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
