Study Notes
Alkaloid Drugs
- Amphetamines: Stimulants that cause feelings of well-being. They mimic catecholamines (e.g., adrenaline) in the body.
- Cocaine: A natural stimulant acting like catecholamines. Metabolites can be detected in urine for up to 3 days.
- Opiates: Depressants slowing muscle activity, heartbeat, breathing, and sleep drive. Effective pain relievers and mood elevators. They mimic endorphins in the body.
- Cannabinoids: Fast-acting plant alkaloids. Their body mimic is unknown. Metabolites can be detected in urine for several months.
