Opioid Receptor types & effects
mu -> supraspinal & spinal
morphine-like analgesia, respiratory depression, euphoria, physical dependence

delta -> spinal analgesia -> enkephaline selective interaction

kappa -> spinal analgesia -> miosis, sedation (pentazocine-like)
Morphine Physiological Actions
"HECk of a DREAM"
↑Histamine & hormonal (↑Prolactin, ↓ GRH, CRH, CH, FSH, ACTH)
Emesis
Contract smooth mm (biliary & bladder/ureter)
CV changes (orthostat hypo)
Decreased cough, GI motility, uterine tone, Depress mental (sedation)
Respiratory depression (also causes dilation of cerebral vasculature -> ↑ICP)
Euphoria
Analgesia
Miosis
Morphine acts on which receptors
mu (strong), delta (weak), kappa (weak)
Heroin differences from morphine and metabolism
lipid soluble -> CROSS BBB
glucuronide conjug -> urine & bile
Treatment of morphine OD
atropine + naloxone (also diagnostic c/o reverses effects)
Codeine effects
same as morphine except:
anti-tussic
less euphoria
more effective orally
Opioid alkaloid mnemonic
"CODE LEVels call for MORe HEROIN"
Codein, Levorphanol, Morphine/Hydromorphone, Heroin
Codeine acts on which receptors
kappa (weak) and delta (weak)
Levorphanol what is it
routes of admin
Strong opioid agonist
oral or parenteral
Cross-tolerance to morphine
meperidine & codeine
Effects cannot get tolerance to w/ opioids
miosis & constipation
Meperidine mnemonic
"Me poor mom had me in labor & pushed w/ anti-muscles wide eyed w/ amazement"
Meperidine uses, DOA & Admin
Use: labor & moderate/severe pain
Action: SHORT DOA, weaker than morphine

ORAL (no 1st pass metab)
Meperidine acts on which receptor
mu agonist
Meperidine actions, SE, admin
Anti-SLUD/anti-muscarinic
Depress repiration
DILATES PUPIL
Blurred vision
TACHYCARDIA (c/o decrease TPR)
Diphenoxylate use
Diarrhea (diphenoxylate + atropine)
"Diarrhea is not too (di) phen atropine all"
Fentanyl acts at which receptor
DOA
metabolism
mu agonist
RAPID onset
Short DOA (Fentanyl is Fast)
Fentanyl use
Labor, Post-Op, Pre-op (Anaesthesia), Chronic pain (e.g. cancer)
Sufentanyl properties
analogue of fentanyl; short duration
high addiction and OD toxicity
Methadone acts on which receptors? for how long? How is it used & administered?
mu agonist, Oral admin
LONG DOA: 15-40 hrs (lipid soluble -> cross BBB)
Tx for heroin addicts: long doa decrease withdrawal & blocks reinforcement/criminal activity
NOTE: Very addictive
Oxycodone acts on which receptors
Use?
Mu agonist
Moderate/severe pain; opioid tolerant pt -> sustained release tablets (#1 killer of abusers)
(Note: oxy + aspirin + acetaminophen = Percocet)
Propoxyphene site of action
Use
Side effects
mu receptors
mild/moderate analgesia, anti-tussic
Nausea, anorexia, constipation
(Toxic dose: resp depress, pulmonary edema, cardiotoxic, delusions/HALLUCINATIONS - like EtOH withdrawal)
Pentazocine site of action & MOA
mixed agonist:
kappa agonist
mu antag/partial agonis
MOA: Release NE from Sympathetic fibers
Pentazocine mnemonic
Pentagrams seen breathing on ceiling BUT not on PHAN AT ALL (Butorphanol = less halluc)
Krazy? Maybe (Kappa, Mu)
Pentazocine Side effects
Psychomimetic (hallucinations)
High dose: increase BP & HR (from NE)
Ceiling effect for resp. depression
Buprenorphine site of action
DOA
Partial mu agonist
Long DOA
Buprenorphine use
Side effects
Office detox (Bupre + Naltrexone)
Can precip. withdrawal
Resp depression RESISTS Naloxone
("Bupre No Naloxone work")
MORE potent than morphine (25-50x)
Butorphanol site of action
Side effects
Kappa (strong)
Mu (antagonist or partial agonist)
Less psychomimetic effects
Ceiling for resp. depression
Tramodol site of action
MOA
mu (weak) (synthetic codeine analogue)
Inhibits reuptake of NE & 5-HT
("One way tram to exciting (NE), feel-good (serotonin) land")
Tramodol use
side effects
moderate pain

OD can -> respiratory depression
Naloxone use
Site of action/MOA
DOA
Opioid OD (DOC); possible for shock, eating disorder
Mu, kappa, delta ANTAGONIST (binds w/o activating)
Short DOA (addict can relapse)
Naloxone route of admin
metabolism
IV c/o 1st pass metabolism
Glucuronide (rapidly)
Use lower dose titrated slow to avoid withdrawal effects
Naltrexone use
Opioid abuse (Naltrexone + clonidine or buprenorphine)
ALCOHOLISM (1x/month)
Naltrexone route of admin
DOA
Metabolism
Oral
Long DOA
1st pass metabolism
Dextromethorphan
Anti-tussic (oral, OTC)
