Available in preparation w/ naloxone (Suboxone) or by itself (Buprenex)
Inactive metabolite (nor-)

A

27
Q

Location of opioid metabolism in body.

A

Liver

Metabolized to more polar compounds

28
Q

Primary mechanisms of metabolism of opioids.

A

N-dealkylation, conjugation of hydroxyl groups, hydrolysis

29
Q

3 Opioids where the metabolites account for most of the desired effects

A

Codeine, Heroin, Tramadol

30
Q

Isozyme largely responsible for first-pass metabolism of Opioids

A

CYP2D6

31
Q

Morphine is primarily excreted as:

A

Morphine-3-glucuronide (inactive)

*Morphine-6-glucuronide (more potent than morphine)

**Think about how codeine is less potent and that differs from morphine at 3 group also

32
Q

Opioid effects on:

Pupils
Eye Reaction to Light
Pulse
Blood Pressure
Body Temperature

A

Pupils - constricted
Eye Reaction to Light - little to none
Pulse - down
Blood Pressure - down
Body Temperature - down

33
Q

3 main signs of opioid ODs

A

CNS depression (respiratory depression)
Coma
Pinpoint Pupils

34
Q

Compound present indicates ingestion of poppy seeds

A

Thebaine

35
Q

The opioid receptor that produces central depression, analgesia, miosis, reduced gastrointestinal motility

A

Mu

36
Q

Opioid used clinically since 1957, but recommended for removal from the U.S. drug market in 2010.

A

Propoxyphene

37
Q

When codeine is taken as a parent drug, approximately _______ is metabolized to morphine.

A

10%

38
Q

Semisynthetic analgesic agonist derived from codeine that is used in cough syrups:

A

Hydrocodone

39
Q

In the hair matrix, 6-MAM has been detected in hair of heroin users at typically _______ concentrations than for morphine.

The same
smaller
greater
6-MAM not present in hair

A

Greater

40
Q

Opioids are _______ in nature.
Basic, Neutral, or Acidic

A

Basic

41
Q

Organic solvents are often used to extract opioids from aqueous mixtures in the pH range of:

A

8-10

42
Q

True or False: Opiates cause pupil dilation.

A

False

They cause constriction.

43
Q

Has less potency relative to morphine:

Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, Fentanyl, Codeine, Methadone

A

Codeine

44
Q

_______ is the major metabolic route for opioids that contain available hydroxyl (OH) groups.

Sulfation, Demethylation, Glucuronidation, Dealkylation, Methylation

A

Glucuronidation

45
Q

True or False: Only the levorotatory isomer of morphine is a potent analgesic.

A

True

46
Q

Successfully used for the treatment of respiratory depression after postsurgical opioid administration:

Buprenorphine, Levorphanol, Methadone, Nalbuphine, Fentanyl

A

Nalbuphine

47
Q

This metabolite is more potent than morphine:

Morphine-6-glucuronide, Codeine, Tramadol,
Morphine-3-glucuronide, Morphine

Q

The presence of a low concentration of codeine relative to morphine may indicate the use of _______.

Codeine only
Morphine only
