Partial agonist of opioid is –
Correct Answer: Buprenorphine
Description: Ans. is 'b > d' i.e., Buprenorphine > Butorphenol o An opioid is a psychoactive chemical that works by binding to opioid receptors, which are found principally in the central and peripheral nervous system and GIT.o So, opioids can be divided into:-1. Opioid agonists# These have only agonistic action on opioid receptors. Drugs are:1. Natural:- Morphine, codeine.2. Semisynthetic:- diacetylmorphine (Heroin), pholcodeine, hydromorphone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, oxycodone.3. Synthetic:- Pethidine (mepridine), fentanyl, methadone, dextropropoxyphene, tramadol, sulfentanil, alfentanil, remifentanil, levorphenol, dextromoramide, dipipanone.2. Complex action opioid and opioid antagonists.# Relatively minor changes in the structure of an opioid can convert a drug that is primarily an agonist into one with antagonistic actions at one or more types of opioid receptors. Drugs are:1. Agonist-antagonists (k analgesics) - Nalorphine, Pentazocine, Butorphenol.2. Partial/weak p agonist + k antagonist - Buprenorphine.3. Pure antagonists - Naloxone, Naltrexone, Nalmefene.Nature of interaction of opioid ligands with the three major typesof opioid receptors, along with equivalent analgesic dosesLigandm (mu)k (kappa)d (delta)Analgesic dose (mg)1.
