Meperidine (Pethidine, Demerol) • For much of the 20th century, pethidine was the opioid of choice for many physicians; in 1983 60% of doctors prescribed it for acute pain and 22% for chronic severe pain. • Compared to morphine, pethidine was supposed to be safer and carry less risk of addiction, and to be superior in treating the pain associated with biliary spasm or renal colic due to its putative antispasmodic effects. • It has fallen out of favor in recent years.

Diphenoxylate O N O O Et N O CN CH3 Et Meperidine (DemerolTM) (PethidineTM) Diphenoxylate (active ingredient of Lomotil) (mixture with atropine, to prevent abuse) • It is a congener to the narcotic Meperidine of which the common brand name is Demerol. • This being the case, this medication is potentially habit-forming, particularly in high doses or when longtime usage is involved. Lomotil (Diphenoxylate + Atropine) • To avoid potential abuse, diphenoxylate is manufactured and marketed as a combination drug with atropine (Lomotil). • Atropine is a competitive antagonist of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors • Due to the presence of atropine, ingestion of too much Lomotil thus causes nausea and muscle weakness. Lomotil (Diphenoxylate + Atropine) Loperamide (Imodium) • Loperamide is an opioid receptor agonist and acts on the μ-opioid receptors in the myenteric plexus large intestines; • it does not affect the central nervous system like other opioids. myenteric plexus Loperamide (Imodium) • Loperamide works by decreasing the activity of the myenteric plexus which decreases the motility of the circular and longitudinal smooth muscles of the intestinal wall. • This increases the amount of time substances stay in the intestine, allowing for more water to be absorbed out of the fecal matter. • Loperamide also decreases colonic mass movements and suppresses the gastrocolic reflex Loperamide (Imodium) Cl HO N N O CH3 CH3 • Loperamide does not cross the blood-brain barrier and has no analgesic properties. Tolerance in response to long-term use has not been reported.However, loperamide can cause physical dependence. Symptoms of opiate withdrawal have been observed in patients abruptly discontinuing long-term therapy with loperamide.

Fentanyl N O N CH2CH2Ph Et • Fentanyl is an opioid analgesic, first synthesized by Janssen Pharmaceutica (Belgium) in the late 1950s, with an analgesic potency of about 80 times that of morphine. • Fentanyl was introduced into medical practice in the 1960s as an intravenous anesthetic under the trade name of Sublimaze.

O Fentanyl and analogs • Fentanyls are extensively used for anesthesia and analgesia, most often in the operating room and intensive care unit. • Duragesic, by Janssen Pharmaceutica, is a fentanyl transdermal patch used in chronic pain management. • Duragesic patches work by releasing fentanyl into body fats, which then slowly release the drug into the blood stream over 72 hours, allowing for long lasting relief from pain. Carfentanil O N O OCH3 N Et Carfentanil (100X more potent than Fentanil!) • Carfentanil was discovered by Janssen Pharmaceutica. • It has a quantitative potency approximately 10,000 times that of morphine and 100 times that of fentanyl, activity in humans starting at about 1 μg. Carfentanil •Carfentanil is marketed under the trade name Wildnil as a tranquilizer for large animals. It is intended for animal use only as its extreme potency makes it inappropriate for use in humans. Carfentanil • It is thought that in the 2002 Moscow theater hostage crisis, the Russian military made use of an aerosol form of carfentanil to subdue Chechen hostage takers. • Its short action, easy reversibility and therapeutic index (10600 vs. 300 for fentanyl) would make it a near-perfect agent for this purpose. Carfentanil • Wax et al. surmise from the available evidence that the Moscow emergency services had not been informed of the use of the agent, and therefore did not have adequate supplies of naloxone or naltrexone (opioid antagonists) to prevent complications in many of the victims. • Assuming that carfentanil was the only active constituent (which has not been verified by the Russian military), the primary acute toxic effect to the theatre victims would have been opioid-induced apnea; in this case mechanical ventilation and/or treatment with opioid antagonists would have been life-saving for many or all victims.

Methadone CH3 O CH3 N CH3 • Methadone was introduced into the United States in 1947 by Eli Lilly and Company as an analgesic (They gave it the trade name Dolophine, which is now registered to Roxane Laboratories). • Since then, it has been best known for its use in treating narcotic addiction, although such a use never became widespread and common until the early 1990's when public policy sought to find ways to reduce the spread of HIV and AIDS. ‘Scheduling’ of Drugs • The Controlled Substances Act was introduced into law in 1970 • According to the CSA, drugs are classified or “scheduled” depending on their potential for abuse and whether or not there is a medical need for a particular drug. Schedule I drugs • Findings required: • (A) The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse. • (B) The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. • (C) There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision. • Examples include Heroin, Cannabis, and LSD Schedule II drugs Findings required: (A) The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse. (B) The drug or other substance has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States or a currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions. (C) Abuse of the drug or other substances may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence. Examples include Morphine, Cocaine, Methylphenidate (Ritalin) Schedule III drugs • Findings required: • (A) The drug or other substance has a potential for abuse less than the drugs or other substances in schedules I and II. • (B) The drug or other substance has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. • (C) Abuse of the drug or other substance may lead to moderate or low physical dependence or high psychological dependence. • Examples include anabolic steroids, hydrocodone, and codeine. Schedule IV drugs • Findings required: • (A) The drug or other substance has a low potential for abuse relative to the drugs or other substances in schedule III. • (B) The drug or other substance has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. • (C) Abuse of the drug or other substance may lead to limited physical dependence or psychological dependence relative to the drugs or other substances in schedule III. • Examples include: benzodiazepines and barbituates. Schedule V drugs • Findings required: • (A) The drug or other substance has a low potential for abuse relative to the drugs or other substances in schedule IV. • (B) The drug or other substance has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. • (C) Abuse of the drug or other substance may lead to limited physical dependence or psychological dependence relative to the drugs or other substances in schedule IV. • Examples include cough syrups containing a small amount of codeine, or anti-diarrheal’s containing small amounts of diphenoxylate.
