Magnesium
Less nicotinic acetylcholine
receptors are actiavted.
Contraction of GI muscle is
reduced, motility and
secretion decreases.
Neuromuscular Junction
Smooth Muscle Myocyte
Decreased calcium levels
lead to decreased
neurotransmitter release.
Less acetylcholine is
available in the synapse to
bind to post synaptic
muscarinic receptors on the
muscle.
Loperamide activates mu
opioid receptors inhibiting
the N-type calcium channels
on the neuron. This prevents
calcium to enter the neuron
and depolarize.
Mu opioid receptor is
coupled to Go and Gi
proteins. When diphenoxylate
activates the mu opioid
receptor, the Gi cascade
causes inhibition of
adenylate cyclase and the Go
signaling pathway causes
inhibition of Ca2+ channels
and activation of K+
channels.
Pre-Synaptic Neuron
Cytosol
With the inhibition of
adenylate cyclase, it is
unable to synthesize cAMP
which further prevents
calcium from entering the
neuron and depolarization of
the neuron
Synaptic Vesicle
K+ channel is activated
allowing K+ to enter the
neuron and sodium to leave
the neuron. This results in
hyperpolarization, reducing
the ability of the neuron to
fire.
