4 groups of endogenous opioid peptides?
|
Enkephalins, beta-endorphin, Dynorphins, and endomorphins
|
|
How do the pain meds work?
|
agonist on the presynaptic pain neuron. By stimulating a mu receptor, the pain receptor releases endorphins, dynorphins, endomorphins, or enkephalins which bind to the presynaptic neuron and prevent release of substance P (pain transmitter).
|
|
The three types of opiate receptors in the body?
|
Mu (1 and 2 in test animals), Kappa, Delta
|
|
Mu Effects?
|
Analgesia (supraspinal, spinal), Euphoria (not sleep - do not produce anesthesia only analgesia); ventilatory depression; physical dependence; Miosis (pinpoint pupils); Constipation (marked); Bradycardia, hypothermia, urinary retention, pruritus, skeletal muscle rigidity, biliary spasm
|
|
Mu agonists
|
Endorphins, Morphine, Synthetic opioids
|
|
Mu Antagonists
|
Naloxone, Naltrexone, Nalmefene
|
|
Kappa receptor effects
|
Analgesia (supraspinal, spinal), Dysphoria (some people feel bad with narcotics), sedation, low abuse potential, miosis
|
|
Delta Receptor effects
|
Analgesia (supraspinal, spinal), depression of ventilation, physical dependence, constipation (minimal), urinary retention
|
|
Kappa Agonists
|
Dynorphins
|
|
Delta Agonists
|
Enkephalins
|
|
Kappa Antagonists
|
Naloxone, Naltrexone, Nalmafene
|
|
Delta Antagonists
|
Naloxone, Naltrexone, Nalmafene
|
|
reversal with Naloxone works on which receptors?
|
All! Mu, Kappa, Delta
|
|
Amount of ______ is always equal to the amount of ________!
|
analgesia; respiratory depression
|
|
Classes of opioid agonists
|
Phenanthrene Alkaloids
Synthetic opioids Phenylpiperidine Derivatives Propionilide (methadone) derivatives |
|
Agonists in the Phenanthrene Alkaloid class
|
Naturally occurring (directly from poppy plant): Morphine, Codeine, Thebaine
Semi synthetic (start with natural product and tweak it): diacetylmorphine (heroine), hydrocodone (vicoden), hydromorphone (dilaudid), oxycodone (oxycontin), oxymorphone. |
|
Agonists in the Synthetic opioid class:
|
Drug is completely man-made Morphinan Derivatives Levorphanol
|
|
Agonists in the Phenylpiperidine Derivatives class
|
Meperidine, Fentanyl, Sufentanil, Alfentanil, Remifentanil
|
|
Agonists in the Propionilide class
|
(methadone) derivatives
Methadone Propoxyphene |
|
Demerol allergy means they can't get?
|
Phenylpiperidine Derivatives:
Meperidine Fentanyl Sufentanil Alfentanil Remifentanil |
|
If allergic to Morphine they could get?
|
Synthetic opioids: Morphinan Derivatives Levorphanol
Phenylpiperidine Derivatives: Meperidine, Fentanyl, Sufentanyl, Alfentanil, Remifentanyl Propionilide (methadone) derivatives: Methadone, Propoxyphene |
|
All narcotics are metabolized by?
|
The liver by cytochrome enzymes by the usual drug metabolizing routes nothing special about metab. If someone enzyme induced=metab faster (requires more opiates) if inhib=metab slower; liver disease=slower metab so needs less med than others. 3-6 hr half-life for most
|
|
What enzyme is responsible for remifentanyl metab?
|
non-esterase dependent enzymes in plasma = extremely short duration of action. Metab via ester hydrolysis = duration of action = minutes
|
|
Demerol metab=
|
gets metab to normeperidine which is an active CNS & renal toxic metab. nor=group gets knocked off. Reason use has been avoided and some hospitals took off formulary. Metab produced with several days use and can cause seizure or other CNS excitement especially with elderly or those with renal disease (b/u since not excreting via kidneys)
|
|
which of the opioids has the shortest T1/2?
|
Remifentanil = 0.17-0.33 hrs
|
|
Acute effx of opioids
|
Analgesia
Ventilatory depression sedation euphoria vasodilation bradycardia cough suppression miosis nausea and vomiting skeletal muscle rigidity smooth muscle spasm constipation urinary retention biliary spasm pruritis, rash antishivering (meperidine only) |
|
Chronic effects of opioids
|
tolerance, physical dependence, constipation
|
|
Acute effect of opioid: Analgesia:
|
not anesthetics, won't put to sleep.
|
|
Acute effect of opioid use: Ventilatory depression
|
Opiates decrease sensitivity to CO2 of the respiratory center in brain. The CO2 response curve SHIFTS to the RIGHT. Higher CO2 to drive the same amount of respiratory depth and rate. Doesn't matter which narcotic if same potency. Every time you give more morphine the CO2 response curve is shifted further to the RIGHT. Opiates are respiratory depressants. The amount of respiratory depression is = to the amt of analgesia.
