what triggers the pain modulation pathway in the brain?
the pain signal itself
stress caused by pain
certain analgesic drugs like morphine
what Nts play roles in pain modulation
NE
Seratonin
GABA
endogenous opioid peptides
what drug reverses stimulated analgesia? (the first)
naloxone
list some opioids
opium
morphine
codeine
heroin
3 principal EOP precursors are:
1. pro-opiomelanocortin (beta endorphin)
2. pro-enkephalin
3. prodynorphin
tell me about EOP production
not produced directly by biosynthesis......you get cleavage of peptides
what "couters pain and is credited for the placebo effect"
brain's endogenous opiate system
acupuncture
activates endogenous pain modulation pathway
papaver soniferum
opium
list 4 natural/semi-synthetic opioids
morphine/codeine
hydromorhone
hydrocodone
oxycodone
list 3 synthetic opioids
1. phenylpiperidines (fentanyl, sulfentanil, meperidine)
2. methadones (propoxyphene, methadone, LAAM)
3. morphinans (levorphanol)
list 2 mixed agonist/atagonist opioid drugs
buprenorphine
pentazocine
list 2 antitussive opioids
codeine
dextromethorphan
list 2 opioid antagonists
naloxone
naltrexone
opioid receptors
mu kappa delta
2 uses of opioids
decrease pain (w/out LoC)
decrease cough
pain and opiods
patient still has pain but DOESNT CARE!
has high oral/parental potentcy ratio
oxycodone (oxycontin)
morphine
slowly absorbed
t1/2 of 2 hrs
active metabolite of morphine
m6g...m3g is inactive
m3g gets excreted.....an m6g transported used to get into brain
m6g 2x as potent as __
morphine
herioin cross BBB ___ than morphine...bind poorly to ___ receptors and requiires ___ activation w/in the body AND get's converted to __ and __ in brain
crosses faster....binds poorly to mu receptors...requires metabolic activation in body and gets converted to morh
tell me about meperidine toxicities
you have have meperidine-overdose syndrome and mepridine MAOI syndrome
meperidine overdose syndrome
nor-meperidine caused.....Sx = restlessness, halucinations, convulsions
which phenylpiperidine is used during labor and actually causes restlessness and not sedation
meperidine
tell me about fentanyl and sulfentanil
both are phenylpiperidine opioid drugs; both are mu agonists....fentanyl 100x M and sulfentanyl 1000x M; got give rapid recovery and little CV effects
what are the 3 methadones? and what is the use?
propoxyphene
methadone
LAAM

manage withdrawal syndrome
dont mix methadone and morphine...why?
no euphoria
if you take methadone daily what happens?
accum in tissues and get a low steady plasm [ ]
define the properties of mixed agonist/antagonist opioid drugs
ANTAGONIZE mu receptors
agonize kappa and delta receptors
what are the 2 mixed ago/ant opioid drugs?
pentazocine and buprenorphine
pentazocine is
partial mu agonist
full kappa agonist (where you get the analgesia)
buprenorphine
mu partial agonist (no activity on kappa/delta)
what are 2 antitussive opioids?
codeine
dextromethorphan
cough receptors (targeted)
not your kappa, delta, mu
3-O-methyl morhpine
codeine
analgesic effect of codeine due to?
antitussive effect of codeine to?
morphine
tussive do to distince receptors in cough center
dextromethorphan properties
no analgesic or addictive properties
acts to elevate cough threshold
2 opioid antagonists...and which one is the fast one
naloxone - pure and short acting
naltrexone
which opioid antagonist muct be given parenterally b/c of high 1st pass effect
naloxone
used to treat alcoholism
naltrexone
blocks euphoric effects of heroin and reverses the psychotomimetic and dysphoric effects of petaocine
naloxone
list some toxicities of opioids at sites not associated w/ analgesia
miosis
decreased respiration
emesis/nausea
convulsions
GI effects
liver disease
if pt has then be careful using opioids
rapid tolerance to opioids develops regarding what? but not what?
analgesia
sedation
euphoria
nausea/emesis
cough

NOT constipation, and covulsant EFX
EOPs and opioid drugs inhibit __ and ___ Nt function
pre and postsynaptic
EOPs and opioid drugs block pre-syn release of what Nts
AcH, NE, glutamate, serotonin, substance P
EOPS and opioid drugs inhibit postsynaptic neurotransmitter function by increasing __ efflux and inducing ____of postsynaptic membrane
K+ efflux and inducing hyperpolarization of the post syn membrane
opioid agonist at the presyn opioid receptor causes what to happen? and what about the post syn receptor?
decrease Ca2+ etry and decr Nt release.....at post syn you get increased K+ efflux leading to hyperpolarization
at the SUPRAspinal levels opioid drugs activate the ___ (though opioids act at moth supra and spinal levels)....causing ANALGESIA
descending pain modulation pathway
