Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)


Conditions:

Morphine is one of the most important and widely used opioid for the treatment of chronic and acute pain: the very wide interindividual variability in the patients’ response to the drug may have genetic derivations. Sulphate salt of morphine sold under the many brand names, one of them, DURAMORPH, which is indicated for the management of pain severe enough to require use of an opioid analgesic by intravenous administration, and for which alternative treatments are not expected to be adequate. In addition for the epidural or intrathecal management of pain without attendant loss of motor, sensory, or sympathetic function. Morphine is a full opioid agonist and is relatively selective for the mu-opioid receptor, although it can bind to other opioid receptors at higher doses. The principal therapeutic action of morphine is analgesia. Like all full opioid agonists, there is no ceiling effect for analgesia with morphine. The precise mechanism of the analgesic action is unknown. However, specific CNS opioid receptors for endogenous compounds with opioid-like activity have been identified throughout the brain and spinal cord and are thought to play a role in the analgesic effects of this drug. Morphine has a high potential for addiction and abuse. Common side effects include drowsiness, vomiting, and constipation. Caution is advised when used during pregnancy or breast-feeding, as morphine will affect the baby.

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)


Conditions:

Codeine is an opiate used to manage mild to moderate pain severe enough to require an opioid. Codeine is a selective agonist for the mu opioid receptor and has an affinity to delta and kappa-opioid receptors. In some countries, this drug is regulated under various narcotic control laws, because its chronic use can cause physical dependence. In others, it is available without a medical prescription in combination with paracetamol.

INN:myrophine [INN]

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)

Myrophine is an opiate analog and long-acting prodrug for morphine with a slow onset of effects. It is weaker than morphine as an analgesic but longer-lasting in effects and was thought to have a more local anesthetic effect than morphine, though with a somewhat greater tendency to cause histamine reactions like itching and rash. In addiction studies conducted in human subjects in the 1950s, myrophine did not substitute for morphine in withdrawal, did not produce notable morphine-like effects, and did not produce addiction or dependence regardless of dose or how it was administered.

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)


Conditions:

Desomorphine is the common name for 4,5--epoxy-17- methylmorphinan-3-ol or dihydrodesoxymorphine-D. It is an opioid analogue and morphine derivative in which the 6-hydroxyl group and the double bond at carbons 7 and 8 of morphine are reduced. Desomorphine can cross the blood–brain barrier, binding to opioid receptors, similar to the pharmacokinetic distribution of all phenanthrene-structured alkaloids. Taking Desomorphine causes euphoria as well as sedative and analgesic relief. In addition to its faster onset than other powerful painkillers drugs such as morphine, desomorphine also initiates less sedative effects and seems to have favorable postoperative results, such as reduced need for catheterization, less dizziness, and decreased vomiting incidence. In comparison with Morphine, Desomorphine is faster reduced. It follows that it has to be taken it more frequently to get the same effects. Furthermore, it causes side effects such as respiratory and gastrointestinal problems and increased blood pressure. In addition, Desomorphine’s withdrawal symptoms are up to three times longer than Morphine’s. This leads to the conclusion that Desomorphine is more addictive. At present, desomorphine is classified as a narcotic drug (DEA code number 9055) in Schedule I of the U.S. Controlled Substances Act and is listed as a controlled substance under the international Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961.

INN:morphine glucuronide [INN]

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)

Morphine-6-glucuronide is a pharmacologically active metabolite of morphine that is being developed by CeNeS Pharmaceuticals as an alternative to morphine for the management of postoperative pain. Compared to morphine, Morphine-6-glucuronide has been reported to have6 and 86 times lower affinity for the human mu and kappa opioid receptors, respectively, and similar affinity for the delta opioid receptor. Morphine-6-glucuronide is was studied in phase III clinical trials for postoperative pain management. Unfortunately, Morphine-6-glucuronide failed to demonstrate superior safety compared to Morphine and further development was discontinued. Morphine-6-glucuronide accumulates after administration of morphine to patients with renal insufficiency, and analgesia can be obtained with lower doses of morphine compared to patients with normal renal function. More importantly, the dose should be reduced to avoid serious side-effects, although the simulations in this review did not account for side-effects.
