Q

antimotility drugs act where

A

on mui opioid receptors on neuronal varicosities . This decreases Ach release and decreases peristaltic activity

Q

how does atropine work

A

atropine - inversely agonises the mAch receptors
diphenoxylate - on mui opioid receptors on neuronal varicosities . This decreases Ach release and decreases peristaltic activity

Q

effect of ether replacing a methyl

A

increases lipophilicity. ( note: just because theres an ether doesnt make it lipophilic, as it can act as a linker to make it more hydrophilic)
