Opiods Flashcards
morphine, codeine, thebaine
Opiates
compounds structurally related to products found in opium
Opiates
substances that are endogenous/synthetic that produce morphine-like effects that are blocked by antagonists such as naloxone
Opioids
derived from beta lipoprotein
endorphins
o newly discovered
o localized in areas in the CNS associated with pain
endormorphines
first discovered opioid peptides
enkephalins
site at which all the currently available pure agonists act to produce analgesia
A. MU RECEPTORS
B. KAPPA RECEPTORS
C. DELTA RECEPTORS
MU RECEPTORS
responsible for most of the analgesic effects of opioids & for some major unwanted effects
A. MU RECEPTORS
B. KAPPA RECEPTORS
C. DELTA RECEPTORS
MU RECEPTORS
o dysphoria
o hallucinations
A. MU RECEPTORS
B. KAPPA RECEPTORS
C. DELTA RECEPTORS
B
can be preconvulsant
A. MU RECEPTORS
B. KAPPA RECEPTORS
C. DELTA RECEPTORS
C
opioid antagonist
naloxone
related to pain or is painful stimuli
nociceptive stimuli
has direct effect on the heart because of its antimuscarinic action → tachycardia
MEPERIDINE
equal in potency to morphine but less euphoria & longer
duration of action
METHADONE
→ 100-fold analgesic potency of morphine
FENTANYL
