Opioids Flashcards
(84 cards)
2 opioid structures
phenanthrene
benzylisoquinolines
Opiate
term used to designate drugs derived from opium
Opioid
all substances;
natural & synthetic
that bind to opioid receptors and produce agonist effect
Opioid classification
Natural occurring
–Morphine
Semisynthetic analogs of morphine
- –Heroine
- –codeine
- –Hydromorphone [[Dilaudid]]
Synthetic
–Exogenous [[4 groups]]
4 types of synthetic opioids
[[exogenous]]
Morphinan derivatives
Diphenyl derivative
Benzomorphans
**Phenylpiperdines
believed that synthetic opioids; [[exogenous]] mimic the activity of endogenous [[naturally occurring; enkephalins, endorphins and dynoprhins]] at the opioid receptors
Morphinan derivative
type of synthetic opioid [[exogenous]]
- Levorphenol
- Butorphenol
becoming popular to use for withdrawal
Diphenyl Derivative
type of synthetic opioid [[exogenous]]
- METHADONE
used for withdrawal; but can get addicted to methadone
Benzomorphans
type of synthetic opioid
[[exogenous]]
- Phenazocine
- Pentazocine
PHENYLPIPERDINES
type of synthetic opioid [[exogenous]]
OR DRUGS
- Meperidine [[demerol]]
- Fentanyl
- Alfentanil
- Sufentatil
- Remifentanyl
Opioid receptor activity classification
Agonist
Partial Agonist
Mixed agonist/ antagonist
Antagonist
Agonist
full mu receptor effects
partial agonist
Regardless of dose can not produce full mu receptor effects like morphine
Buprenorphine
mixed agonist/ antagonist
agonist at other opioid receptor [[kappa or delta]] but antagonist at mu receptor
ex. Nalbuphine ; reverses resp. depression
[[agonist at kappa; antagonist at mu]]
Antagonist
inhibits mu receptor activity
ex. Naloxone [[Narcan]]
reverses opioid
Opiate Receptors
mu [[mu1 and mu2]]
kappa
delta
3 endogenous agonists
[[naturally occurring]]
Enkephalins
endorphins
dynorphins
Opioid and pain modulating systems
- ANTInociceptive; down regulates pain receptors
- Inhibits excitatory neurotransmitters [[Substance P]]
Mu 1
Supraspinal [[BRAIN]] Analgesia
Euphoria
Miosis [[pupil constriction]]
Bradycardia [[DIRECT action on vagus nerve]]
Urinary Retention
ALL endogenous and exogenous [[synthetic]] opioids work on Mu1
Mu 2
SPINAL analgesia
Physical Dependence
hypoventilation
Constipation
All endogenous [[natural]] and exogenous [[synthetic]] agonists act on Mu2
Mu receptors
Primarily in the CNS;
Brain and Spinal cord
some periphery
Mu1
Mu2
ALL endogenous [[naturally occurring]] and exogenous [[synthetic]] agonists act on Mu receptors
Bradycardia
Mu1 effect
DIRECT effect on Vagus nerve
Kappa receptors
ONLY Dynorphins work on KAPPA
Supraspinal[[Brain]] and spinal Analgesia
Dsyphoria [[Dynorphins, kappa]]
Sedation
Miosis [[constricted pupils]]
Diuresis
Delta
ONLY Enkephalins work on DELTA
Supraspinal [[Brain]] and spinal Analgesia
hypoventilation
physical Dependance
constipation and urinary retention
Opioids on G coupled opioid receptors
-Suppression/ inhibition of neurotransmitter [[substance P]]
-decreases adenylyl cyclase; cAMP
presynaptic
postsynaptic
G alpha i; decreases cAMP
[[increased conductance of K –> hyperpolarizes; decreases Ca into cell]]
