CHAPTER 14 Sedative-Hypnotics
【 classification 】
1. benzodiazepines.
2. barbiturates.
3.other agents: e.g.chloral hydrate.
【 general use 】
anxiety, insomnia, convulsion, epilepsy etc.
Benzodiazepines
【 classification 】
1.short-acting
triazolam(T1/2 2~4h)
2.intermediate-acting
chlordiazepoxide (T1/2 5~10h)
oxazepam (T1/2 5~10h)
3.long-acting
diazepam (T1/2 30~60h)
flurazepam (T1/2 50~100h)
【 pharmacokinetics 】
The benzodiazepines are lipophilic and
are rapidly and completely absorbed after o
ral administration and are distributed throug
hout the body.Most benzodiazepines are m
etabolized by the hepatic microsomal meta
bolizing system to compounds that are also
active.The benzodiazepines are excreted in
urine as glucuronides or oxidized metabolit
es.
【 mechanism of action 】
There are benzodiazepine receptors (BZ
R) in CNS,which are separate from but adjac
ent to receptor for GABA. Benzodiazepines a
ctivate the receptors, which promotes GABA
binding to GABA receptors. Binding of GABA
to its receptors may open Cl— channel and fa
cilitate Cl— entry into neurons. The influx of c
hloride ions cause a small hyperpolarization
that moves the postsynaptic potential away fr
om its firing threshold and inihibits the formati
on of action potentials,which produces an inh
ibitory effect on neuronal conduction.*
【 pharmacologic effects and therapeutic uses 】
Benzodiazepines may produce antianxiety, sedation,
hypnosis, anticonvulsion and respiratory depression wi
th the increase of doses.
DOSE,ADMINISTRATION
1.antianxiety
(1)effect
All sedative-hypnotic drugs are capable of relieving
anxiety at sedative doses, but benzodiazepines exert a
ntianxiety action at the lowest effective doses that do n
ot cause sedation.
(2)use
to relieve anxiety states, including restlessness, wor
ry, stress and phobia states.
common drug: chlordiazepoxide,diazepam.
2. sedation
use: general anesthesis; tracheoscopy examination
and electric defibrillation (temporary loss of
memory,i.v.).
common drug: diazepam.
3. hypnosis
(1)effect
to reduce awaking times, prolong sleep time an
d shorten sleep latency.
(2)use
insomnia, especially insomnia with anxiety.
common drug:flurazepam, temazepam,triazolam
4. anticonvulsant effects
(1)effect
to inhibit the development and spread of epilep
tiform activity in the CNS.
(2) use: convulsion and status epilepticus.
(3)common drug:
①clonazepam for chronic treatment of epilepsy;
②diazepam for terminating grand mal epileptic
seizures and status epilepticus;
③chlordiazepoxide,clorazepate,diazepam and
oxazepam for alcohol withdrawal.
5.relaxation of muscle
(1)effect
inhibitory effects on polysynaptic reflexes and int
ernuncial transmission in CNS, leading to muscle rel
axation.
(2)use: relaxing muscle spasm induced by cerebral
palsy.
common drug: diazepam.
【 adverse effects 】
Benzodiazepines have a low toxicity a
nd wide margin of safety.
1.central inhibitory effect
dizziness, asthenia, drowsiness.
2. tolerance, dependence and addiction.
3.acute toxication:
flumazenil--competitively NZR blocker.
Barbiturates
【 classification 】
1. ultra-short-acting
thiopental(action of duration--0.25h).
2. short-acting
secobarbital (action of duration—2~3h).
3.intermediate-acting
pentobarbital and amobarbital (action of d
uration—3~6h).
4. long-acting:
phenobarbital (action of duration—6~8h).
【 pharmacokinetics 】
1.Duration of action depends on rate of meta
bolic degradation, degree of lipid solubility,
extent of binding to serum proteins. Ultra-s
hort-acting barbiturates are highly lipid-sol
uble, whereas long- acting barbiturates are
lowly lipid-soluble.
2.redistribution.
3.excretion via kidney. Alkalinization of urine
profoundly promotes excretion of barbitura
tes.
【 mechanism of action 】
①enhance effects of GABA.
②interfere with sodium and potassium transp
ort across cell membrane that leads to inhi
bition of the mesencephalic reticular activa
ting system.
③directly activate chloride channel,prolong t
he opening time of chloride channel to incr
ease influx of Cl- to decrease membrane p
otential in the large dose.
【 pharmacologic effects 】
1.to depress CNS at all levels in a dose-dependent
fasion. As dose of barbiturates increases, they p
roduce sedative, hypnosis, anticonvulsion, anest
hesia, central respiratory depression and depres
sion of vasomotor center respectively.
2.augment action of other CNS depressants.
3.shorten amount of time spent in REMS.
4.induce hepatic microsomal drug-metabolizing en
zymes.
clinical significance:
(1)to increase degradation of the barbiturates, ulti
mately leading to barbiturate tolerance.
