OPIOID ANALGESICS AND ANTAGONISTS
Department of Pharmacology
Medical School Padjadjaran University
OPIOIDS are natural or synthetic compounds produce morphine – like effects
Opiates are drugs obtained from the juice of opium poppy
Action : Binding to specific receptors in the CNS effect that mimic the action of endogenous pepetide neurotransmitters (= opiopeptines) e.g. enkephalins and endorphin
Many other effects
Primary use Relief intense pain and its anxiety
Euphoric properties DRUG ABUSE
OPIOID RESEPTORS
1. On the membranes of certain cells in the CNS
2. On nerve terminals in the periphery
3. On the cells of the GIT
The terms of the receptors :
Mu, kappa, delta and sigma each exhibits a different specificity
Mu and kappa analgesics properties
Enkephalins more selectively interact with delta receptors in the periphery
Sigma receptors less specific can also bind non opioid agents (hallucinogen) Sigma is responsible for the associated effects with opioids e.i hallucination and dysphoria
Naloxone is an antagonist to mu, kappa, delata but not to sigma
All opioid receptors :
1. Coupled to inhibitory G protein
2. Inhibit adenyl cyclase
3. Associated with ion channels to
increase K+ efflux hyperpolarization
or reduce Ca++ influx impeding
neuronal firing and transmitter
release
Opioid agonists and antagonists are :
1. STRONG AGONISTS : morphine, meperidine, methadone, fentanyl-sufentanil,heroin
2. MODERATE AGONISTS : propoxyphen, codeine
3. MIXED AGONISTS-ANTAGONISTS : pentazocine, buprenorphine
4. ANTAGONISTS : naloxone, naltrexone
Actions of agonists and antagonists at opioid receptors
Mor, Her, Cod, Fent Pentazocine
Mainly at mu recept. Agonist at kappa
Partial antagonist at mu
+ - + +
Mu Kappa Sigma
Antagonists act at mu, kappa, sigma receptors
Action of drugs :
At Mu receptors : 1. Suprapinal analgesia
2. Respiratory depression
3. Euphoria / sedation
4. Physical dependence
5. Decreased GIT motility
6. Pupil constriction
Kappa receptors :
1. Spinal analgesia
2. Sedation/dysphoria
3. Pupil constriction
Sigma receptors :
1. Dysphoria
2. Hallucination
3. Psychomimetic effects
4. Pupil dilatation
Distribution of opioid receptors :
1. Brainstem : Resp., cough, nausea, vomit, BP, pupil, stomach secretions
2. Medial thalamus : deep pain that is poorly localized and emotionnaly influenced
3. Spinal cord on substantia gelatinosa : sensory information, painful afferent stimuli decrease
4. Hypothalamus : affect neuroendocrine secretion
Distribution of opioid receptors (cont.)
5. Limbic system :concentrate in amygdala,
influence emotional behaviour
6. Periphery : inhibit Ca++ dependent release of
excitatory pro inflammatory substance (e.g
Substance P) from these nerve endings
7. Immuno cells : the role has not been determined
Morphine
Crude opium contains major analgesic morphine and lower concentration of codein
Both have high affinity to Mu, varying to Kappa and Delta and low to Sigma receptors
The prototype agonist
Mechanism of action :
Interacting with opioid receptors in CNS and GIT :
Hyper polarization of nerve cells
Inhibition of nerve firing
Presynaptic inhibition of Transmitter release
Acts at Mu receptor in substantia gelatinosa
Spinal Cord
Decrease substance P in SC
Mechanism of action (cont.)
Inhibits the release of any excitatory trnsmitters from nerve terminals carrying nociceptive (painful) stimuli
ACTION of morphine
1. Analgesia result of raising threshold at SC level and altering the brain’s perception of pain (aware the presence of pain but the sensation is not unpleasant
2. Respiration : reduction of sensitivity of neurons in Resp. center to CO2 respiratory depression (with ordinary dose). Higher dose cause respiratory cease, if dose more higher (OD) death.
3. Depression of cough reflex. Morphine and codeine are antitussive. The receptor is defferent than those involved in analgesia.
4. Miosis result from stimuli of Mu and Kappa receptors. Morphine excites the Edinger-Westfal of acculomotor nerve enhanced stimuli of parasympathic nerve to the eyes.
All addicts pinpoint pupil specific
Emesis caused by stimulating the CTZ ; this symptom is not unpleasant
GIT : mophine relief diarrhea and dysentery
smoot muscle : motility , tone
Billiary tract Pressure
Anal sphincter tone constipation
Cardiovascular, very high dose gives effects hypotension, bradycardia
Respiratory depression + CO2 retention cerebral vessels dilates pressure of CSF
Morphine is contraindicated in severe brain injury
Histamine release : urticaria, sweating, vasodilatation, bronchodilatation (Asthmatics is CI)
Hormonal actions :
Inhibits releas of GTHR, CTRH
Decreases the concentration of LH, FSH,
ACTH, FSH, beta endorphine
Decreases Testosteron and Cortison
Increases Prolactin and GH
Increase ADH urinary retention
THERAPEUTIC USES
As an analgesia. When pain is present and needed sleep, morphine is supplements to benzodiazepin to induce sleeping.
Antidiarrhea
