Opiods Agonist/Antagonists Flashcards
3 types of Opioids class
Opioid agonist Opioid antagonist Opioid agonist-antagonists
Opioids derived from
Opium, meaning juice
Narcotic is a greek word for
Stupor
Why is opiod unique?
Produces analgesia without loss of proprioception, touch or consciousness
Bind to receptor site to elicit a response definition
Agonist
ONLY this form have an AGONIST ACTIVITY
LEVOROTATORY
Blocks agonist from binding
Antagonist
Opiod agonist-antagonists
partially bind to mu receptors produces a limited response (partial Agonist) or no effect (competitive antagonist)
