3 precursors of endogenous
proenkephalin, pro-opiomela
nocortin---endorphins, prodynorphin---dynorphins
receptors?
mu (morphine)
kappa (in spinal cord predominately) (dynorphin)
delta (enkephalin)
prototype of opioid?
source and structure?
morphine
From opium poppy (papaver somniferum)
All produce what?
Most can do what?
Tolerance and cross tolerance!
most can support the dependence of another
big adverse effect?
Constipation
What happens when stopped suddenly?
withradwal syndrome
what is the opioid antagonist?
naloxone
Effect on specific body systems?
mental?
a) euphoria
b) mental clouding
GI?
Nausea and vomiting
(stimulate CTZ)
This can be blocked by naloxone
Lungs?
mech?
Respiratory depression
Morph causes release of histamine
and morph decreases the brain resonse to c02
what to cough?
What to pupil
antitussive
myosis
what to bladder
urinary retention
inhib gonadotropin release
decrease lh and fsh release
cardiovascular
postural hypotension
what to cough?
What to pupil
antitussive
myosis
morphine IV or oral
mostly IV but some oral
what to bladder
urinary retention
does morphine get into brain well?
NO!
inhib gonadotropin release
decrease lh and fsh release
Which really get into brain?
Heroine fentanyl codeine
cardiovascular
postural hypotension
metab
glucuronide conjugation
morphine IV or oral
mostly IV but some oral
Excretion
urine
does morphine get into brain well?
NO!
Tolerance because?
internalization of receptor; no metabolic tolerance
opioid withdrawal not life threat
Which really get into brain?
Heroine fentanyl codeine
metab
glucuronide conjugation
Excretion
urine
Tolerance because?
internalization of receptor; no metabolic tolerance
opioid withdrawal not life threat
withdrawal syn
drug to help?
first symp 8-12 hours, peak 36-72 hours
diarrhea, vomit, chills fever lacrimation, rhinorrhea, tremor, kicking of legs

Clonidine
Comparison of opioid
yes
Natural
morph, codeine
partial synthetic
heroine, naloxone
synthet
levophanol, meperidine, methadone
Activity
yes
agonist
morphine
antagonist
naloxone
agonist/antagonist
will be described later
codeine
uses
orally active has only 1/10th analgesic property of morphine;
antitussin and analgesic
Heroine (diacetylmorphine)
Oral absorpt is variable. Crosses bbb well
Oxycodone (oxycontin)
hydromorphone (dilaudid)
same effects as morph but have higher oral activity.
Also, hydromorphone is 10x more potent
Apomorphine
has little analgesic activity but has dopamine agonist activity so used to induce vomiting by direct action on CTZ
Dextromehtorphan
very little analgesic or addictive activity; used as antitussant
synthetic drugs
yes
meperidine (demerol)
shorter duration of action than morphine and is used for shorter analgesia. orally active, 1/10th potent of morphine
fentanyl
oral active but used iv in anesthesia; short duration, lipid soluble, redistribution is major means of termination of action; 80x more potent than morphine
fentanyl uses?
anesthetic induction
sole anesthetic for cardio surg
neuroleptic state, combined with drperidol
alfentanil and sufentanil
similar to fentanyl
methadone
same action and potency; but long half life, orally active
LAAM
long acting congener of methadone that is used for maint treatment of heroin addiction
so put methadone and laam together in head
yes
propoxyphene
very similar to codeine so remember them together
loperamide (imodium) and diphenoxylate
only for treatment of diarrhea
opioid overdose
coma
depressed respiration
miosis
tx
restore respiration,
administer naloxone
(but naloxone duration is only few hours so can wear off before cure)
interactions
sed/hypnotics, ehtanol, mao inhib, tricyc antidepress, tranquilizers
opioid antagonists and agonist antagonists
yes
pure antagonist
naloxone: works on all receptors
short duration of action
drug of choice for opium overdose
another pure antagonist
naltrexone,
24 hour duration
orally active
agonist/antagonist
yes
Pentazocine
used as an analgesic for mild to moderate pain

weak mu antag, so blocks morph analges and induces withdrawal in physically dependent...
does pentazocine block morphine respiratory depression?
NO!
pentazocine agonist where?
agonist at kappa receptors and sigma recept
1. spinal analgesia that is as effective as morph,
2. resp dep less severe
3. dysphoria and hallucinations with repeated high doses
withdrawal sympt?
milder than morphine withdrawal
can you block the kappa effects?
yes with naloxone
Nalbuphine and butorphanol
analgesic for moderate to severe
antagonist?
mu antagonist
agonist
kappa
produces effective analgesia
low incidence of psychotomimetic effect because don't bind SIGMA
milder withdrawal

Can be blocked by naloxone
Buprenorphine
analgesic for mod to severe pain
agonist
partial mu (effects are slow in onset and long lasting)
what are these effects?
analgesic
respiratory depression; only minor problem with this drug
euphoria
miosis
mild morphine type abstinence syndrome
antagonist?
induces an morph abstinence syndrome
also, kappa antagonist
antag'd by
naloxone
another something useful
can replace methadone
