Video from Speed Pharmacology on YouTube

Identify pre- and post-junctional sites for drug action: α-methyltyrosine, reserpine, neuron-blocking drugs (guanethidine), α₂-autoreceptors, uptake inhibitors (cocaine, tricyclic antidepressants), and MAO and COMT inhibitors.

Why this video

It illustrates the adrenergic nerve terminal and explains pre-junctional drug targets, including reuptake inhibition by cocaine and the role of α₂-autoreceptors.

Part of this line

Covers part of this objective. It leaves out: It does not teach α-methyltyrosine, reserpine, guanethidine, or MAO and COMT inhibitors.

Heads up

It focuses on adrenergic receptor agonists rather than systematically classifying pre- versus post-junctional drug sites.
