- Morphine ( MS Contin, MSIR, Avinza, Kadian,
Oramorph, Roxanol, Kapanol) is a potent opiate analgesic medication
and is
considered to be the prototypical opioid.
- It was first isolated in 1804 by Friedrich
Sertürner, first distributed by same in 1817,and first commercially
sold by Merck in 1827,which at the time was a single small chemists'
shop.
- It was more widely used after the
invention of the hypodermic needle in 1857.
- It took its name from the Greek god of
dreams Morpheus (Greek: Μορφέας).
- Morphine is the most abundant alkaloid
found in opium, the dried sap (latex) derived from shallowly slicing
the unripe seedpods of the opium, or common or edible, poppy,
Papaver somniferum.
- Like other opioids, such as oxycodone,
hydromorphone, and diacetylmorphine (heroin), morphine acts directly
on the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain.
- Unlike many other opioids, morphine is an
opiate and a natural product.
- Morphine has a high potential for
addiction; tolerance and psychological dependence develop rapidly,
although Physiological dependence may take several months to
develop.
- In controlled studies comparing the
physiological and subjective effects of injected heroin and morphine
in individuals formerly addicted to opiates, subjects showed no
preference for one drug over the other.
- Morphine is a potentially highly addictive
substance.
- It can cause psychological dependence and
physical dependence as well as tolerance, with an addiction
potential identical to that of heroin.
- The effects of morphine can be countered
with opioid antagonists such as naloxone and naltrexone; the
development of tolerance to morphine may be inhibited by NMDA
antagonists such as ketamine or dextromethorphan.
