Cards

Term
Codeine: Class, Potency, Metabolism
Definition

Phenanthrene

 

Low potency

Great for antitussive

 

Must be converted to morphine by CYP 2D6

 

One of the most constipating opioids

Term
Hydrocodone: Class, Metabolism
Definition

Phenanthrene

 

Parent and metabolite active

 

Hydrocodone to hydromorphone by CYP 2D6

 

Little effect of metabolite on analgesia

Term
Hydromorphone: Class, Metabolism
Definition

Phenanthrene

 

Glucuronidated to similar metabolites as morphine (H3G and H6G)

 

Term
Levorphanol: Class, Activity
Definition

Phenanthrene

 

Opioid + NMDA activity

Term
Oxycodone: Class, Metabolism
Definition

Phenanthrene

 

Active parent drug

Metabolized to oxymorphone via CYP 2D6

 

Term
Oxymorphone: Class, Metabolism
Definition

Phenanthrene

 

Active metabolite of oxycodone

Undergoes glucuronidation and reduction

Term
Buprenorphine: Class
Definition
Phenanthrene
Term
Nalbuphine: Class, Metabolism, Activity
Definition

Phenanthrene

 

Metabolized to inactive metabolites hepatically

 

Stimulates kappa

Antagonizes Mu receptors

Term
Butorphanol: Class, Metabolism, Receptor Activity
Definition

Phenanthrene

 

Metabolized primarily to hydroxybutorphanol (inactive) hepatically

 

Kappa agonist

Sigma agonist

Mu antagonist

Term
Naloxone: Class, Receptor Activity, Uses
Definition

Phenanthrene

 

Pure opioid antagonist

 

Used for opioid overdose reversal

Term
Heroin
Definition
Phenanthrene
Term
Pentazocine: Class, Activity
Definition

Benzomorphan

 

Agonist at Kappa

Antagonist at Mu

Term
Morphine: Class, Metabolism
Definition

Phenanthrene

Undergoes glucuronidation

  • M3G = neurotoxicity
  • M6G = analgesia
Term
Diphenoxylate
Definition
Benzomorphan
Term
Loperamide
Definition
Benzomorphan
Term
Meperidine: Class, Cautions
Definition

Phenylpiperidine

 

Currently being phased out due to ceiliing dose as a result of toxic metabolite (normeperidine)

Accumulaiton in renal insufficiency

Caution reversing overdose with naloxone (seizures may result)

Term
Fentanyl: Class, Metabolism
Definition

Phenylpiperidine

 

Metabolized via CYP 3A4 to inactive metabolites

Term
Sufentanil: Class, Uses
Definition

Phenylpiperidine

 

Rarely used in pain mgmt

 

Used in extremely opioid tolerant patients

Term
Alfentanil: Class
Definition

Phenylpiperidine

 

Rarely used

Term
Remifentanil: Class
Definition

Phenylpiperidine

 

Rarely used

Term

Definition

Diphenylheptane

 

Opioidergic

NMDA Antagonism

NE/5-HT Reuptake Inhibition

 

Metabolism via N-demethylation

 

May cause QTc prolongation, Torsades de Pointes

 

 

Term

Definition

Diphenylheptane

 

Opioid and NMDA activity

 

Usually combined with APAP

 

Rarely used alone

 

Constipating


Term
