What is the difference between strong<br />

and partial agonists?<br />

What is the difference between opiates<br />

and opioids?<br />

How do kappa and mu receptors differ?<br />

Which opioids/opiates are strong<br />

mu receptor agonists?<br />

Which opioids/opiates are partial<br />

mu receptor agonists?<br />

What relative of morphine without<br />

sedative effect is used to suppress<br />

cough?<br />

Which opioids/opiates are mu receptor<br />

antagonists?<br />

Which opioids/opiates are kappa<br />

receptor antagonists?<br />

What drug can be used as a narcotic<br />

reversal agent?<br />

Which opioids/opiates are metabolized<br />

by CYP2D6?<br />

Both strong and partial agonists have<br />

high affinity for the receptor; but unlike<br />

strong agonists, partial agonists have<br />

low efficacy to activate the receptor<br />

resulting in a weak effect. Because of<br />

this high affinity/low efficacy, they can<br />

antagonize/block the effects of a<br />

stronger agonist.<br />

Opiates are derived from the<br />

opium poppy, while opioids<br />

are synthetic or semisynthetic<br />

derivatives of opiates.<br />

The difference between kappa receptors<br />

and mu receptors is that activation of<br />

kappa receptors produces less analgesia,<br />

less respiratory depression/asphyxia<br />

(floor effect), and produce dysphoria<br />

instead of euphoria.<br />
