毒理性
洛芬太尼是一种非常强效的阿片类止痛药。它在临床上用于疼痛管理。然而,这种药物的高止痛效力因长期使用后产生耐受性而受限。在患者研究中,非常低发生率的副作用包括恶心、呕吐和镇静。另一项研究提到,三名患者出现嗜睡作为副作用。在动物研究中,向大鼠静脉注射递增剂量的洛芬太尼(0、0.08、0.16、0.31、0.63、1.25、2.50、5.00 和 10.0 微克/千克),以检查中枢神经系统(CNS)抑制剂剂量、止痛程度(抑制尾撤反射)、麻醉(对骨碎伤无反应)和CNS阿片受体占有率之间的关系。递增剂量的洛芬太尼产生递增的止痛和麻醉,并最终达到阿片受体的完全占有率。当洛芬太尼的剂量(0.31 微克/千克)导致CNS阿片受体结合水平低到无法测量时,产生止痛作用;而当洛芬太尼的剂量(1.25 微克/千克)在大脑皮层和皮层下区域产生约25%的阿片受体占有率时,产生麻醉作用。在大鼠中,需要八倍于洛芬太尼麻醉剂量的剂量才能几乎饱和所有可用的CNS阿片受体(10.0 微克/千克)。
IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Lofentanil is a very potent opioid analgesic. It is used clinically in the management of pain. However, the high analgesic potency of this drug is limited by the development of tolerance after chronic use. HUMAN STUDIES: In patients side effects of very low incidence included nausea, vomiting and sedation. Another study mentions drowsiness in three patients as a side effect. ANIMAL STUDIES: Increasing doses of lofentanil (0, 0.08, 0.16, 0.31, 0.63, 1.25, 2.50, 5.00, and 10.0 ug/kg) were administered intravenously to rats to examine the relationship among central nervous system (CNS) depressant dosage, degree of analgesia (inhibition of tail withdrawal reflex), anesthesia (no response to bone-crush injury), and CNS opiate-receptor occupancy. Increasing doses of lofentanil produce increasing analgesia and anesthesia and eventually complete opiate receptor occupancy. Analgesia occurs with doses of lofentanil (0.31 ug/kg) that result in levels of CNS opiate-receptor binding too low to be measured and anesthesia occurs with doses of lofentanil (1.25 ug/kg) that produce occupancy of about 25% of the available opiate receptors in subcortical areas and cortex. In rats a dose eight times the anesthetic dose of lofentanil is needed to saturate virtually all available CNS opiate receptors (10.0 ug/kg).
