History • Opium was first mentioned in Eber’s papyrus (1500
BC) and in the writing of Theophrastus (300 BC) • It was used throughout the middle ages in Europe
as the preparation, named ‘laudanum’.• Tincture !!
• Crude opium is a dark brown and resinous material which is obtained from poppy (papaver somniferum) capsule.
• Opos – juice of poppy

In 1806, Sertürner reported the isolation of a pure substance in opium that he named morphine after Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams. It contains two types of alkaloids: (i) alkaloid of phenanthrene derivatives–morphine (10%), codeine (5%), thebaine (0.2%), (ii) alkaloid of benzoisoquinoline derivatives – papaverine (1%), noscapine (6%).

Some terms- opioid , opiate , narcotic
• Opioid • opioid is defined as a natural, semisynthetic or
synthetic compound that acts at opioid receptors. • May be antagonist!• Opiate • is a specific term to describe drugs derived from the
opium poppy (Papaver somniferum).• Narcotic Greek word for stupor. • At one time the term ‘narcotic’ was referred to any
drug that induced sleep and then it became associated with opioids. But now it is often used in legal context
![Page 8: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Receptors
• Four broad classes of opioid receptors are currently accepted.
• Mu (MOP) – morphine • Kappa (KOP) - ketocyclazocine• Delta (DOP) – vas deferens • Nociceptin receptor (NOP)
![Page 9: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
MOP DOP KOP NOP
analgesia, sedation, respiratory depression, bradycardia, nausea vomiting reduction in gastric motility
spinal and supraspinal analgesia and reduce gastric motility
spinal analgesia, diuresis and dysphoria.
Analgesia Hyperalgesia Allodynia
![Page 10: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Where are mu receptors
• cerebral cortex • basal ganglia • presynaptic primary afferent neurones in dorsal
horn • periaquaductal grey
• µ2 receptor has lower affinity for morphine. It mediates spinal analgesia, respiratory depression and constipation
![Page 11: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DOP
• Found in midbrain • nucleus raphe magnus
• part of descending inhibitory control pathway Limited clinical use as produces side effects at doses lower than those required for analgesia
• Side effects include diuresis, sedation, dizziness, confusion and dysphoria
![Page 12: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
KOP
• Nucleus raphe magnus (midbrain), hypothalamus, spinal cord
• Analgesia • Dysphoria • Sedation • Dependence • Miosis
![Page 13: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
NOP
• . Spinally, has been shown to produce analgesia and
hyperalgesia, dependent upon the administered
concentration, and allodynia.
• Supraspinally, when administered intra
cerebrovascularly it is thought to produce a pro-
nociceptive anti-analgesic effect, owing to an inhibition
of endogenous opioid tone
![Page 14: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• A μ3 receptor is found in vascular tissue and in leukocytes, and it may have roles in vascular control and immunomodulation
• The κ1 receptor mediates spinal analgesia, whereas activation of the κ3 receptor results in supraspinal analgesia, sedation, and ventilatory depression
• The majority of opioid receptors in myocardium appear to be δ, and this receptor may play a role in the phenomenon of ischemic preconditioning
![Page 17: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In short what ?
• Mu 1 and 2 • Delta • Kappa • Nociceptin
![Page 18: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Mechanism of action ??
• Inhibition of calcium entry into the cell
• closes voltage sensitive calcium channels Potassium
efflux resulting in hyperpolarisation
• Inhibition of adenylyl cyclase reduces cAMP levels
• Overall result is reduced neuronal cell excitability with
a reduction in nerve impulse transmission and
inhibition of neurotransmitter release

