Nicotine
- Mechanism of Action
- Nicotine binds to a4b2 subunit of nACh receptor
- This causes influx of Na+ and Ca2+
- Ca2+ Binds to calmodulin
- Dopamine is released
- Also when N binds to nACh receptor: Ach, Epi, 5-HT, GABA, Endorphins and Glutamate are released (lots of good feelings...nicotine is very addictive!)
- Side Effects
- Insomnia
- Nausea
- Parital Agonist for Smoking Tx
- Varenicline
- Cytisine
- Chronic smoking leads to a decrease in MAO so on a regular basis will have increases in NE, ACh, 5-HT etc
