Directly and Indirectly Acting Cholinomimetics
Cholinomimetic drugs can elicit some or all of the effects that acetylcholine (ACh) produces. This class of drugs includes agents that act directly as agonists at cholinoreceptors and agents that act indirectly by inhibiting the enzymatic destruction of endogenous ACh (i.e., cholinesterase inhibitors).The directly acting cholinomimetics can be subdivided into agents that exert their effects pri...
متن کاملHuman β-defensin 2 is a novel opener of Ca2+-activated potassium channels and induces vasodilation and hypotension in monkeys.
Human β-defensin 2 (HBD2) is a cysteine-rich cationic antimicrobial peptide known for its important role in innate immune system. Intensive studies have demonstrated its antimicrobial and chemotactic activities in vitro. In this study, ELISA analysis showed that HBD2 was significantly downregulated in sera of patients with hypertension. It relaxed vessel smooth muscle by acting on the major reg...
متن کاملDriving with no brakes: molecular pathophysiology of Kv7 potassium channels.
Kv7 potassium channels regulate excitability in neuronal, sensory, and muscular cells. Here, we describe their molecular architecture, physiological roles, and involvement in genetically determined channelopathies highlighting their relevance as targets for pharmacological treatment of several human disorders.
متن کاملContribution of Kv7 channels to natriuretic peptide mediated vasodilation in normal and hypertensive rats.
The Kv7 family of voltage-gated potassium channels are expressed within the vasculature where they are key regulators of vascular tone and mediate cAMP-linked endogenous vasodilator responses, a pathway that is compromised in hypertension. However, the role of Kv7 channels in non-cAMP-linked vasodilator pathways has not been investigated. Natriuretic peptides are potent vasodilators, which oper...
متن کاملCardiovascular KCNQ (Kv7) potassium channels: physiological regulators and new targets for therapeutic intervention.
Potassium channels play an important role in electrical signaling of excitable cells such as neurons, cardiac myocytes, and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In particular, the KCNQ (Kv7) family of voltage-activated K(+) channels functions to stabilize negative resting membrane potentials and thereby opposes electrical excitability. Of the five known members of the mammalian Kv7 family, Kv7...
