cause of death with opiate overdose
respiratory depression
opiate agonists
codeine fentanyl hydromorphone methadone morphine oxycodone oxymorphone remifentanil tramadol
opiate partial agonist/partial antagonist
butorphanol buprenorphine hydrocodone pentazocine nalbutine
opiate antagonists
naloxone
nalmefene
naltrexone
NMDA receptor antagonists
ketamine
dextreomethorphan
TCA’s
amitriptyline
nortriptyline
imipramine
desipramine
anticonvulsants
gabapentin
pregabalin
lomotrigene
carbamazepine
endogenous opiod peptides in human body
from POMC, proenkephalin, preprodynorphan
enkephalins, endorphins, dynorphins
POMC=beta endorphin
POMC gives rise to
beta endorphins
anatomical distribution of POMC producing cells in the CNS
limited-arcuate hypothal, NTS, =project widely to limbic areas
mainly in pituitary
circulating beta endorphin is derived predominantly from the
pituitary
Proenkephalin peptides present in areas of CNS that involve…
processing of pain information
areas of motor control
neuroendocrine control
autonomic control
areas of behavior
areas with high proenkephalin produciton
Processing pain=Spinal trigeminal nucleus
& periaqueductal gray area
motor control= striatum
autonomic control= medulla
neuroendocrine function= median eminence
Behavior= hippocampus, amygdala, frontal cerebral cortex
endogenous opiate peptides in general regulate
pain, thermoregulation, appetite, reward
proenkephalin cleaved into
methionine ekephalin (longer) and leucine enkephalin (shorter)
circulating proenkephalins are derived from the adrenal
medulla and exocrine glands of the stomach
modulatory abeta fibers can regulate pain signals at the level of the
dorsal horn
-lamina 1 and 2 where this shit synapses
NSAIDS modulate
TRANSDUCTION: transduction of pain signal
Na channel blockers (local anesthetics) block
CONDUCTION: signal conduction in nocioceptive fibers
opioids, antidep, nsaids, anticonv, and alpha2 agonists all modulate transmission of pain in the spinal cord by
Transmission:
decreasing the intensity of graded potentials and thus the frequency of AP’s relayed from the peripheral to central pain pathways
sensitizing agents act via
PKC and PKA
what do sensitizing agents do?
modulate extent of original ion influx, modulate sensitivity of the VGsodium channels to increase liklihood of prop and cond of pain
peripheral receptors transudcing chemical signals
B1, B2 (kinin)
ACIS-acid sensitive
P2X, P2Y-atp
thermal receptor types
TRPV1-HOT
TRPV2-COLD?
