• Narcotics – Those drugs which possess both an analgesic
(pain relieving) and sedative properties. (Not Correct term)
• Opioid – refer to drugs in a generic sense, natural or
synthetic, with morphine- like actions
![Page 3: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Chemistry
• Morphine – pentacyclic alkaloid (five ring structure) – phenolic groups (s/a hydroxyl, alcoholic, OH)
at position 3 and 6 – modifications at those positions changes
pharmacokinetics and potency of drug – nitrogen at 16 position (n16) – changing it by adding an alkyl group converts
it to naloxone (i.e. go from a agonist to an antagonist)

Morphine related opioids
![Page 7: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Mepridine related opioids
![Page 8: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
OPIOID receptors
• CNS distribution is not uniform– they are at areas concerned with pain– receptor locations beginning with highest
concentration areas
1. cerebral cortex2. amygdala3. septum4. thalamus5. hypothalamus6. midbrain7. spinal cord
![Page 9: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Receptor Stimulation
• mu– Physical dependence – Euphoria – Analgesia (supraspinal) – Respiratory depression
![Page 10: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• delta – analgesia (spinal & supraspinal) – release of growth hormone
• sigma– dysphoria (opposite of euphoria) – hallucination (both visual & auditory)– respiratory and vasomotor stimulation – mydriasis
• kappa– Sedation – Analgesia (spinal) – Miosis
![Page 11: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Opioids’ mechanism of action
![Page 12: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
![Page 13: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Endogenous Opioid Peptides
• Three distinct families of peptides have been identified: – enkephalins– endorphins– dynorphins
• the precursors are now designated as:– proenkephalin (also proenkephalin A)– proopiomelanocortin (POMC)– prodynorphin (also proenkephalin B)
![Page 15: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Pharmacokinetics of morphine
• absorption– readily absorbed from GI tract, nasal mucosa, lung
subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous route
• distribution – Bound & free morphine accumulates in kidney, lung,
liver, and spleen – CNS is primary site of action (analgesia/sedation)
![Page 16: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• metabolism/excretion– metabolic transformation in liver – conjugation with glucuronic acid – excreted by kidney – half life is 2.5 to 3 hours (does not persist in body
tissue) – morphine -3 -glucuronide in main excretion product – lose 90% in first day – duration of 10 mg dose is 3 to 5 hours
Pharmacokinetics of morphine
![Page 17: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pharmacokinetics of morphine
![Page 18: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Morphine administration – oral morphine not given due to erratic oral
availability – significant variable first pass effect from
person to person and have intraspecies effect (same dose will vary in person day to day)
– IV morphine acts promptly and its main effect is at the CNS
Pharmacokinetics of morphine
![Page 19: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Pharmacodynamics of Morphine
• CNS is primary site of action of morphine– analgesia – sedation – euphoria – mood change – mental cloudiness
![Page 20: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Pharmacodynamics of Morphine
Morphine analgesia**Changes our reaction and our perception of pain • severe cancer pain is tolerated more when person is
given morphine • relieves all types of pain, but most effective against
continuous dull aching pain • sharp, stabbing, shooting pain also relieved by morphine
![Page 21: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Pharmacodynamics of Morphine
• Morphine sedation - morphine causes sedation effect, but no loss of consciousness
• Morphine euphoria
• sense of well being
• reason why morphine is abused
![Page 22: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Effects of morphine on respiration
Effects of morphine on respiration
There is a primary and continuous depression of respiration related to dose – decrease rate – decrease volume – decrease tidal exchange
![Page 23: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• mu receptor activation produces respiratory depression; with increase in dose can cause further respiratory depression
• CNS becomes less responsive to pCO2 thereby causing a build up of CO2 – rhythm and responsiveness causes irregular
breathing patterns; one will see periods of apnea
Pharmacodynamics of Morphine
![Page 24: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• nausea and vomiting – Stimulation of CTZ, in brain stem
• stimulation by stretch receptors causes nausea and vomiting
• has afferents from gut and ear
• involved in motion sickness
Pharmacodynamics of Morphine
![Page 25: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Pharmacodynamics of Morphine
• pupil size– morphine causes miosis (pinpoint pupils) – kappa receptor effect – pinpoint pupils still responsive to bright light – oculomotor nerve (CN3) is stimulated by
kappa receptor site – if kappa receptor is blocked, mydriasis from
sigma effect will result– atropine partially blocks effect indicating
parasympathetic system involved
![Page 26: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Pharmacodynamics of Morphine
