A common mnemonic used to describe the physiologic manifestations of Atropine
overdose is:
hot as a hare, blind as a bat, dry as a bone, red as a beet, and mad as a hatter!
These associations reflect the specific changes of warm, dry skin from decreased
sweating, blurry vision, decreased sweating/lacrimation, vasodilation, and central
nervous system effects on muscarinic receptors, type 4 and 5. This set of symptoms is
known as anticholinergic toxidrome, and may also be caused by other drugs with
anticholinergic effects, such as scopolamine, diphenhydramine, phenothiazine
antipsychotics and benztropine.

Resuscitation!
The action of this drug is to block the effect of the vagus nerve on the heart. This nerve normally
slows heart rate and, during cardiac arrest, is a common cause of asytole. Atropine also acts on the
conduction system of the heart and accelerates the transmission of electrical impulses through
cardiac tissue.
In cardiac arrest it is given to reverse asystole and severe bradycardia. The Resuscitation Council
recommends that atropine be given for pulseless electrical activity with a rate of less than 60 beats
per minute or in complete asystole.
This drug should be administered intravenously and the dose depends on the heart rhythm. For
bradycardia a dose of 0.5mg should be given and repeated every five minutes until a satisfactory
heart rate is achieved. In asystole a single dose of 3mg should be given and this should not be
repeated unless the cardiac rhythm changes to bradycardia or pulseless electrical activity.

PDB code: 1UDT
The mechanism of action of Sildenafil involves the protection of cyclic guanosine monophosphate
(cGMP) from degradation by cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) in the corpus
cavernosum, leading to smooth muscle relaxation (vasodilatation) of the intimal cushions of the
helicine arteries. This smooth muscle relaxation leads to vasodilation and increased inflow of blood into
the spongy tissue of the penis, causing an erection.
Other drugs that operate by the same mechanism include Tadalafil (Cialis) and Vardenafil (Levitra).
Sildenafil is metabolized by liver enzymes and excreted by both the liver and kidneys.

• Butylscopolamine is used to treat pain and discomfort caused
by abdominal cramps, menstrual cramps, or other spasmodic
activity in the digestive system. It is not an analgesic in the
normal sense, since it doesn't 'mask' or 'cover over' the pain, but
rather works to prevent painful cramps and spasms from
occurring in the first place.

Mather nature…
Duboisia and the development of Buscopan®
In the search for a safe and effective treatment for the pain of abdominal cramps,
Boehringer Ingelheim learnt from the healing arts of some of the world's oldest
cultures. Ancient Hindu physicians in India knew of the antispasmodic effects of a
relative of Duboisia: the plant Datura. Today, the Buscopan® story starts in Ingelheim,
Germany, where elite Duboisia plants are grown in greenhouses. These plants are
bred to be resistant against nematodes and beetles. The best seeds are harvested and
then delivered to the company´s plantations in South America and Australia for further
on-site selection. Here, the shrubs grow on a large scale. The pharmaceutically
important alkaloid scopolamine which is contained in the dried leaves and stalks is
isolated and purified. Finally, the active precursor substance scopolamine is converted
in a single chemical process into hyoscine butylbromide, the active ingredient of
Buscopan®.
In 1951, the new medication was ready for commercial production. Buscopan® was
launched in 1952. Today, with more than half a century of proven expertise in safe
antispasmodic effectiveness, Buscopan® is the world's leading and most trusted
treatment for abdominal pain.

Buscopan® Plus (also known as Buscapina® Compositum N in some
countries) has a dual effect. Paracetamol, a proven analgesic, reduces the pain
of uterine cramps. At the same time, Butylscopolamine relieves the painful
cramps of the colon and intestine that often accompany menstrual pain. In this
way, Buscopan® Plus quickly and effectively relieves the pain of menstrual
cramps, without interfering in the body's natural menstrual rhythm.

