Question
Answer
What is a competitive antagonist?   a drug that reversibly binds to receptor at the same site as the agonist but does NOT activate the receptor  
🗑
What is a non-competitive antagonist?   a drug that irreversibly binds to receptor at a separate site from the agonist and disable that receptor  
🗑
What is a partial agonist?   a drug that has a high affinity for the receptor but not as much intrinsic activity  
🗑
What is a superagonist?   a drug that has greater effects at the receptor than the defining receptor agonist; example = fentanyl 100x more potent at mu receptor than morphine  
🗑
What is an agonist-antagonist?   a drug with a mixed composition of agonist and antagonist effects; may be partial or full agonism  
🗑
Opioids that have antagonist effects on which 2 receptor types are useful in pain management?   mu and kappa  
🗑
Do opioid agonist-antagonist drugs have an effect on intrabiliary pressure?   No  
🗑
True or false: subsequent doses of agonist after opioid agonist-antoagonist administration may NOT provide adequate analgesia   True  
🗑
What can antagonism of Mu opioid receptors lead to?   withdrawal  
🗑
The undesirable psychotomimetic effects caused by opioid agonist-antagonist drugs are suggested to be associated with which opioid receptor?   kappa  
🗑
What are the psychotomimetic effects caused by opioid agonist-antagonist drugs?   dysphoria, confusion (especially in elderly), depression, NO euphoria  
🗑
Which receptors does Pentazocine (Talwin) antagonize and agonize?   a weak antagonist of mu receptors and a partial kappa agonist  
🗑
Does Pentazocine (Talwin) antagonize respiratory depression?   no  
🗑
What are 2 indication for the use of Pentazocine (Talwin)?   relief of moderate pain; chronic pain with increased risk of physical dependence  
🗑
What are 3 effects of Pentazocine (Talwin)?   analgesia, sedation, mild respiratory depression  
🗑
What are the CV side effects of Pentazocine (Talwin)?   increased HR & cardiac workload; increased SBP and PAP; increased myocardial O2 consumption  
🗑
What are the non CV side effects of Pentazocine (Talwin)?   sedation, dysphoria, diaphoresis, dizziness, dissociation, hallucinations, fetal depression  
🗑
True or false: Butorphanol (Stadol) causes analgesia more potent than morphine   True  
🗑
What are three indications for Butorphanol (Stadol)?   post-op pain, migraine headaches, post-op shivering  
🗑
What are the effects of Butorphanol (Stadol)?   analgesia and respiratory depression  
🗑
What are the side effects of Butorphanol (Stadol)?   sedation, nausea, diaphoresis, respiratory depression, dissociation, increased CO and workload, increased SBP and PAP  
🗑
Nalbuphine (Nubain) has a potency comparable to __________   morphine  
🗑
Which receptors does Nalbuphine (Nubain) antagonize? Agonize?   Mu receptor antagonist; kappa receptor agonist  
🗑
Which agonist-antagonist drug is useful in antagonizing pruritus induced by epidural morphine?   Nalbuphine (Nubain)  
🗑
Which agonist-antagonist drugs are useful in reversing lingering fentanyl-induced respiratory dress ion while providing analgesia?   Nalbuphine (Nubain); Buprenorphine (Buprenex)  
🗑
Does Nalbuphine (Nubain) have any CV side effects?   No  
🗑
What are 2 indications for Buprenorphine (Buprenex)?   moderate ro severe cancer pain; opioid dependence  
🗑
Buprenorphine (Buprenex) has mu receptor affinity 50x greater than _______   morphine  
🗑
Which agonist-antagonist drug is resistant to antagonism by narcan?   Buprenorphine (Buprenex)  
🗑
Which agonist-antagonist drug has a prolonged duration of up to 8 hours?   Buprenorphine (Burprenex)  
🗑
Which receptors does Buprenorphine (Buprenex) agonize? Antagonize?   partial mu receptor agonist; antagonizes mu receptors as well  
🗑
