Albuterol is a selective b1 agonist.
Atropine muscarinic antagonist.
Benzatropine is a tertiary amine that helps treat Parkinson’s
Bethanechol choline ester that only works on muscarinic receptors and is antagonized by atropine.
Botulinum toxin blocks the release of ACh from the presynaptic membrane.
Carbachol choline ester that stimulates muscarinic receptors and also has some effects on nicotinic receptors.
Clonidine is a selective a2 agonist.
Cyclopentolate is a tertiary amine used ophthalmologicly to cause mydriasis
Dobutamine is a selective b1 agonist.
Echothiophate is an organophosphate.
Endrophonium is a cholinesterase inhibitor.
Epinephrine is a nonselective a and b agonist.
Hemicholiniums are a class of drugs that block the uptake of choline into cholinergic nerve terminals.
Homatropine is a tertiary amine used ophthalmologicly to cause mydriasis
Ipratropium is the quaternary amine we need to know that helps treat asthma. It is not as effective as b2 agonists like albuterol but has fewer adverse effects.

Phenylephrine is a selective a1 agonist.
Physostigmine blocks ACh metabolism by acetlycholinesterase.
Physostigmine is a cholinesterase inhibitor.
Pilocarpine is a natural alkaloid that stimulates M1, M3 and M3 receptors and is able to enter the CNS (causes tremor, headache, arousal, excitation). It is clinically used only for open-angle glaucoma.
Pirenzepine is a tertiary amine which is the selective M1 blocker for GI and GU
Pralidoxime is an anti-aging drug.
Scopolamine is a tertiary amine used for motion sickness and sedation
Tacrine is a cholinesterase inhibitor.
