Sedatives ( 镇 静 药 ): 能 缓 和 激 动, 消 除 躁 动, 恢 复 安 静 情 绪 的 药 物 Hypnotics ( 催 眠 药 ): 能 促 进 和 维 持 近 似 生 理 睡 眠 的 药 物 中 枢 抑 制 药 多 数 随 剂 量 增 加 而 出 现 镇 静 催 眠 等 中 枢 抑 制 作 用, 故 合 称 为 镇 静 催 眠 药 (sedative-hypnotics)
Enhanced alertness Circadian rhythms of physiological functions: different functions in the waking and sleeping
Phases of the sleeping
A. Benzodiazepines Diazepam 地 西 泮 ( 安 定 ) CH3 N O Cl N
A. Benzodiazepines 1. Pharmacological effects and clinical uses (1) Antianxiety at small doses acting on limbic system (2) Sedative-hypnotic effects at relatively larger doses, no anesthetic effect; not remarkably affect on REM used for insomnia and preanesthetic medication
(3) Antiepileptic and anticonvulsant effects convulsion due various causes; status epilepticus (i.v.) (4) Centrally acting muscle relaxant effect relaxing the spasticity of skeletal muscle, probably by increasing presynaptic inhibition in the spinal cord. used for the treatment of skeletal muscle spasms caused by central or peripheral diseases. (5) Others A. Benzodiazepines amnesia ( 短 暂 性 记 忆 缺 失, i.v.) respiratory and CVS effects
A. Benzodiazepines 2. Mechanisms of actions (1) Sites of action: mainly acts on limbic system and midbrain reticular formation. (2) Interaction with GABA A receptor Benzodiazepines bind to specific, high affinity sites on the cell membrane, which are separate from but adjacent to the receptor for -aminobutyric acid (GABA). The binding of benzodiazepines enhances the affinity of GABA receptor for this neurotransmitter, resulting in a more frequent opening of adjacent chloride channels. - coagonist This in turn results in enhanced hyperpolarization( 超 极 化 )and further inhibition of neuronal firing.
Modulation mode of the central inhibitory transmitter GABA and the action sites of drugs
GABA BDZs Action of the central inhibitory transmitter GABA on Cl - influx and the action sites of benzodiazepines (BDZs)
The ascending arousal system, from the rostral pons through the thalamus and hypothalamus, modulates arousal and consciousness - Targets of sedative-hypnotics
ACh NE DA 5-HT
Centrally acting muscle relaxant effect: increasing presynaptic inhibition in the spinal cord
Centrally acting muscle relaxant effect: increasing presynaptic inhibition in the spinal cord
A. Benzodiazepines 3. Adverse effects (1) Central depression Most common: drowsiness and confusion (potentiated by ethanol or other central depressants) Ataxia; cognitive impairment Antagonized by BZ receptor antagonist flumazenil ( 氟 马 西 尼 ) (2) Tolerance and dependence Withdrawal syndrome: central excitation
A. Benzodiazepines (3) Others local pain, respiratory and CVS reactions (i.v.) teratogenic effects (4) Contraindications Myasthenia gravis Infants < 6 months Pregnancy and lactation mothers Elderly, heart/lung/liver/kidney dysfunction Fine motor coordination
