Opioids Flashcards
synthetic opioids
Moriphan- agonist/antagonist types (levorphenol, butorphenol)
Diphenyls- methadone
benzomorphans- (for vasodilation) - phenazocine, pentazocine
phenylpiperidines!!!!
- miperidine, fent, alfent, sufent, remifent
natural/ semisynthetics
- morphine is natural
- heorin, hydromorphone, codeine semisynth.
opioid 4 classifications
- agonist
- partial agaonist
- mixed agonist/ antagonist
mu 1
SUPRASPINAL, spinal analgesia euphoria low abuse potential miosis bradycardia hypothermia urinary retention
mu 2
crappy side effects.
spinal analgesia
depression of ventilation
physical dependence
marked constipation
kappa
supraspinal, spinal analgesia dysphoria sedation low abuse potential miosis DIURESIS
***only dynorphins are agonists
delta
supraspina, spinal analgesia depression of ventilation physical dependence minimal consitpation urinary retention
***only enkephalins work here
opioids MOA
GPCR
pre and post synaptic
1- increase K conductance
2- inactivate Ca++ Ch
- decreases NT release
activation of receptors
1- directly decrease neurotransmission
2- inhibits release of excitatory neurotransmitters (substance P)
supraspinal analgesia
receptor activation in periaqueductal/ periventricular gray matter in brain
Spinal analgesia
receptor activation in cord and dorsal root ganglion, substantia gelatinosa (inhibit substance P)
opioid effects on skeletal muscle
rigidity.
- constrition of laryngeal/pharyngeal muscles
- decreased chest wall compliance (diff or impossible to bag)
inhibition of GABA, increase in Dopa.
lipid solubility and neuraxial effects
- penetration into CSF depends on LS
- highly LS will be limited in cephalad migration by uptake into the spinal cord (fentanyl)
- less LS will remain in CSF for transfer to cephalic region (morphine)
- more LS = faster vascular absorption from epidural space…. quicjer peak concentrations of opioid in the blood.
side effects of neuraxial opioids
pruritis is most common
n/v
ventilatory depression (rapid with lipophilic, delayed with less lipophilic 6-12 hrs—cant go home.)
morphine produces….
analgesia, euphoria, sedation, nausea, pruritis, dry mouth, HISTAMINE, ventilatory depression
bradycardia, SA node inhibition
