Study Notes
Mu Receptor (μ)
- Activation of this receptor can lead to pain relief, analgesia, and euphoria.
- Activation can also cause respiratory depression, constipation, and physical dependence.
Kappa Receptor (κ)
- Activation causes pain relief, sedation, respiratory depression, and dependence.
Mixed Agonist-Antagonist
- These drugs, like pentazocine and nalorphine, have an agonist effect on one receptor and an antagonist effect on another.
Full Antagonist
- Pure competitive antagonists like naloxone block the actions of morphine in low doses.
- Higher doses of naloxone can have analgesic effects and mimic the effects of morphine.
Nalorphine
- When administered intravenously, nalorphine can induce respiratory depression, miosis, and a lack of righting reflex in rabbits.
- Nalorphine can also induce an increase in respiratory rate, activity, miosis, and the presence of a righting reflex.
