in mitochondria and release by acetyl

Step 7: With low affinity uptake system choline is taken up in neurons.

2.2.5. Action of Cholinesterase Inhibitors

It is another means to produce an autonomic response to interfere with the synthesis of acetylcholine
by which action of the neurotransmitter is terminated in the parasympathetic nervous system.
However, action of Ach is terminated by its rapid hydrolysis by acetylcholine esterase enzyme to
acetic acid and choline moiety. Inhibition of AchE therefore increases the conc. of Ach in the
synapse and results in generation of both muscarinic as well as nicotinic responses.

2.2.6 Structural Activity Relationship (SAR) of Musarinic Agonist/Cholinomimetics

There are three components in the lead structure of cholinomimetics shown below to examine the
effects of chemical modification of each group.
(A) Modification of Acyloxy Group
(i) It has been observed that introduction of higher homologus of methyl groups like propionyl
or butyryl groups are less active.
Autonomic Nervous System Cholinergic Drugs and Adrenergic Agents 31
(ii) Esterification of aryl acids shows cholinergic antagonist activity.
(iii) Methyl esters of acyloxy group are rapidly hydrolysed by cholinesterase to choline and
acetic acid. To avoid from hydrolysis, carbamate esters of choline (carbachol) were synthesized
and found to be more stable than esters that can be administered orally.

(iv) Replacement of ester group with ether or keton generate chemically stable and potent
compound.
(B) Modification of Ethylene Bridge
(i) It has been observed that increase in the chain length results in decreasing the muscarinic
activity. No more than five atoms are required between nitrogen atom and terminal hydrogen
for maximal muscarinic activity.
(ii) Introduction of a methyl group on carbon beta to quaternary nitrogen atom afford methacholine
(acetyl-b-methylcholine), which is equipotent to Ach. While at a carbon to quaternary nitrogen
atom, reduces the activity at nicotinic receptor as well as muscarinic receptor.
(C) Modifiction of Quaternary Ammonium Group
(i) It is essential for activity.
(ii) If nitrogen is replaced by arylring, phosphorus and sulfur it results in less active compounds.
(iii) Replacement of methyl group by ethyl or large alkyl group produces inactive compounds.

2.2.7 Cholinomimetic Agents

(1) Methacholine (Provocholine
®
): Methacholine is marketed as recemic mixture. It is selective
muscarinic receptor agonist its S-(+)-enantiomers is 240 times more potent than R-(-) isomers at
muscarinic receptor.
Uses: Methacholine is used in the treatment of asthma as bronchodilators.

(3) Pilocarpine (Isoptocarpine)
®
: Pilocarpine is a natural product obtained from the leaves of
pilocarpus jaborandi. It is muscarinic agonist. It is marketed as an ophthalmic preparation like
solution, gel, tablet and ocusert delivery system. It is chemically unstable to alkali (hydrolysis) and
due to epimerization in the lactone ring to isopilocarpine.
(4) Physostigmine: Physostigmine is assumed to be a classical AchE inhibitor. It is an alkaloid
obtained from the seed of calabar beans, Phystostigma venenosum.
It acts as an antidote for atropine poisoning and in the treatment of glucoma.

2.2.8 Anticholinergic/Cholinergic Blocking Agents/Parasympatholytics/Antispasmodics
Agents/Muscarinic Receptors Antagonist
Definition
Muscarinic antagonists are those compounds which have high binding affinity for muscarinic
receptors but have no intrinsic activity at the smooth muscles, secretory cells, and certain central
synapses.
Mechanism of Action
There are two approaches to treat the condition characterized by overstimulation of cholinergic
nerves, one is to inhibit the synthesis or release of Ach and second to block the Ach from with the
receptors competitively. These agents cause decreased gastric secretion, dry mouth and mucous
membrane, mydriasis, loss of accommodation, urinary-retention, bronchial and biliary dilation.
