K receptors
What suppresses noxious thermal stimuli and modulates the mu receptor?
delta receptors
Opioid receptors decrease _________________.
synaptic transmission
M3G
Opioid Induced Myoclonus
What is the role of Dynorphin in the SC Dorsal horn?
decreases pain threshold so it ENHANCES pain
Orexin is co-released with ___________________and ______________________.
Dynorphin and Glutamate
Morphine Analogs are based on what 3 things?
Morphine, Thebaine, Codeine
Modification via Thebaine would give us what?
Morphine Analogs
What is the simplification of chemical structures from morphine called?
Morphine Analogs
Fentanyl ___________________ is given for chronic malignant pain.
transdermal patches
What is a strong opioid agonists with decreased CV effx but increased respiratory center depression?
Fentanyl
what are 2 short acting Fentanyl congeners that is given for short painful procedures?
Alfentanil, Remifentanil
Tolerance w/Morphine develops except not ______________, ____________________ or __________________________.
Miosis, constipation, pruritis
What opioid would cause testerosterone and cortisol in plasma to drop?
Morphine
M6G analgesic?
Morphine
What is the metabolite of morphine?
glucornide
Morphine is used on what type of pain?
ACUTE PAIN ONLY
What opioid agonists exhibits CNS excitation and produces normeperidine?
Meperidine
post anesthetic shivering?
Meperidine
what are the withdrawal symptoms of Opioid Analgesics?
FLU
Tramadol can increase mood and decrease pain by blocking _______________________.
NE and 5HT reuptake
____________________ : only 10% go thru first pass metabolism to morphine.
Codeine
Absence of pain sensation?
Analgesia
Absence of ALL sensation?
Anesthesia
Why does rubbing a boo boo make it better?
activates inhibitory local circuit neurons to decrease pain
What is the MOA of opioids at the presynapse?
decreases amount of Ca+ entry so less NT are released
What is the MOA of opioids at the postsynapse?
increase in K+ efflux so become hyperpolarized
Opioid receptors activate G proteins----________________ inhibited----------------decrease in cAMP
adenyl cyclase
What is the fxn of Meperidine congeners?
tx diarrhea
Why do patients die from opioids?
decreases their sensitization to CO2 and they don't breathe and thus die
What are the Meperidine congeners that tx diarrhea?
Diphenoxylate; Loperamide
Why are antagonists added to opioids?
to prevent drug abuse. If taken correctly-- get agonist form, if taken incorrectly get antagonist form
What is the single highest prescribed drug in the USA?
Hydrocodone
What is a partial m agonist, used to treat physical dependence and block withdrawal?
Buprenophine
What is an narcotic antagonists that can reverse the effect of agonists/antagonists of ANY group>
Naloxone HCl
What is a pure antagonists that must be high monitored if administered?
Naloxone-- give just enough to make them breathe, if any more than they will die
What drug must you closely closely regulate---Naloxone or Naltrexone?
Naloxone
What has no tolerance, is a full mu agonists, and can kill a pt? We give Buprenorphine.
Methadone
What are some opioid overdose signs?
miosis, cyanosis
Analgesia possibilites suggested by what neuro tract?
Anterolateral tract
Why does Morphine cause nausea and vomitting?
stimulation of CTZ (in area postrema). Involved in motion sickness.
What are the cardiovascular effects of morphine?
release of histamine and suppression of central adrenergic tone and suppress reflex vasocontstriciton= VASODILATION= decrease in BP
Why do pts on Morphine feel urinary urgency?
tone of detrusor muscle is increased. have urinary retention due to increased muscle tone when sphincter is closed off
Morphine has what effect on your respiration?
Bronchocontriction
Where are most opioids absorbed?
in GI tract. also undergo a high rate of first pass metabolism. Highly lipophilic opiates absorbed transdermally
What are 2 Piperidines?
Alfentanil, Remifentanil
Most opiates are converted to Glucuronides or N-demethylated via ________________.
Hepatic Conjugation
Fentanyl is metabolized by ____________________.
Cytochrome P450
What is the Acute Morphine Poisoning Triad?
Coma, Miosis, Cyanosis (also have asphyxia, pupils dilate, biliary spasms, GI smooth muscle spasm, pulmonary edema, muscle twitches, peripheral vasodilation, hypotension)
What is the Morphine LD?
0.2 gm parenterally
Give 2 examples of Intrabuccal Fentanyl.