• Acute overdose– High doses (overdose situation) of
morphine – excitatory and spinal reflexes
• high doses of many OPIOIDs cause convulsions
– due to stimulation at sigma receptor
![Page 27: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Pharmacodynamics of Morphine
• Cardiovascular effects– Cardiovascular effects of morphine lead to
vasodilation, thus a decrease in blood pressure
– morphine causes the release of histamine and
– suppression of central adrenergic tone and– suppression of reflex vasoconstriction
![Page 28: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Pharmacodynamics of Morphine
– Morphine effects on the gastrointestinal system increase in tone and decrease in mobility leads to constipation
– decreased concentration of HCl secretion – increased tone in stomach, small intestine, and large intestine
– delay of passage of food (gastric contents) so more reabsorption of water
– **tolerance does not develop (i.e. same amount of effect each time) to this constipation effect
![Page 29: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Pharmacodynamics of Morphine
• Morphine effects on various smooth muscles – biliary tract
• marked increase in the pressure in the biliary tract • 10 fold increase over normal (normal is 20 mm H20 pressure) • increase due to contraction of Sphincter of Oddi
– urinary bladder • tone of detrusor muscle increased • feel urinary urgency • have urinary retention due to increased muscle tone where sphincter closed
off – bronchial muscle
• bronchoconstriction can result • **contraindicated in asthmatics, particularly before surgery
– uterus • relaxation of uterus can prolong labor
![Page 30: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Pharmacodynamics of Morphine
• Neuroendocrine Effects: inhibit the release of: – gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) – corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), – luteinizing hormone (LH)– follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)– ACTH, and - endorphin;– testosterone – cortisol.– Secretion of thyrotropin is relatively unaffected.
![Page 31: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Tolerance to morphine
• nausea • analgesia • sedation • respiratory depression • cardiovascular • euphoric• not to:
– miosis – Constipation– Convulsive effect
![Page 32: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Toxicity of morphine
Acute overdoserespiratory depression pinpoint pupils (miosis) coma
Treatment1. establish adequate ventilation
2. give OPIOID antagonist (naloxone)
![Page 33: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Toxicity of morphine
Naloxone
• it has no agonist activity
• it displaces morphine from all receptors, reverses all of the effects of morphine
• its effects are immediate (3-5 min)
• duration is 30-45 minutes must be reinjected often
![Page 34: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Therapeutic uses of morphine
• relief of pain • terminal illness • preoperative medications • postoperative medications • acute pulmonary edema • constipating effect • cough • obstetrical analgesia ?
![Page 35: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Drug interactions with Opioids
**in general, the coadministration of CNS depressants with OPIOID often produces at least an additive depression (potentiation)
![Page 36: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
OPIOID and phenothiazines • produces an additive CNS depression as well as enhancement of
the actions of OPIOID (respiratory depression) • this combination may also produce a greater incidence of orthostatic
hypotension OPIOID and tricyclics antidepressants • can produce increased hypotension • meperidine and MOA inhibitors
– results in severe and immediate reactions that include excitation, rigidity, hypertension, and severe respiratory depression
OPIOID and barbiturates • increased clearance
morphine and amphetamine • enhanced analgesic effect
Drug interactions with Opioids
![Page 37: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• change in the methyl group on 3 position of morphine (substituted
for the hydroxyl group) • one tenth the potency (analgesic properties) of morphine • absorbed readily from GI tract • the absorption is more regular than morphine and more predictable • given orally • metabolized like morphine through glucuronic acid • physical dependence is necessity of drug so you don't go through
withdrawal • tolerance and physical dependence is protracted from morphine
since potency of codeine is low • withdrawal from codeine is mild in relation to morphine • antitussive drug for cough
Codeine
![Page 38: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• at 3 and 6 hydroxy positions, there are acetyl groups instead of hydroxyl groups
• it is anywhere from 3 to 4 times the analgesic potency of morphine
• heroin is the most lipophilic of all the OPIOIDs • morphine is the least lipophilic of all the OPIOID • OPIOID withdrawal is NOT fatal
Heroin (diacetylmorphine)
![Page 39: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• When heroin is ingested, it crosses the blood brain barrier rapidly (morphine crosses slow) where it is hydrolyzed to monoacetyl morphine (acetyl group got cleaved off) and then it is hydrolyzed to morphine making more of the drug in the brain making it 3 to 4 times more potent
• withdrawal symptoms of heroin similar to morphine, but more intense (rebound effect)– mydriasis – diarrhea – vasoconstriction – dysphoria – etc.