Pharmacodynamics
![Page 30: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Analgesia
• Relief of almost any pain • Acute burning severe pain – more effective • Neuropathic pain less • First pain ? √ Second pain !! • Blunt reflexes • Perception of pain- it acts • Descending pathways and spinal cord • Don’t put to sleep always and don’t numb • Euphoria - yes
![Page 31: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Does it affect touch ??
No
![Page 32: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
CNS effects – euphoria
• Dysphoria and agitation rare with analgesic doses
• Hypnosis and sedation will occur with high doses
• No amnesia • Elevate ICP with PaCO2 only • Seizures with norpethidine
![Page 33: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Ventilation • Opioids produce a dose-related depression of
the ventilatory response to CO2 by a direct effect on ventilatory centers in the medulla.
• Morphine also blunts the response to hypoxia• Sleep will increase blunting • Difficult to reverse without reversing analgesia• Extremes of age , other potent depressants-
danger
![Page 34: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Respiratory system
![Page 35: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Skeletal muscle rigidity • Generalized hypertonus of skeletal muscle can be
produced by large IV doses of most opioid agonists.
• Common with fentanyl, alfentanil, sufentanil, severe
form, “lead pipe” muscle rigidity
• very little loss of compliance when opioids are given
to patients with tracheotomies, suggesting that the
primary etiology is supraglottic obstruction from
constriction of laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles.
![Page 36: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Antitussive
• Suppression of cough centres in medulla
• Codeine • Dextromethorphan ( dextro isomers - better
antitussive ) • Heroin • Antitussive activity – in fibreoptic intubation - • Less analgesia with codeine – different mechanism
![Page 37: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Miosis
• Opioids stimulate the Edinger-Westphal nucleus of the oculomotor nerve to produce miosis
• Hypoxia – mydriasis – beware • Small doses – maximal effect • Qualitative but not quantitative
![Page 38: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
CVS effects
• Bradycardia and peripheral vasodilatation are seen at higher doses and when opioids are combined with other anesthetic drugs.
• No myocardial depression, no autonomic activity – • Ideal for cardiac anesthesia • Fentanyl – brady , pethidine and pentazocine –
tachycardia and hypertension
• Reduces the size of infarct
![Page 39: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Histamine release • Some opioids, particularly morphine and meperidine, produce a
nonimmunologic release of histamine from circulating basophils
and tissue mast cells.
• most often seen as local itching, redness, or urticaria near the
site of intravenous injection,
• often mistake for true allergy.
• Anti H1 and anti H2 drugs as prevention
• Perioral itch by fentanyl – no histamine – naloxone ok but
antihistaminics ?
![Page 40: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Naloxone may increase vomiting
![Page 41: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
GI and smooth muscle
• Opioids decrease the passage of fluids and solids at
every level of the GI tract—so-called opioid bowel
dysfunction (OBD). They delay gastric emptying and
increase antral tone.
• Opioids cause contraction of smooth muscle in the gall
bladder and spasm of the sphincter of Oddi. biliary
colic -? Intra op cholangiogram - ?
![Page 42: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Opioid receptors are found throughout the enteric
plexus of the bowel;
• their activation or stimulation causes tonic
contraction of gastrointestinal smooth muscle,
thereby decreasing coordinated, peristaltic
contractions.
![Page 43: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Smooth Muscle Effects
• increase the contractions of the ureter although they
relieve the pain caused by ureteral stones.
• They also decrease detrusor contraction in response
to bladder distension (the voiding reflex) and
increase the tone of the urinary sphincter by both
central and peripheral mechanisms.
![Page 44: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Pregnancy and fetus
• Opioids have no specific teratogenic effects, but chronic opioid use by the mother can lead to physical dependence by the fetus.
• Neonatal withdrawal may occur shortly after delivery and in some instances may be life-threatening.
![Page 45: Opioids mgmc-1](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5873bd8a1a28abbc788b5c5f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• When tolerance to an opioid occurs, there is simultaneous development of cross-tolerance to all other opioid agonists.
• In general, tolerance develops to depressant effects (analgesia, ventilatory depression, euphoria),
• less tolerance to some of the stimulant effects, like constipation or pupillary constriction.

• Hormonal effects = ? Use in the perioperative scenario
• OPIOIDS MODULATE ANGIOGENESIS• OPIOIDS ARE IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE• Cardiac protective • Neuro protective • Meperidine and shivering why ??