(2)to increase inactivation and decreased action o
f other compounds in drug interaction.
【 therapeutic uses 】
DOSE,ADMINISTRATION
1.sedation and hypnosis: Intermediate and long-acting b
arbiturates, P.O.
disadvantages:
①narrow therapeutic-to-toxic dosage range;

duction.
2.anticonvulsion: phenobarbital, pentobarbital or amobar
bital,in injection.
3.antiepileptism: phenobarbital for epileptism in infant an
d children, in injection.
4.intravenous anesthetics or intravenous adjunct to
surgical anesthetics, e.g. thiopental.
5.Barbiturates, especially in anesthetic doses, signifi
cantly decrease oxygen utilization by brain, which
may be of value in lessening cerebral edema caus
ed by surgery or trauma and in protecting against
cerebral infarction duration cerebral ischemia.
6.hyperbilirubinemia and kernicterus in the neonate.
【 adverse effects 】
1.CNS depressant effects: oversedation,nightmare.
2.dependence: physiologic and psychological depen
dence. Withdrawal of barbiturates may result in gr
and mal seizures, severe tremors, vivid hallucinati
ons, and psychoses. Abrupt withdrawal should be
avoided.

CHAPTER 17 Agents Used in the Treatm
ent of Parkinsonian Disorders
1.classification of diseases
Parkinsonian disease
Parkinsonian syndrome.
2.Pathogenesis
nigra caudatum
○ ○
DA Ach
striatum
(-) (+)
motor neurons in anterior horn of spinal cord
skeletal muscle contraction
3.therapy
reestablish dopamine/ acetylcholine balance.
(1)increase function of dopaminergic neurons
in the nigrostriatum,
(2)decrease function of cholinergic neurons.
4.classification of drug
(1)dopaminomimetic
levodopa, carbidopa ,amantadine
(2)anticholinergic drugs
trihexyphenidyl
Levodopa(L-dopa)
【 mechanism of action 】
L-dopa is transformed to dopamine via dopa dec
arboxylase in the brain and corrects dopamine d
eficiency in nigrostriatum.
【 pharmacokinetics 】
1.Dopamine does not cross BBB, thus L-dopa is gi
ven instead and is readily transported into the C
NS.
2.L-dopa is well absorbed from the small intestine;
however, 99% is rapidly decarboxylated in the p
eriphery,resulting in peripheral side effects. So, l
arge dose of L-dopa is required. *
【 pharmacologic effects 】
1. The improvement of bradykinesia and rigidit
y is more rapid and complete than of tremor
.
2. L-dopa is more effective for young and mild
patients or early disease than old and sever
e patients.
3. L-dopa is ineffective for Parkinsonian syndr
ome induced by phenothiazides.
4. Tolerance to both beneficial and adverse eff
ects from levodopa occurs with time. L-dopa
is more effective in the first 2-5 years of ther
apy.
【 therapeutic uses 】
effective for Parkinsonian disease and P
arkinsonian syndrome caused by other cau
ses except phenothiazides.
The combination of levodopa with carbid
opa is recommended.
【 adverse effects 】
1.cardiovascular effects: tachycardia, arrhyth
mias etc.
2.central nervous side effects: vivid dream, d
elusion etc. mental disturbances.
3.gastrointestinal reaction:nausea, vomiting.
Carbidopa
Carbidopa is an inhibitor of dopa decar
boxylase. Because it is unable to penetrate
BBB, it acts to reduce the peripheral conver
sion of L-dopa to dopamine. Carbidopa is u
sed in combination with L-dopa to augment
beneficial effects of L-dopa and to reduce d
ose and adverse effects of L-dopa.
Amantadine
1.action mechanism
to improve Parkinsonian symptoms by stimulating th
e synthesis and release of dopamine from the survivi
ng dopaminergic nerve terminals and delaying its reu
ptake in the nigrostriatum.
2.effect
more effective than anticholinergic agents against r
igidity and bradykinesia, less effective than L-dopa in
the treatment of Parkinsonian disorders,no effective f
or tremor.
3.use
alone for early Parkinsonian disease; in combination
with L-dopa for various Parkinsonian diseases.
4.adverse effect
restlessness,agitation,confusion and hallucination.
Trihexyphenidyl(Artane)
1.action mechanism: to block cholinergic receptors in
CNS to reduce the function of cholinergic nerves in
nigrostriatum to restore the balance between the d
opaminergic and cholinergic neurons.
2.effect: less efficaciou than levodopa.The effects on
tremor is more pronounced than effects on bradyki
nesia and rigidity.
3.use:alone for the mild patients, patients of the disc
ontinuation of L-dopa due to its adverse effects as
well as Parkinsonian syndrome induced by phenot
hiazides; in combination with L-dopa for any Parki
nsonian disorders.
4.side effects: similar to thoses of atropine.
