28
Q

group 1 what differs from morphine in efficacy

A

-morphine-10
-meperidine-60
hydromorphine-1.5
-oxymorphone-1.5
-levorphanol- 2-3

29
Q

morphine has high first pass metabolism (low oral bioavailability)–what group has good oral bioavailbaility?

A
  • methadone

- levorphanol

30
Q

morphine metabolism–active metabolites

A
  • via UGT 1A1 and 2B7
  • M3 glucuronide
  • M6 glucuronide
  • hydromorphone (via dehydrogenase)
31
Q

morphine metabolism–inactive metabolites

A
  • via CYP 3A4

- normorpine

32
Q

methadone

A
  • full mu agonist
  • longer t/12 (27 hours vs 2 for morphine)
  • better bioavailability (90% vs 20% for morphine)
33
Q

methadone useful for?

A
  • withdrawl/maintenance

- detoxification

34
Q

methadone side effect??

A
  • QT interval prolongation (in acute overdose or long term treatment)
  • unrelated to its interaction with mu Rs (blocks flow of K ions)
35
Q

Meperidine–distinctions as mu agonist?

A
  • pupil dilation (those who abuse this drug can escape detection)
  • Normeperdine–toxic metabolites–accum and causes seizures
36
Q

Group 2 short acting full agonists potency?

A
  • fentanyl
  • sufentanil
  • remifentanil–very short acting
  • 100% more potent than morphine
37
Q

remifentanil used for?

A
  • analgesia for childbirth
  • metabolized by plasma and tissue esterases–rapid metabolism in fetus lowers risk for neonatal depression
  • rapid onset
38
Q

Fentanyl–characteristics

A
  • rapid onset and distribution
  • short duration of action
  • tranmucosal (lollipop)
  • transdermal patch delivery (slows onset, prolongs delivery)–caution-resp depression–abuse potential via heating patches
39
Q

group 3 codeine and its relatives–characteristics

A
  • partial agonists
  • less potential for drug dependence and respiratory depression
  • bioavailability–50% (vs 20% for morphine)
  • moderate pain
  • anti-tussive (mu-independent)
40
Q

safer antitussive agent?

A
  • dextromethophan–independent of opioid Rs

- not analgesic; not addictive

41
Q

which does codeine cause death sometimes?

A
  • active metabolite via CP2D6–morphine
  • inactive–morcodiene
  • some people are ultrafast metabolizers
