Tyrosine Hydroxylase
• Tyrosine Hydroxylase is rate limiting
• An increase in sympathetic n.s. activity leads to: in NE release in NE Pool and release of feedback inhibition in Feedback inhibition (NE, PKA, PKC) in TH activity in NE synthesis
![Page 8: Adrenergic Agonists Lecture 1_Clark](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546ad3fdb4af9f616f8b50dc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Dopamine β-hydroxylase
• Found exclusively in vesicles that store NE or EPI• Lack of substrate specificity• Converts a broad range of phenylethylamines
(PEA’s) to β-hydroxylated products that can be stored.
![Page 9: Adrenergic Agonists Lecture 1_Clark](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546ad3fdb4af9f616f8b50dc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Storage and Release
Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) activation generates nerve action potentials and influx of Ca++ at the nerve terminus that stimulates
-NE and EPI (100:1) release from the presynaptic postganglionic neuron into the synaptic compartment: mechanism is termed Stimulus Secretion-Coupling (or exocytosis).
-EPI and NE release (85:15) from the Adrenal Medulla Chromaffin Granules (remember that stimulation of preganglionic nerves cause release of Ach that activates nicotinic AChR on the adrenals). Mechanism of release is similar to stimulus secretion coupling and catecholamines are emptied into the blood stream.
Note: ATP is present in vesicles at high concentration and plays significant but ill understood roles following activation of purinergic receptors (there are many).

INTERACTION WITH EFFECTOR CELL
![Page 12: Adrenergic Agonists Lecture 1_Clark](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546ad3fdb4af9f616f8b50dc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Termination of NE Action
• Reuptake into adrenergic neurons: Two step uptake; uptake I (PM) and vesicular uptake
• NE feedback inhibition on α2-adrenergic receptors; blocks release of NE
• Diffusion from site of action and uptake at non- neuronal sites (uptake II)
• Inactivation by catechol-o-methyl transferase (COMT) and monoamine oxidase (MAO)
• Desensitization of NE action on the effector cell
![Page 13: Adrenergic Agonists Lecture 1_Clark](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546ad3fdb4af9f616f8b50dc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

NE transporter (uptake 1)
• Requires Na+ and ATP• Active process
• Steriospecific (l-NE); Km about 1.0 M
• Works against a concentration gradient• Many compounds are good substrates (EPI, NE,
DA, tyramine (TA), PEA, guanethidine, amphetamine
![Page 16: Adrenergic Agonists Lecture 1_Clark](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546ad3fdb4af9f616f8b50dc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

NE Uptake 1 Inhibitors potentiate sympathetic stimulation
• Cocaine: -competitive inhibitor of NE uptake-relatively non-specific; blocks serotonin (5HT) and dopamine reuptake
• Tricyclic antidepressantsdesipramine (NE selective) imipramine (tofranil)amitryptyline (elavil), relatively 5HT selectivefloxetine (Prozac), blocks DA, NE and
serotonin uptake
![Page 19: Adrenergic Agonists Lecture 1_Clark](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546ad3fdb4af9f616f8b50dc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Vesicular uptake system and inhibitors
• Vesicular uptake an active process requiring Mg and ATP• Uptake of catechols is non-specific; works for NE, EPI,
DA as well; • Inhibitor: Reserpine, an alkaloid from the roots of
Rauwolfia serpentina originally used as an anti-psychotic– Blocks the ability of vesicles to take up and store
biogenic amines NE, dopamine, 5HT – Essentially irreversible in action– Once used to treat hypertensionGuanethidine: somewhat similar drug is taken up and
concentrated in nerve endings and interferes with stimulus secretion coupling-bad side effects

Monoamine Oxidase and Inhibitors
• Converts catechols to aldehydes non-selectively• Found in sympathetic nerve endings, liver and intestinal
mucosa• Protects body against phenylethylamines in diet like
tyramine (found in beer, cheese, wines, yeast, soy sauce)• Inhibitors include:
-clorgyline for MAO-A (5HT selective)-selegiline for MAO-B (dopamine selective
therapy for Parkinson’s)isocarboxazid-rarely used
Question: What happens if a patient on a MAO inhibitor eats a large quantity of PEA’s?

• Localization

Discovery/Classification of Adrenergic Receptors
• Originally based on complex and often paradoxical physiological responses to NE, EPI and ISO: led to concept of and receptors
• Synthesis of new adrenergic agonists and antagonists allowed distinction of subtypes first, and then subtypes
• Cloning further clarified the subtypes and allowed their independent study after individual expression in cells grown in vitro

Adrenergic Receptors
Alpha () receptors are generally excitatory (constriction/contraction) except in gut
Mechanism 1 : Ca++
Beta () receptors are inhibitory (e.g. 2 lung relaxation;) or stimulatory (heart, liver and fat cells)
Mechanism: cAMP

Factors determining the actions of catecholamines on ARs
• Reuptake• Catabolism • Density of receptors• Relative proportion of
and locale of adrenergic receptors
• Potency of agonist• Efficiency of agonist
• Desensitization• Down regulation• Removal of 2nd
messenger• Pharmacogenetics• Reflexes

ANS AMAZING FACT
Cardiovascular reflexes may OVERRIDE the direct effects of a drug
Example: slowing of heart after injection of Norepinephrine
![Page 45: Adrenergic Agonists Lecture 1_Clark](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546ad3fdb4af9f616f8b50dc/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Homeostatic reflexes complicate drug effects
Example: what are the consequences of slowly infusing NE into a patient?
NE directly produces TACHYCARDIA and vasoconstriction.However, the net effect of NE infusion is often a large increase in TPR, a moderate increase in MAP, and BRADYCARDIA. Why?
![Page 46: Adrenergic Agonists Lecture 1_Clark](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546ad3fdb4af9f616f8b50dc/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Pharmacogenetics
2-adrenergic receptor is highly polymorphic (altered amino acid sequence)
• Altered structure may affect agonist activation or desensitization
– E.g.; Thr Ile 164 impairs agonist activation
– Patients with this variant of the 2-adrenergic receptor
appear to have increased risk of dying from congestive heart failure and go to the front of the line for transplant
![Page 48: Adrenergic Agonists Lecture 1_Clark](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546ad3fdb4af9f616f8b50dc/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Mechanisms of Desensitization of the β2-Adrenergic Receptor
Homologous PKA-mediated
Heterologous GRK/Arrestin- mediated
1.Agonist binding (NE or EPI) rapidly activates adenylyl cyclase and PKA and PKA phosphorylates the β2AR
2.Agonist binding to the β2AR also rapidly activates GRKs
3.GRK phosphorylation of the β2AR leads to Arrestin binding and uncoupling
3. Arrestin binding leads to clathrin coated pit internalization of the β2AR
4. Internalized receptor is recycled to the plasma membrane (dephosphorylation occurs both internally and at the plasma membrane resenstizing the β2AR )
5. A small fraction of the β2AR is downregulated (degraded) slowly (t1/2 = 3-4 hrs)
