The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

3. Neuronal Regulation
• Airway tone mainly controlled by the vagus nerve, and the
parasympathetic nerves carried in the vagus nerve are tonically active,
producing a stable, readily reversible baseline tone of the airway
smooth muscle
• Preganglionic parasympathetic nerve fibers project to the airways via
the vagus nerve. They form cholinergic synapses with postganglionic
neurons via airway parasympathetic ganglia.
• Postganglionic parasympathetic cholinergic and nonadrenergic
noncholinergic (NANC) fibers innervate ASM, providing the dominant
control of smooth muscle tone and thus airway caliber, as well as
airway glands and microvasculature in the respiratory tract
4. Muscarinic receptors
▪ ASM contraction induced by ACh is mediated primarily
via the M3 mAChRs
▪ M1 mAChRs: inhibit the opening of K+ channels→
depolarization of parasympathetic ganglion cells
▪ M2 mAChRs couple to adenylyl cyclase via Gi in an
inhibitory manner→ oppose β-AR-mediated increase in
cAMP→attenuation of β-AR-induced relaxation
5. β Adrenergic receptors
▪ β2 AR: localized to ASM (3-4 X
104 per cell), endothelial,
vascular smooth muscles, SM
glands, proinflammatory and
immune cells, including mast
cells, macrophages,
neutrophils, lymphocytes,
eosinophils, type I and type II
alveolar cells
▪ β1 AR: glands, alveoli
7. Adrenergic Agonist
▪ β2 Adrenergic agonists produce
effects through interaction with
specific β2-adrenergic receptors
located in the plasma membrane
of cells
▪ Airway smooth muscle relaxation
▪ Bronchial dilatation and
increased airflow
8. Isoproterenol
▪ Potent bronchodilator
▪ Inhaled as a microaerosol from a pressurized canister

and shock as well as the bronchospasm of anaphylaxis
12. ▪ Longer acting β2 agonists: highly lipophilic and have a
high affinity for β2 receptor
▪ Salmeterol: side chain binds to a specific site within the
β2 receptor that allows prolonged activation of the
receptor

gradually leaches out and is available over a prolonged
period to stimulate the β2 receptor
13. Short-acting β2 agonist
▪ For rapid relief of wheezing, bronchospasm, airflow
obstruction.

microcirculation
▪ Dose: 2-4mg oral, 0.25-0.5mg IM/SC, 100-200 mcg inhal
▪ Presystemic metabolism in the gut wall
▪ Oral bioavailability is 50%, Acts for 4–6 hours
14. ▪ Terbutaline: synthetic sympathomimetic amine
▪ Possess tertiary butyl group on terminal N of side
chain→ greater B2AR specificity
▪ Decrease histamine induced bronchospasm
▪ Dose: 5mg oral, 0.25mg SC, 250-500 mcg inhal
15. Long-acting β2 agonists
▪ Control of symptoms when rescue therapies are
used greater than two times per week.
▪ Combination therapy including a long-acting β2
agonist and inhaled corticosteroid
• Salmeterol: 25 μg per metered dose inhaler; 2
puffs BD
▪ Formeterol: 12–24 μg by inhalation twice daily
16. Adverse effects
▪ Muscular: Tremor
▪ CVS: Tachycardia, Transient ⬇PaO2 > 5mmHg, secondary
to β2-mediated vasodilation in poorly ventilated lung
region
▪ GI: Glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis→Hyperglycemia
▪ Stimulation of Na+K+ATPase pump→Hypokalemia
▪ Hypomagnesemia
17. Inhaled Cholinergic Antagonists
▪ Act on muscarinic receptors in the airway to reduce
bronchomuscular tone
▪ M1 and M3 receptors are responsible for
bronchoconstriction and mucus production and are the
targets of inhaled anticholinergic therapy
▪ Reduce smooth muscle tone by decreasing release of
calcium from intracellular stores
18. ▪ Ipratropium: short-acting anticholinergic
▪ Used as maintenance therapy for COPD, as rescue therapy for
both COPD and asthmatic exacerbations.

nebulization of 1 to 1.5 mg of the drug; its peak effect is
▪ seen at 40 to 60 min and lasts for up to 6 h
▪ Tachycardia, gastrointestinal upset, blurred vision, dry
mouth, and CNS effects secondary to its ability to cross
BBB
21. ▪ Theophylline: a naturally occurring methylated xanthine
alkaloids
▪ MOA
▪ Release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum, esp in skeletal and
cardiac muscle
▪ Inhibition of PDE which degrades cyclic nucleotides
intracellularly
▪ Blockade of adenosine receptors
Methylxanthine
22. Theophylline
▪ Well absorbed orally, rapidly