Tiotropium bromide
Tiotropium bromide is a muscarinic receptor antagonist, often referred to as an
antimuscarinic agent. Although it does not display selectivity for specific muscarinic
receptors, when topically applied it acts mainly on M3 muscarinic receptors located on
smooth muscle cells and submucosal glands. This leads to a reduction in smooth
muscle contraction and mucus secretion and thus produces a bronchodilatory effect.
Tiotropium bromide is a long-acting, 24 hour, bronchodilator used in the management
of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Do you remember: atropisomers?
Atropisomers are stereoisomers resulting from
hindered rotation about single bonds where
the steric strain barrier to rotation is high
enough to allow for the isolation of the
conformers. The word atropisomer is derived
from the Greek a, meaning not, and tropos,
meaning turn. The name was coined by Kuhn
in 1933, but atropisomerism was first detected
in 6,6’-dinitro-2,2’-diphenic acid by Cristie in
1922.
Telenzepine is atropisomeric, with a stereogenic C-N axis, and at 20 °C in neutral aqueous
solution it displays a half-life for racemization of the order of 1000 years. Partial separation
of the enantiomers 1 a and 1 b was achieved by exploiting their difference in affinity for
muscarinic receptors. The (−)-isomer turned out to be inactive and has a have much lower
selectivity than the (+)-isomer; a 500-fold difference in activity between the atropisomers
was seen at muscarinic receptors in rat cerebral cortex.

Tubocurarine
chloride is a competitive antagonist of nicotinic
neuromuscular acetylcholine receptors, used to paralyse patients
undergoing anaesthesia. It is one of the chemicals that can be obtained
from curare, itself an extract of Chondodendron tomentosum, a plant found
in South American jungles which is used as a source of arrow poison.
Native indians hunting animals with this poison were able to eat the animal's
contaminated flesh without being affected by the toxin because
tubocurarine cannot easily cross mucous membranes and is thus inactive
orally.
The correct chemical structure was only elucidated circa 1970, even
though the plant had been known since the Spanish Conquest.
The word curare comes from the South American Indian name for the arrow
poison: "ourare". Presumably the initial syllable was pronounced with a
heavy glottal stroke. Tubocurarine is so called because the plant samples
containing it were first shipped to Europe in tubes.
Today, tubocurarine has fallen into disuse in western medicine, as safer
synthetic alternatives such as atracurium are available. However,
tubocurarine is still used in the United States and elsewhere as part of the
lethal injection procedure.

Clinical uses
• Neuromuscular blocker for surgical operations
• Permits lower and safer levels of general anaesthetic
• Tubocurarine used as neuromuscular blocker but side effects
in particular hypotension and bronchoconstriction (by
histamine release)
• Currently, tubocurarine is rarely used as an adjunct for
clinical anesthesia because safer alternatives

Metocurine
Metocurine is a semisynthetic derivative of DTc, first synthesized by King in 1935 as part of the
work that first suggested a chemical structure for DTc. It is the N,O,O-trimethylated compound.
Unlike DTc, it is a bisquaternary molecule. Metocurine is about twice as potent as curare in
human subjects, with a similarly long duration of action. Its principal advantage over curare is its
weaker histamine-releasing property-less than one-half that of DTc. Metocurine is indicated for
longer operations (3–4 hours). Metocurine is excreted only by the kidney. It has no alternate biliary
pathway, and no metabolism occurs in the liver.

Neuromuscular blocking drugs are often classified into two broad
classes:
Pachycurares, which are bulky molecules with non-depolarizing
activity;
Leptocurares, which are thin and flexible molecules that tend to
have depolarizing activity.

Suxamethonium or succinylcholine
Suxamethonium chloride (otherwise known as succinyl chloride or “sux”) is a drug used to
create short-term muscle paralysis. The drug can effectively stop the action of all skeletal
muscles in the body in 30-60 seconds enabling doctors to perform a Tracheal Intubation
(placing a flexible plastic tube into the trachea to maintain an open airway as shown in the
diagram) without the patient struggling. The effect typically lasts 5-10 minutes meaning
that the patient does not need to have artificial breathing for too long.
The discovery and development of suxamethonium led to a Nobel Prize in
medicine for Daniel Bovet in 1957.

Adverse effects:
In addition, these drugs may exhibit cardiovascular effects, since they are
not fully selective for the nicotinic receptor and hence may have effects on
muscarinic receptors, as allosteric modulators.

Botox ® (in Italy sells as Vistabex®)
•
Researchers discovered in the 1950s that
injecting overactive muscles with minute
quantities of botulinum toxin type-A would
result in decreased muscle activity by
blocking the release of acetylcholine from
the neuron by preventing the vesicle where
the Acetylcholine is stored from binding to
the membrane where the neurotransmitter
can be released. This will render the muscle
unable to contract for up to a period of
three to four months.
