概要

硫酸アトロピンは天然のベラドンナアルカロイドであり、獣医療で広く使用される​抗ムスカリン(抗コリン)​薬のプロトタイプです。

主な臨床応用は以下の通りです:

  • ​救急医療および心肺脳蘇生(CPCR)​:血行動態的に有意な洞性徐脈、洞房ブロック、および不完全房室ブロックの治療。
  • ​麻酔​:気道および唾液の分泌を予防または減少させ、迷走神経性の徐脈を軽減するための麻酔前投薬として使用。
  • ​毒物学​:コリン作動薬(有機リン、カーバメート、ムスカリン含有キノコ、アオコ中毒など)の過剰摂取に対する救命解毒剤。
  • ​呼吸器系​:気管支収縮性疾患の補助治療。

​臨床のポイント​:アトロピンは非常に有効ですが、ルーチンの麻酔前投薬プロトコルでの使用は減少しつつあり、ターゲットを絞った使用や、血液脳関門を通過しにくく作用時間が長いグリコピロレートなどの代替薬が好まれる傾向にあります。

作用機序

Atropine acts as a competitive, reversible antagonist at ​muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs)​ (M1-M5 subtypes) located at postganglionic parasympathetic neuroeffector sites.

By blocking ​acetylcholine (ACh)​ binding, it inhibits parasympathetic tone:

  • Cardiovascular: Blocks vagal tone at the SA and AV nodes → increases heart rate (positive chronotropy) and improves AV conduction (positive dromotropy).
  • Secretions: Inhibits glandular M3 receptors → decreases salivary, bronchial, and gastric secretions.
  • Smooth Muscle: Relaxes smooth muscle in the GI, urinary, and biliary tracts → decreases motility and spasm.
  • Ocular: Blocks M3 receptors in the pupillary sphincter and ciliary muscle → causes pupillary dilation (mydriasis) and paralysis of accommodation (cycloplegia).

Mechanistic Note: At very low doses, atropine can cause a paradoxical, transient bradycardia due to the blockade of presynaptic M1 autoreceptors on vagal postganglionic fibers, which normally inhibit ACh release. High doses may also block nicotinic receptors at autonomic ganglia and the neuromuscular junction.

安全性・警告

禁忌

  • Narrow-angle glaucoma
  • Synechiae (adhesions) between the iris and lens
  • Hypersensitivity to anticholinergic drugs
  • Tachycardias secondary to thyrotoxicosis or cardiac insufficiency
  • Myocardial ischemia
  • Unstable cardiac status during acute hemorrhage
  • GI obstructive disease or paralytic ileus
  • Severe ulcerative colitis
  • Obstructive uropathy
  • Myasthenia gravis (unless used to reverse adverse muscarinic effects secondary to therapy)

有害事象

  • Dry mouth (xerostomia)
  • Dysphagia
  • Constipation
  • Vomiting
  • Thirst
  • Urinary retention or hesitancy
  • CNS stimulation, drowsiness, ataxia, seizures, respiratory depression
  • Blurred vision, pupil dilation (mydriasis), cycloplegia, photophobia
  • Sinus tachycardia (at higher doses)
  • Paradoxical bradycardia (initially or at very low doses)
  • Hypertension or hypotension
  • Arrhythmias (ectopic complexes)
  • Decreased gut motility (can induce colic in horses or rumen stasis in cattle)

注意事項

​General Precautions:​

  • Use with extreme caution in patients with known or suspected GI infections; decreased motility can prolong retention of causative agents or toxins.
  • Use with extreme caution in patients with autonomic neuropathy.
  • Use cautiously in patients with hepatic or renal disease, geriatric or pediatric patients, hyperthyroidism, hypertension, CHF, tachyarrhythmias, prostatic hypertrophy, or esophageal reflux.

​Species-Specific Warnings:​

  • Neonates: Reportedly not effective in treating bradycardias in puppies <14 days old or kittens <11 days old. May damage hypoxic myocardia in neonates.
  • Rabbits: Glycopyrrolate is preferred, as ~40% of rabbits possess endogenous atropinesterase, rendering atropine ineffective.
  • Horses: Systemic use may decrease gut motility and induce colic. May reduce arrhythmogenic doses of epinephrine.
  • Cattle: May result in inappetence and rumen stasis persisting for several days.
  • Food Animals: FARAD recommends a 28-day meat and 6-day milk withdrawal time when used at doses up to 0.2 mg/kg.

医薬品相互作用

Amantadine

May enhance the activity or toxicity of atropine

Anticholinergic agents (other)

May enhance the activity or toxicity of atropine

Antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine)

May enhance the activity or toxicity of atropine

Disopyramide

May enhance the activity or toxicity of atropine

Meperidine

May enhance the activity or toxicity of atropine

Phenothiazines

May enhance the activity or toxicity of atropine; do not use in atropine overdose

Procainamide

Tricyclic antidepressants (e.g., amitriptyline, clomipramine)

May enhance the activity or toxicity of atropine

Alpha-2 agonists (e.g., dexmedetomidine, medetomidine)

Use with alpha-2 blockers may significantly increase arterial blood pressure, heart rates, and the incidence of arrhythmias. Concurrent use is controversial.

Amitraz

Atropine may aggravate signs of amitraz toxicity, leading to hypertension and further inhibition of peristalsis

Antacids

May decrease PO atropine absorption; give oral atropine at least 1 hour prior to oral antacids

Corticosteroids (long-term use)

May increase intraocular pressure

Digoxin (slow-dissolving)

Atropine may increase serum digoxin levels; use regular digoxin tablets or oral liquid

Ketoconazole

Increased gastric pH may decrease GI absorption; administer oral atropine 2 hours after ketoconazole

Metoclopramide

Atropine and its derivatives may antagonize the actions of metoclopramide

監視

  • Heart rate and rhythm
  • Thirst and appetite
  • Urination and defecation capability
  • Mouth and secretions dryness
  • Pupillary dilation (mydriasis)

薬物動態

吸収

Well absorbed after oral administration, IM injection, inhalation, or endotracheal administration. Peak effects in heart rates occur within 3-4 minutes after IV administration.

分布

Well distributed throughout the body. Crosses into the CNS, across the placenta, and can distribute into milk in small quantities.

代謝

Metabolized in the liver.

消失

Excreted into the urine. Approximately 30-50% of a dose is excreted unchanged into the urine. Plasma half-life in humans is reported to be between 2-3 hours.

過剰投与

​Signs of Toxicity:​ Extensions of pharmacologic effects: severe dry mouth, dysphagia, extreme thirst, vomiting, urinary retention, CNS signs (extreme agitation, seizures, ataxia, respiratory depression), severe tachycardia, arrhythmias, and circulatory failure.

​Treatment:​

  • Decontamination: If recent oral ingestion, empty gut contents and administer activated charcoal and saline cathartics.
  • Supportive Care: Treat clinical signs supportively and symptomatically. Fluid therapy and standard treatments for shock may be instituted.
  • Contraindications: Do NOT use phenothiazines as they may contribute to anticholinergic effects.
  • ​Antidote (Physostigmine)​: Controversial. Reserve for extreme agitation/risk of injury or severe/life-threatening supraventricular and sinus tachycardias.
    • Human dose: 2 mg IV slowly.
    • Pediatric/Small Animal dose: 0.02 mg/kg slow IV (repeat q10 minutes until reversal).
    • Note: Physostigmine adverse effects (bronchoconstriction, bradycardia, seizures) may be treated with small doses of IV atropine.
