Lecture 5 Flashcards
Drug developed to make spies confess themselves, serotonomimetic drug acting in presynaptic receptors of the midbrain leading to pupillary dilation, increased blood pressure and body temp, induces hallucinations with bright colors and mood alteration, causes hyperreflexia, nausea, musclular weakness and Long Lasting Psychotic Changes
Lysergic acid- LSD
Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, ketamine analog that causes Dissociative Anesthesia, difficult to talk, walk and hostile behavior, CNS actions may persist for a week. Week-long trips
Phencyclidine- PCP- angel dust
active alkaloid is dronabinol, produces euphoria, relaxation, drowsiness, impairs short term memory and mental actiity, increase appetitie and promote visual hallucinations, delusions, and enhanced sensory activity, reddening of conjunctiva.
Tetrahydrocarabinol- Cannabis sativa
Natural or synthetic compounds with a morphine-like effect, they bind to speficit CNS receptors, nerve terminals in peripheral nervous system and GI tract, mimic action of neurotransmitter opiopeptins, primary use for relieve of intense pain and anxiety
Opiods
portion of brain that mediates respiration, cough nausea and vomit
Brainstem
Portion of CNS that mediates deep pain and is emotionally influenced
Medial thalamus
Portion of CNS that attenuates afferent stimuli
Spinal Cord
Portion of brain that affects neuroendocrine secretion
Hypothalamus
Portion of CNS that influences emotional behavior- amygdala
Limbic System
Portion of CNS that contributes to anti inflammatory effects
Periphery
Portion of immune system with unknown opioid function
Immune Cells
major opioid agonist, analgesic, presynaptic inhibition-hyperpolarization of neuroreceptor release, relieves pain without loss of consciousness, strong cough supressant, decreases response to CO2 concentration,
Morphine
Opioid that causes Miosis by exciting the Edinger-Westphal nucleus of the oculomotor nerve, important for diagnosis of cause of coma, because all other causes will cause dilated pupil
Morphine
Opioid that inhibits nausea vomiting, and peristalsis, and decreases smooth muscle motility
Morphine
Opioid contraindicated in severe brain injury
Morphine
Opioid that is contraindicated in asthma patients because it can cause bronchoconstriction, and inhibits release of gonadotropin and corticotropin, decreasing hormone levels, and causing fluid retention
Morphine
3 functions of opioids- Morphine
analgesic, diarrhea, cough
opioid that is distributed in all body tissues except the brain- does not cross BBB, but does cross the placenta
Morphine
Analgesia is enhanced with low doses of amphetamines with this opioid
Morphine
Synthetic opioid used for analgesia, mostly IM, risk for dependence
Meperidine
Drug used to treat withdrawal from opioids, but may also produce dependence
Methadone
opioid chemically related to meperidine but with 80X analgesic potency of morphine
Fentanyl
Produced by acetylation of morphine, which increases potency 3x, it readily crosses the blood brain barrier with more euphoric action
Heroin
moderate opioid agonist, derivative of methadone, used in combo with aspirin or acetaminophen to increase analgesic effect, psychological and physical dependence
Propoxyphene
moderate opioid agonist, Less potent analgesic, but strong antitussive action, rarely produces dependence, and used in combo with aceto or aspirin for analgesia, causes euphoria, widely used by dentist after tooth extraction
Codeine
Mixed agonist-antagonist opioid
Pentazocine and BURPRENORPHINE
Mixed agonist-antagonist opioid, newest drug used for opioid addiction
Burprenorphine
Opioid antagonist, used to treat opioid overdose and reverse coma
Naloxene
