Opiods Agonist/Antagonists Flashcards
(201 cards)
3 types of Opioids class
Opioid agonist Opioid antagonist Opioid agonist-antagonists
Opioids derived from
Opium, meaning juice
Narcotic is a greek word for
Stupor
Why is opiod unique?
Produces analgesia without loss of proprioception, touch or consciousness
Bind to receptor site to elicit a response definition
Agonist
ONLY this form have an AGONIST ACTIVITY
LEVOROTATORY
Blocks agonist from binding
Antagonist
Opiod agonist-antagonists
partially bind to mu receptors produces a limited response (partial Agonist) or no effect (competitive antagonist)
SEMI SYNTHETIC OPIOIDS are (CHOO)
Codeine Heroin Hydromorphone Oxycodone
Semisynthetic opiods are
modified morphine molecule
Synthetic opiods are FSAR MMT
Fentanyl, Sufentanyl, Alfentanyl, Remifentanyl Methadone, Meperidine, Tramadol
Mechanism of action : opiods in ______State bind stroly at _______opioid receptor site
ionized; anionic
Opioid agonists and neurotransmitters
inhibit neurotransmitters pre and post synaptic
IN CNS opioid action is
Brainstem and spinal cord
IN PNS opioids on
Primary afferent neurons
Opioids on primary afferent neurons are activated by 3 endogenous peptide opioid receptor ligands which are?
Enkephalins Endorphins Dynorphins
Opiods and endogenous ligands?
they mimic the endogenous ligands
Raphe magnus ligand
Enkephalin
Periventricular nuclei and periaqueductal grey
Morphine and dynorphin
What is the principal effect of opiod receptor activation?
Decrease neurotransmission
How do opiods prevent neurotransmitter release?
Due to presynaptic inhibition of Ca2+ channels which reduce the neurotransmitter release.
Opiods block the release of these neurotransmitters (ADNSS)
Ach, Dopamine, Norepinephrine, Substance P, Serotonin
Pre-synaptic opioid receptor is a
GPCR
What is the mechanism of presynaptic activity?
Leads to a decrease in cAMP decrease in Ca2+ ion influx and inhibits the release of excitatory neurotransmitters
