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.