Heroin (diacetylmorphine)
![Page 40: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Hydromorphone• have ketone at 6 hydroxyl position of morphine • also strong agonist • 9 times more potent than morphine • more sedation than morphine so less euphoric feeling so
not abused much • less constipation • does not produce miosis • tolerance and physical dependence is more intense than
morphine because of its high potency • respiratory depression same as morphine
Hydromorphone
![Page 41: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• synthetic drug • different structure than morphine • 80 to 100 times more potent than morphine • rapidly acting drug • used as preoperative medication • short acting (30-45 min) • onset of action is 5 minutes • very high potency • highly abused
Fentanyl
![Page 42: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• produced in 1940's – wanted drug with less addictive liability than morphine, but it has same
addictive liability as morphine • same CNS actions as morphine • sedation, analgesia, respiratory depression • potency same as morphine • unlike morphine:• more respiratory depression • more bronchoconstriction activity • less constipation • no antitussive activity • **it causes mydriasis (not miosis) • toxic effects similar to atropine • drug absorbed orally • drug most abused by health care professionals due to its availability • withdrawal similar to morphine• Less sedative ( preferred to morphine in obstetrics)
Meperidine
![Page 43: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• pharmacological activity similar to morphine, same potency as morphine
• long duration of activity • absorbed well orally• 16 to 20 hour duration of action• powerful pain reliever • used in maintenance program for narcotic
treatment
Methadone
![Page 44: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• can be OTC drug now • **therapeutic use is antidiarrhea drug • meperidine type drug • has very little analgesic properties at therapeutic dose • no antitussive effect • at high doses it has analgesic effects • causes respiratory depression and euphoria at high
doses
Diphenoxylate (Lomotil)
![Page 45: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Tramadol
• Tramadol (ULTRAM) is a synthetic codeine analog that is – a weak m-opioid receptor agonist. – Part of its analgesic effect is produced by inhibition of
uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin. – In the treatment of mild-to-moderate pain, tramadol is
as effective as morphine or meperidine. – However, for the treatment of severe or chronic pain,
tramadol is less effective. – Tramadol is as effective as meperidine in the
treatment of labor pain and may cause less neonatal respiratory depression.
![Page 46: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Tramadol
• Tramadol is 68% bioavailable after a single oral dose and 100% available when administered intramuscularly.
• Tramadol is supplied as a racemic mixture, which is more effective than either enantiomer alone.
• The (+)-enantiomer binds to the m receptor and inhibits serotonin uptake.
• The (-)-enantiomer inhibits norepinephrine uptake and stimulates a2 adrenergic receptors.
• Analgesia begins within an hour of oral dosing and peaks within 2 to 3 hours. The duration of analgesia is about 6 hours. The maximum recommended daily dose is 400 mg.
![Page 47: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Tramadol• Common side effects of tramadol include:
– nausea, vomiting, dizziness, dry mouth, sedation, and headache. • Respiratory depression appears to be less than with equianalgesic
doses of morphine, and the degree of constipation is less than that seen after equivalent doses of codeine
• Tramadol can cause seizures• However, the use of naloxone increases the risk of seizure.• Physical dependence on and abuse of tramadol have been
reported. • Because of its inhibitory effect on serotonin uptake, tramadol
should not be used in patients taking monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors
![Page 48: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Antagonism of Morphine
• three drugs: naloxone, nalmefene and naltrexone (pure antagonist)
![Page 49: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Naloxone
• no analgesic activity at all • competitive antagonist at mu, kappa, and sigma receptor • displaces morphine and other OPIOID from receptor site • reverses all actions of the OPIOID and does it rather quickly • it will precipitate withdrawal • person on heroin, then naloxone will precipitate withdrawal,
but naloxone effects are seen in the first five minutes and it only lasts for 30 minutes:
• increased blood pressure • metabolized same as morphine through glucuronic acid and
excreted through kidney
![Page 50: Opioids analgesics and antagonists By S.Bohlooli PhD](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf05503460f949bec92/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Naltrexone
• same effect of naloxone except it is used orally
so can't use it if for person with acute toxicity • long duration of activity • single dose block action of heroin effects for 24
hours • once stabilized, give patient naltrexone • patient get no euphoric effect from heroin so
person gets off heroin (negative reinforcement) • approved for use by the FDA • also used for treatment of alcoholism
