!Narcotic Analgesics Flashcards
Analgesia
Relief of pain without loss of consciousness
Opium
Natural extract from poppy plant used for social and medicinal purpose for thousands of years to produce euphoria, analgesia, sleep and to prevent diarrhea
Opoid drugs
Natural+synthetic morphine-like drugs
Narcotic
Opoid analgesics
Compounds related to opium and applies to any substance whether endogenous synthetic or semisynthetic drugs that produce morphine like effects that are blocked by antagonists such as naloxone
Antagonist to narcotics
Naloxone
Opium effects
Euphoria, analgesia and sleep, and to prevent diarrhea
Opiates
Drugs derived from opium, and they clued the natural products morphine, codeine, and the wine, and may semisynthetic derivatives such as buprenorphine
Endogenous ones are naturally occurring ligand for opoid receptors
What are opoid analgesics used for
Severe pain
Moderate pain
How do opoids such as heroin and morphine work
Mimicking naturally occurring substances called endogenous opoid peptides or endorphins
Phenanthrenes
Morphine Codeine Hydrocodone Hydromorphone Levophanol Oxycodone Oxymorphone Beprenorphone Nalbuphine Butorphanol Naloxone Heroin
Benzomorphans
Pentazocine
Diphenoxylate
Loperamide
Phenylpiperidines
Meperidine
Fentanyl
Sufentanil
Remifentanil
Diphenylheptanes
Methadone
Propoxyphene
Natural opium alkaloids
Morphine, codeine
Semisynthetic opiates
Hydromorphone, oxymorphones
Synthetic opoids
Pethidine, tramadol, methadone, fentanyl, alfentanil, remifentanil
Opoid agonist-antagonists
Pentazocine
Partial mu receptor agonist
Buprenorphine
Mu receptor antagonist
Naltrexone
Analgesics
Morphine Hydromorphinemethadone Meperidine Fentanyl Codeine Oxycodone Hydrocodone Propoxyphene Dextromethorphan
Mixed receptor agonist antagonists
Pentazocine
Nalbuphine
Buprenorphine
Butorphanol
Opoid antagonists
Naloxone
Naltrexone
Indications for use of hospital narcotics to relieve pain
MI Sickle cell crisis Positive operative procedures Trauma Cancer Kidney stones Back pain
Adjunct to general anesthesia Epidural Palliative care Antitussice Antidiarrheal
MOA
Presynaptic mu receptor activation inhibits calcium influx into sensory neurons, which decreases NT release
Postsynaptic mu receptor activation increases K efflux, which decrease postsynaptic response to excitatory Neurotransmission
Postsynaptic mu receptor activation increases K effluent, which decreases postsynaptoc response to extraordinary NT
Ok
Effects of opoids
Analgesic(stimulant)
Antidiarrheal(stimulant)
Analgesic(dampen)
Antitussive(dampen)
Morphine good amount
Decrease in pain perception (nociception)
Too much morphine
Respiratory depression
Oversee
Morphine, methadone, fentanyl MOA
Strong mu receptor agonist and variable affinity delta and k receptors
Effects of morphine, methadone and fentanyl
Analgesia, relief of anxiety, sedation, slowed GI transit
Clinical applications of morphine , methadone, fentanyl
Severe pain, adjunct in anesthesia (fentanyl, morphine), pulmonary edema (morphine only) maintence in rehabilitation programs (methadone only)
Pharmacokinetics morphine , methadone, fentanyl
First pass effect
Duration 1-4 hours(except methadone which is 4-6)
Toxicity morphine , methadone, fentanyl
Respiratoy depression, severe constipation, addiction liability, convulsion
Hydromorphone, oxymorphone
Like morphine in efficacy, but higher potency
Meperdine
Strong agonist with anticholinergic effects
Oxycodone
Dose dependent analgesia
Sufentanil, alfentanil, remifentanil
Like fentanyl but shorter duration of action
Codeine , hydrocodone
Opoid agonists
Less efficacious than morphine can antagonize strong agonists
Effects of codeine and hydrocodone
Like strong agonists, and weaker effects
Clinical applications codeine, hydrocodone
Mild-moderate pain, cough(codeine)
Pharmacokinetics codeine, hydrocodone
Like strong agonists
Toxicity codeine hydrocodone
Dependent on genetic variation or metabolism
Buprenorphine
Mixed opoid agonist-antagonist
Partial mu agonist and k antagonist
Effects buprenorphine
Like strong agonists but can antagonist their effects and also reduces craving for alcohol
Clinical application buprenorphine
Moderate pain and some maintence rehabilitation programs
Pharmacokinetics buprenorphine
Long duration of action 4-8 h
May precipitate abstinence syndrome
Nalbuphine
Mixed opoid agonist antagonist
K agonist and mu antagonist
Effects of nalbuphine
Like strong agonists but can antagonize their effects also reduces craving for alcohol
Clinical application nalbuphine
Moderate pain
Nalbuphine pharmacokinetics
Long duration of action 4-8 h may precipitate abstinence syndrome
