Exam review Flashcards
MOR Specificity
endorphins>enkephalins>dynorphins
DOR specificity
enkephalins
KOR Specificity
dynorphins
key features: structure of opioid receptor
–extracellular and intracellular loops: ligand binding and signaling
-intracellular C terminus including phosphorylation sites
-extracellular N-terminus including glycosylation sites
Opioids ascending pathway
-block release of excitatory NTs by blocking Ca channels
-enhance K channels causing hyperpolarization
-as a result, opioid block the release glutamate and substance P
Opioids in descending pathway
-enhance pain relief by reducing the release of GABA
DOR Opioid receptor
-agonist can have analgesic effect
-serious side effects
KOR opioid receptos
-analgesia
psychotomimetic effects
Opioid Receptor Signaling
1)Agonist binds
2) G protein binds
3) Arrestin recruitment, signaling and internalization
4) recycling or degradation
oxycodone metabolism
-3A4 -noroxycodone
-2D6-oxymorphone
Methadone metabolism
-3A4, 2B6, 2D6
-excreted in urine and bile
Buprenorphine
-partial mu agonist, antagonist
Embeda
morphine + naltrexone
Talwin
Pentazocin+Naloxone
Targiniq
Oxycodone+Naloxone
Simple partial
preserved consciosness
complex partial
impaired consciusness
absence seizure
staring and cessation of ongoing activities
myoclonic seizure
breif shock like contraction
tonic clonic seizure
sustained contraction, relaxation
GABA-B
-metabotropic(G-protein coupled)
-produces slow and prolonged inhibitory signals
