Study Notes
Drug Interactions
- Drug interactions can occur when two or more drugs have opposite effects on the body.
- An example of a drug interaction is when a partial agonist and a full agonist interact.
Partial Agonists
- Partial agonists have a weaker effect than a full agonist even when bound to the same receptor.
- Examples: Buprenorphine
Mixed Agonist-Antagonists
- Mixed agonist-antagonists have agonistic effects on one receptor and antagonistic effects on another.
- Examples: Pentazocine, Nalorphine
Nalorphine
- Nalorphine has a similar structure to morphine.
- It is a competitive antagonist and can block many of the effects of morphine.
- Nalorphine at low doses can mimic the effects of morphine.
Morphine Experiment
- Animal: Rabbit
- Drugs: Morphine and Nalorphine (administered intravenously)
Morphine Experiment - Procedure
- Normal State: Record the rabbit's normal respiratory rate and observe its activity; ensure the absence of miosis (constricted pupils) and the presence of a righting reflex.
- Administration of Morphine: Morphine will result in a decreased respiratory rate, decreased activity, miosis, and a loss of the righting reflex.
- Administration of Nalorphine: After morphine administration, administer nalorphine intravenously to the rabbit.
