Q

Clinical use of opioids

A

Mainly used for their analgesic properties in the management of acute + chronic pain

  • Moderate - severe pain e.g. fentanyl
  • Cough e.g. codeine
  • Diarrhoea e.g. loperamide
  • Opioid dependance e.g. methadone

Why are non-metabolites limited therapeutically?

A
31
Q

Why do some patients not respond to codeine-based analgesics?

A
32
Q

Phase 2: What do phenols conjugate with?

What type of patients have those conjugates found in their urine + are they active?

A

Phenols conjugate with either glucuronic acid or sulfate

Both conjugates found in urine of patients taking multicyclic opioids

Mainly inactive

33
Q

Phase 2 conjugation impacts on _______

A
34

A
39
Q

Draw synthesis of N-alkylated morphine analogues

A
40
Q

Functionalisation of 2ndary amine using alkyl halides leads to a range of N-alkylmorphines

What alkyl morphines cause:

  • increase in antagonism?
  • 0 activity?
  • agonists?
  • 14x activity of morphine?
A
41
Q

How was Naloxone produced?

What is the clinical use of Naloxone?

A
42
Q

In simplification, _____ complexity causes ________ of synthesis

A
43
Q

Which 5 rings in the morphine skeleton has no activity if it is removed?

A

E

44
Q

Name structure if:

  • D is removed?
  • C + D is removed?
  • B, C + D is removed?
  • B, C, D + E is removed?

All of the rings above have been removed but which one has a rapid onset of analgesic action but short onset?

A
45
Q

Which levorphanol isomer has little/no activity?

A

(+) isomer

46
Q

If we want to extend morphine, what do we add to form a:

  • antagonist?
  • increase activity?
A

Antagonist = allyl on N

Increase activity = phenethyl

47
Q

Which simplified morphine analogue causes higher toxicity than morphine?

A
48
Q

Example of a 4-phenylpiperidine + describe clinical use

A
49
Q

Name a successful piperidine derivative + explain why it is good

A

Fentanyl

100x > potent than morphine

Lacks OH in phenol but still lipophilic

50
Q

Which methadone isomer is active?

A
51
Q

Where is methadone’s chiral centre?

A
52
Q

What is the clinical use of methadone?

A
53
Q

Why is methadone marketed in its racemic form?

A
54
Q

What is the clinical use of methadone’s S(+) isomer + how does this lead to its serious side effects?

A
55
Q

Methadone has a prolonged duration of action.

Why is this?

A
56
Q

How is methadone administrated?

A

Orally or Injection

57
Q

A patient has difficulty swallowing orally.

How can they be administered methadone?

A

Swish + spit

Patients who struggle swallowing oral dosage forms use methadone with alkalinising agent to increase saliva pH from 6.4 - 8.5

If solution is held in mouth for 2 and a half minutes, buccal absorption of 85% is achieved

Describe tramadol metabolism

A

O-demethylated via CYP2D6 metabolism to more potent opioid (200 fold increase)

A
64
Q

What is the diers-alders reaction?
