2 opioid agonists
morphine - strong
codeine - moderate
3 mixed opioid agonist/antagonist (partial agonists)
pentazocine - Talwin
butorphanol
buprenorphin - buprenex
pure opioid antagonist
naloxone -
2 endogenous ligands for Mu receptor
enkephalins
beta endorphins
endogenous ligand for Kappa receptor
dynorphins
2 endogenous ligands for delta receptor
enkephalins
beta endorphin
5 drug ligands for Mu receptors
morphine
fentanyl
methadone
meperidine
buprenorphine
2 drug ligands for Kappa receptors
pentazocine
butorphanol
3 drug ligands for Delta receptors
sufentanil
morphine
codeine
4 clinical effects of the Mu receptor
analgesia
euphoria
respiratory depression
physical dependence
3 clinical effects of the Kappa receptor
analgesia at the spinal cord level
sedation
dysphoria
clinical effects of Delta receptors
may contribute to anagesia
3 mechanisms on the opiate receptors
coupled to adenylyl cyclase through Gi, decreases cAMP
decrease Ca2+ conductance on presynaptic terminals = decrease release of neurotransmitters
increased K+ conductance on postsynaptic neurons = hyperpolarization and inhibition
the most lipophilic opioid
fentanyl
what makes fentanyl short action even though it has a longer half life than morphine
rapid redistribution in the tissues; liver, spleen, kidney and lung
morphine metabolism
conjugated to
morphine-3-glucuronide M3G - inactive but has neuroexcitatory effects
morphine-6-glucuuronide M6G - more potent than morphine but slowly crosses the BBB
heroin metabolism
hydrolyzed to
6-mono-acetylmorphine - active
morphine
codeine metabolism
CYP2D6
10% O-demethylated to morphine
meperidine metabolism
N-demethylation to
normeperidine - can cause seizures if it accumulates especially in children
fentanyls metabolism
CYP3A4 intestinally - dealkylation
pharmacological action of morphine in analgesia
Reduces the affective response to pain stimulation and increases pain tolerance without altering the threshold for perception of the stimulus.
pharmacological action of morphine on respiratory depression
Decreased responsiveness to increases in CO2 concentration; also depresses centers involved in regulating rhythmicity.
pharmacological action of morphine on the GI tract
Delays passage of GI contents due to increase in tone and sphincter spasm.
pharmacological action of morphine on cardiovascular system
postural hypotension
vasodilation
CO2 retention and increase in CSF pressure
meperidine
phenylpiperidine
CNS effects comparable to morphine but shorter acting & less effect on smooth muscle.
Significant anticholinergic effects
Seizures with accumulation of metabolite, normeperidine.
Contraindicated with MAOI
Remifentanil - ultiva
phenylpiperidine
approved for surgical analgesia; metabolized very rapidly by plasma esterases → very short duration of action (3-4)minutes
Sulfentanil - sulfenta
phenylpiperidine
5-7 times more potent than fentanyl.
fentanyl
phenylpiperidine
Rapid onset and short duration; used in anesthesiology
methadone
phenylheptylamine
pharmacological properties qualitatively similar to morphine
longer duration of action
more effective orally
withdrawal has a slower onset, more prolonged
levomethadyl - orlaam
phenylheptylamine
approved for use in detoxification clinics; may be given once every 2-3 days.
codeine
phenanthrene
lower analgesic potency
lower addiction liability than morphine
very high oral efficacy
antitussive
Usually combined in formulations containing aspirin, acetaminophen or other drugs for analgesia*.
diphenoxylate - lomotil
phenylpiperidine
prominent effect is constipation
atropine added primarily to discourage abuse
loperamide - imodium
phenylpiperidine
anti-diarrheal
potential for abuse is low because very little crosses BBB
buprenorphine - subutex
phenanthrene
long acting Mu receptor agonist
parenterally for sever pain
slow dissociation causing long duration and resistance to naloxone
nalbuphine - nubain
phenanthrenes
kappa agonist
Mu antagonist
ceiling to respiratory depression but resistant to naloxone
butorphanol - stadol
morpinan
predominantly Kappa agonist
parenterally produces analgesia =to bupronex
pentazocine - talwin
predominantly Kappa
moderate analgesic weak antagonistic
tramadol - ultram
analog of codeine
weak Mu agonist
analgesic effect from block of NE 5HT reuptake (mainly 5HT)
tapentadol - nucynta
more potent version of tramadol
more effect on decreasing NE reuptake
dextromethorphan
non-narcotic
no analgesia or addictive properties
anti-tussive
naloxone - narcan
opioid antagonist
duration 1-2 hrs
highest affinity for Mu receptors
few effects when given w/o agonist
reversal in 1-3 min. of IV administration
no tolerance
naltrexone - ReVia
opioid antagonist
duration 48 hrs
oral
nalmefene - Revex
opioid antagonist
IV
duration 8-10 hrs
methylnaltrexone - relistor
peripheral antagoinist
Tx of constipation
