Opioid Pharmacology
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Amino-Terminal End of Opioid Peptides | Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-(Met or Leu) |
Classes of Endogenous Opioid Peptides | endorphins enkephalins dynorphins nociceptin & orphanin (N/OFQ) |
Anatomical Distribution of Endorphins | arcuate nucleus nucleus tractus solitarius pituitary pancreatic islet cells |
Anatomical Distribution of Enkephalins & Dynorphins | distributed widely throughout CNS |
Functions of Enkephalins & Dynorphins | pain perception behaviour modulation autonomic nervous system regulation motor control neuroendocrine function |
Anatomical Distribution of Nociceptin & Orphanin | hippocampus cerebral cortex sensory sites |
Functions of Nociceptin & Orphanin | complex behavioural profile pain sensitivity |
Telencephalon | amygdaloid body hippocampus cingulum and cingulum gyrus septal region medial forebrain bundle - hypothalamus |
Diencephalon | thalamus hypothalamus |
Mesencephalon | intercrural nucleus reticular formation |
Opioid Receptor / Opioid Dose Concept | compounds that are relatively selective in their binding avidity for u, o, or k receptors at "standard" doses eventually "spill-over" and also bind to other opioid receptors at higher concentration |
Location of Opioid u Receptors | periaqueductal gray matter (pain) pontine reticular formation median raphe nucleus raphe magnus spinal cord ' |
Location of Opioid k and o Receptors | periaqueductal gray matter (pain) pontine reticular formation median raphe (k) nucleus raphe magnus (k) gigantocellular reticular nucleus spinal cord (dorsal horn) |
Location of Opioid N/OFQ Receptors | para-aqueduct gray matter median raphe rostral ventral-medial medulla spinal cord (superficial dorsal horn) |
Opioid u Receptor Antagonists | CTOP naloxone nalorphine |
Opioid o Receptor Antagonist | natrindole |
Opioid k Receptor Antagonist | nor BNI |
Opioid u&k Receptor Antagonists | diprenorphine naltrexone |
Opioid Receptor Activation MOA | inhibit adenyl cyclase (stops ATP --> cAMP) suppresses voltage-gated Ca2+ currents activates receptor-operated K+ ion channels |
Opioid Pathophysical Effects | directly inhibit ascending transmission of nociceptive impulses from spinal cord dorsal horn reduce perceived pain, but also improve the ability to emotionally tolerate pain activate |
Definition of Nociceptive Pain | stimulation of nociceptive neuroreceptors and impulses transmitted over intact neural pathways |
Definition of Neuropathic Pain | damage or injury to neural structures often involving neural supersensitivity |
Opioid Side Effects | nausea vomiting drowsiness decreased mentation lower physical activity |
Effect of Chronic Opioid Administration | u and o receptor internalization (desensitization & tolerance) |
Butorphanol Tartrate (Morphinan Congener) | used for management of visceral pain frequently in combo with xylazine/detomidine |
Clinical Applications of Opioids | analgesia for severe pain cough suppression slow GI motility anesthetic/pre-anesthetic agent |
Naloxone Effects | antagonizes u-opioid receptors and GABA blocks beta-endorphin release elevates arterial blood pressure antagonizes oxymorphone-induced respiratory depression and analgesia reverses fentanyl effects therapeutic management of horse vices vascular shoc |
Opioid Routes of Administration | parenteral intraspinal (epidural/intrathecal) oral inhalation o |
Centrally Acting Opioid Antitussive Agents | codeine dextromethorphan levopropoxyphene - l-isomer of dextro nocapine |
Centrally Acting Non-Opioid Antitussive Agents | caramiphen carbetapentane diphenylhydramine pholcodine benzonatate |
Basic MOA of Opioids | influences the Limbic System, which influences involuntary responses |
Three Basic Types of Opioid-Acting Substances | synthetic opioids opiates endogenous peptides (endorphins, enkephalins, dyorphins, endomorphins) |
What Kind of Pain is Managed More Effectively with Opioids? | continuous dull pain |
Precursor Polypeptide of Endorphins | pre-pro-opiomelanocortin |
Precursor Polypeptide of Enkephalins | pre-pro-enkephalin |
Precursor Polypeptide of Dyorphins | pre-pro-dynorphin |
Clinical Significance of Morphine Metabolites | have a biological effect indistinguishable from morphine, but are twice as potent |
Class of Analgesic Drug Used in Conjunction with Opioids to Reduce Necessary Dose of Opioid | barbiturates |
