Opioid Agonist Flashcards
General structures of opioid Agonist
Pheantherenes:
Morphine, codiene, Thebaine-
Structure Benzylisoqinolone:
Papverine and Noscapine
Opioid agonist MOA
Same receptors are activated by endogenous enkephalins, endorphins, and dynorphins
‣ Presynaptic inhibition of ACH, dopamine, NE, and Substance P
‣ Increased K conductance → HYPERPOLARIZATION
‣Ca + channel inactivation → Decreased neurotransmission
Opioid Agonist Uses
- Analgesia
2.Sedation - Anti-shivering
4.Cough suppression: Codeine, dextromethorphan
General CV effects
Bradycardia from histamine release
Hypotension
Orthostatic hypotension induced syncope
NITROUS AND BENZO= ↑ CV DEPRESSION (CO&BP)
BENEFIT: cardioprotective from MI
Direct depression of SA and AV node
Opioid General CNS
Miosis,
Sedation,
Myoclonus
delta waves on EEG
Tolerance: 2-3 weeks, down regulates receptors
Depressed respiratory center (Pons/Medulla)
Depressed medullary cough center
Caution with use in head injury!Decrease in CBF
*Skeletal muscle rigidity of thoracic & abdominal
Worsened with mechanical ventilation, treat with muscle relaxers or naloxone
Receptor µ1 (Mu1)
µ1 (Mu1): Analgesia (supraspinal, spinal )
Eupohoria, low abuse potential, miosis Bradycardia, hypothermia, urinary retention.
Mu1: “slow cold cant see cen’t bee but happy”
Receptor µ2 (Mu2):
µ2 (Mu2): Analgesia (spinal)
Depressed ventilation, physical dependence Constipation (marked)
Mu2: Can’t breathe, can’t poo - addicted too!”
Receptor K (Kappa):
K (Kappa): Analgesia (supraspinal, spinal)
dysphoria, sedation, low abuse, misosis, Diuresis
Receptor Delta:
Delta: Analgeisa (supraspinal, spinal)
Depressed ventilation, physical dependence
constipation (minimal) , urinary retention
Receptors Overview
Opioids Respiratory Overview..
‣ ↓ response of ventilation centers to CO2, and this will require higher ETCO2 for them to start breathing again. CO2 NARCOSIS is an issue - if CO2 too high like 60
‣increase in resting PaCO2 (shifts curve to the right).
‣MU2 → ventilatory depression, ↓ rate but ↑ in TV (Vm doesn’t change)
‣ overdose will induce apnea, miosis, hypoventilation, and coma
‣ reversal of ventilatory depression with physostigmine! it increases levels of ACH in CNS to antagonize the ventilatory depression but does not effect the analgesia.
‣ Pre- induction dose of opioids can induce coughing
Opioid GI general
GI:
Sphincter of Oddi Spasms (can mimic MI pain)
‣ Fentanyl 99%
‣ Meperidine 61%
‣Morphine 53%
Treatment: Nalaxone or Glucagon (2 mg IV, incremental doses), glucagon preferred b/c no opioid analgesic antagonism.
If these do not relieve pain then give nitro for MI pain.
Delayed Gastric Emptying and constipation
N/V: direct stimulation of the CTZ (chemoreceptor trigger zone)
Opioid Misc:
Rigidity: chest wall and abdominal muscles
Cutaneous: Skin flushing d/t histamine
Hormonal: decreased cortisol
PLACENTAL CROSSING–> NEONATE DEPRESSION or chronic use causes dependence
Opioid General GU
Urinary urgency/retention
Withdrawl:
Initial symptoms: yawning, diaphoresis, lacrimation, or coryza, insomnia and restlessness
72 hrs: Abdominal cramps, N/V, and diarrhea
Least to most potent
Codiene: (120mg = 10 mg morphine)
Meperidine: (pethidine) 1/10th
potency of morphine
Morphine:
Hydromorphone: (5x more potent than morphine)
Alfentanil: (1/5th less potent than fentanyl)
Fentanyl: (sublimaze)
75 to 125 x more potent than morphine
Remifentanil: 15-20 x as potent as alfentanil
equipotent to fentanyl- so the order of these two is subjectional
Sufentanil:
(5-12 x more potent than fentanyl)
MOA for Meperidine (pethidine)
Agonist at 𝝻 and K receptors
Also agonist at alpha 2 receptors
MOA for Remifentanil
Selective µ opioid agonist
Structure of Meperidine
Structural similar to
lidocaine: tertiary amine, ester group and lipophilic phenyl group
Atropine (causes similar effect of spasms of muscle)
Structure of Hydromorphone
Morphine derivative
Structure of Alfentanil
Meperidine analoge
Structure of Fentanyl
meperidine analogue
Structure of Remifentanil
Ester structure
Meperidine analogue
Sufentanil
Analogue of fentanyl (1974)
meperidine analogue
Codiene clinical uses
Cough suppressant
analgesic
Meperidine Clinical Uses
Intrathecal administration
IM for postop analgesia
Post op shivering because of K and a2 receptors
***clonidine also works for postop shivering at a2 receptors
Morphine Clinical Uses
Relieves visceral, skeletal muscles, joints and integumental dull > sharp (better for post op c-fiber pain)
intermittent pain
Hydromorphone clinical uses
same as morphine
Relieves visceral, skeletal muscles, joints and integumental dull > sharp (better for post op c-fiber pain)
intermittent pain
