Transport of Information in
Organism
• Electrically:
Along neurons due to action potential
• Chemically:
- in synaps
- in cell / target organ
Synaps: Transport of Information:
chemically
Examples:
• Gycine and γ-aminobutiric acid (GABA) are
inhibiting neurotransmitter (Activation: influx of
chloride ion, hyperpolarization, reduction of
membrane potential, inhibition of excitation)
• Glutamic acid is exciting neurotransmitter, it
causes activation of glutamic receptor: influx of
sodium ion into cell, depolarization, excitation of
neurons
Neurotrasnmitter and Cotransmitter
• Together with classical neurotransmitter, other
neurotransmitters could be released (up to 3
different cotransmitters) those modify
neurotransmitter effects (strengthen or lessen)
e.g.:
• Neurotransmitter:
Acetylcholine, dopamine, L-noradrenaline, L-
adrenaline, serotonin, histamine, GABA, glutamic
acid, glycine
• Co-transmitter:
Somatostatine, cholecystokinine, neurotensine
Cotransmitter
• A substance, usually a peptide released from
neurons and modifies the actions of the substance
regarded as the primary transmitter.
• For example, vasoactive intestinal peptide is a
cotransmitter with acetylcholine, and neuropeptide Y
performs a similar role with norepinephrine.
Cotransmitters may also have direct effects on target
cells

Ach. Receptor
Membrane Receptor:
• Effector system:
Enzymes: a) Adenylate cyclase cAMP
b) Guanylate cyclase cGMP
c) Phospholipase C, IP3, DAG
Antagonist:
- Bound to receptor
-Does not activate receptor
-Does not trigger effect, but blocks receptor
Partial Agonist:
Agonist that also in high concentration does not trigger
maximal effect of Intrinsic activities.
Intrinsic effect (IA): Agonist: IA = 1, Antagonist: IA = 0,
Agonist partial: 0 < IA < 1
From Müller, 2004
Central Nerve System
Structure Activity Relationship (SAR)
• Anionic centre of Ach receptor binds
quaternary-N (cation) of Ach molecule
(ionic interaction)
• Binding strength, increases:
R-NH3+< R-NH2R+< R-NHR2+<R-NR3+
Structure Activity Relationship (SAR)
• Ester group, via C-O-C bond or carbonyl
group, interacts with esteratic centre of
Ach receptor (hydrogen bond)
• The distance between –N- with –O- group:
0.5 or 0.7 nm
• When N-Methyl group is replaced by
bulkier group, muscarinic effect decreases,
nicotinic effect increases
Structure Activity Relationship (SAR)
• When acetyl residue is replaced by more
lipophyl group with bigger van der Waals
volume, the compound will work Ach
antagonist
• Work of Ach is based on membrane
permeability (increasing) for small cations:
Na, K, and Cl. Effects: contraction of
muscle, increasing of gland secretion,
decreasing of blood pressure negative
inotropic effects.
Nicotine
Comparison: Acetylcholine with Nicotine
Nicotine is an agonist on nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
• Direct Parasympatomimetic:
- (+)-Muscarin: Alkaloid from Amanita
muscaria
- (+)-Pilocarpin: Main Alkaloid of
Pilocarpus jaborandus
- Arecolin: Main Alkaloid of Areca catechu
From Müller, 2004
Parasympatomimetic
• Indirect Parasympatomimetic: work
mechanism is based on reaction with
acetylcholine esterase enzyme
• Amide of carbamic acid and ester of
phosphoric acid: inhibition of enzyme,
acetylcholine not hydrolyzed
• There are two groups:
- Reversible: Physostigmin group
- Irreversible: Organophosphate
Indication of Reversible Indirect
Parasympatomimetic
• Atonie of intestine and bladder
• Antidot for intoxication with muscle
relaxant or atropine (Physostigmin)
