Type small molecule
Groups illicit, approved
Description

A potent narcotic analgesic, abuse of which leads to habituation or addiction. It is primarily a mu-opioid agonist. Fentanyl is also used as an adjunct to general anesthetics, and as an anesthetic for induction and maintenance. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1078)

Pharmacology
Indication For the treatment of cancer patients with severe pain that breaks through their regular narcotic therapy.
Pharmacodynamics Fentanyl is an opioid analgesic. Fentanyl interacts predominately with the opioid mu-receptor but also binds to kappa and delta-type opioid receptors. These mu-binding sites are discretely distributed in the human brain, spinal cord, and other tissues. In clinical settings, Fentanyl exerts its principal pharmacologic effects on the central nervous system. Its primary actions of therapeutic value are analgesia and sedation. Fentanyl may increase the patient's tolerance for pain and decrease the perception of suffering, although the presence of the pain itself may still be recognized. In addition to analgesia, alterations in mood, euphoria and dysphoria, and drowsiness commonly occur. Fentanyl depresses the respiratory centers, depresses the cough reflex, and constricts the pupils.
Mechanism of action Opiate receptors are coupled with G-protein receptors and function as both positive and negative regulators of synaptic transmission via G-proteins that activate effector proteins. Binding of the opiate stimulates the exchange of GTP for GDP on the G-protein complex. As the effector system is adenylate cyclase and cAMP located at the inner surface of the plasma membrane, opioids decrease intracellular cAMP by inhibiting adenylate cyclase. Subsequently, the release of nociceptive neurotransmitters such as substance P, GABA, dopamine, acetylcholine and noradrenaline is inhibited. Opioids also inhibit the release of vasopressin, somatostatin, insulin and glucagon. Fentanyl's analgesic activity is, most likely, due to its conversion to morphine. Opioids close N-type voltage-operated calcium channels (OP2-receptor agonist) and open calcium-dependent inwardly rectifying potassium channels (OP3 and OP1 receptor agonist). This results in hyperpolarization and reduced neuronal excitability.
Absorption Bioavailability is 92% following transdermal administration and 50% following buccal administration.
Volume of distribution
  • 3 to 8 L/kg [Surgical Patients]
  • 0.8 to 8 [Hepatically Impaired Patients]
Protein binding 80-85%
Metabolism Fentanyl is metabolized primarily via human cytochrome P450 3A4 isoenzyme system.
Route of elimination Fentanyl is metabolized primarily via human cytochrome P450 3A4 isoenzyme system and mostly eliminated in urine. Within 72 hours of IV fentanyl administration, approximately 75% of the dose is excreted in urine, mostly as metabolites with less than 10% representing unchanged drug.
Half life 7 (range 3-12) hours
Clearance
  • 27 – 75 L/h [Surgical Patients receving IV administration]
  • 3 – 80 L/h [Hepatically Impaired Patients receving IV administration]
  • 30 – 78 L/h [Renally Impaired Patients receving IV administration]
Toxicity Fentanyl has an LD50 of 3.1 milligrams per kilogram in rats, and, 0.03 milligrams per kilogram in monkeys. The LD50 in humans is not known.
Affected organisms
  • Humans and other mammals

Alvimopan Increases levels by receptor binding competition. Discontinue opioid administration at least 7 days prior to administrating Alvimopan.
Amiodarone Possible bradycardia, hypotension
Amprenavir The protease inhibitor, amprenavir, may increase the effect and toxicity of fentanyl.
Bicalutamide CYP3A4 Inhibitors like bicalutamide may increase the serum concentration of fentanyl. The risk of prolonged adverse effects, including potentially fatal respiratory depression is increased. Consider therapy modification.
