Background

Fentanyl, a potent opioid agonist, was developed in the 1950s to fill a need for strong and rapid analgesia.8 Because of these characteristics, fentanyl is commonly used to treat chronic cancer pain or in anesthesia.Label,15,16,17,18,19,20,21 Fentanyl is related to other opioids like morphine and oxycodone.

Fentanyl's high potency has also made it a common adulterant in illicit drugs, especially heroin.8 In 2017, 47600 overdose deaths in the United States involved some opioid (over 2/3 of all overdose deaths).22 Opioid overdoses kill an average of 11 Canadians daily.23

Fentanyl was FDA approved in 1968.Label,15,16,17,18,19,20,21

Pharmacology

Indication

Fentanyl intravenous or intramuscular injections are indicated for short term analgesia during induction, maintenance, and recovery from general or regional anesthesia.Label These injections are also used with a neuroleptic for premedication, induction, and as an adjunct to maintenance of anesthesia.Label Finally, fentanyl intravenous or intramuscular injections are used with oxygen for anesthesia in high risk patients.Label

Fentanyl sublingual tablets, transmucosal lozenges, buccal tablets, sublingual sprays, transdermal systems, and nasal sprays are indicated for the management of breakthrough pain in opioid tolerant cancer patients who require around the clock pain management.15,16,17,18,19,20

Pharmacodynamics

Fentanyl produces strong analgesia through its activation of opioid receptors.Label,6 It has a duration of action of several hours and a wider therapeutic index as patients develop tolerance to opioids.Label Fentanyl is associated with a risk of addiction and abuse and should not be mixed with alcohol or benzodiazepines.Label,15,16,17,18,19,20,21

Mechanism of action

Fentanyl binds to opioid receptors, especially the mu opioid receptor, which are coupled to G-proteins.6 Activation of opioid receptors causes GTP to be exchanged for GDP on the G-proteins which in turn down regulates adenylate cyclase, reducing concentrations of cAMP.6 Reduced cAMP decreases cAMP dependant influx of calcium ions into the cell.6 The exchange of GTP for GDP results in hyperpolarization of the cell and inhibition of nerve activity.6

Absorption

Fentanyl sublingual tablets are 54% bioavailable15, transmucosal lozenges are 50% bioavailable16, buccal tablets are 65% bioavailable17, sublingual spray is 76% bioavailable18, and nasal spray is 20% more bioavailable than transmucosal20 (or approximately 64% bioavailable).

Fentanyl transmucosal lozenges reach a Cmax of 0.4±0.1ng/mL for a 200µg dose and 2.5±0.6ng/mL for a 1600µg dose with a Tmax of 20-40 minutes.11 The AUC was 172±96ng*min/mL for a 200µg dose and 1508±1360ng*min/mL for a 1600µg dose.11

Fentanyl sublingual spray reached a Cmax of 0.20±0.06ng/mL for a 100µg dose and 1.61±0.60ng/mL for an 800µg dose with a Tmax of 0.69-1.25 hours, decreasing as the dose increased.12 The AUC was 1.25±0.67ng*h/mL for a 100µg dose and 10.38±3.70ng*h/mL for a 800µg dose.12

Fentanyl transdermal systems reached a Cmax of 0.24±0.20ng/mL with a Tmax of 3.6±1.3h for a 25µg/h dose.13 The AUC was 0.42±0.35ng/mL*h.13

Fentanyl nasal spray reaches a Cmax of 815±301pg/mL with a Tmax of less than 1 hour for a 200µg/100µL dose.14 The AUC was 3772pg*h/mL.14

Volume of distribution

The intravenous volume of distribution is 4L/kg (3-8L/kg)Label,19. The oral volume of distribution is 25.4L/kg.17 In hepatically impaired patients, the intravenous volume of distribution ranges from 0.8-8L/kg.19

Fentanyl crosses the blood brain barrier9 and the placenta.10

Protein binding

Fentanyl is 80-85% bound to plasma proteins.15,16,17,18,20 In one study, a 0.1µg/L solution of fentanyl was 77.9±1.1% bound to human serum albumin and 12.0±5.4% bound to α-1 acid glycoprotein.7 A 0.1µg/L solution of norfentanyl, the primary metabolite of fentanyl, was 7.62±1.2% bound to human serum albumin and 7.24±1.9% bound to α-1 acid glycoprotein.7

Metabolism

Fentanyl is metabolized to a number of inactive metabolites.5 Fentanyl is 99% N-dealkylated to norfentanyl by cytochrome P450.5 It can also be amide hydrolyzed to despropionylfentanyl, or alkyl hydroxylated to hydroxyfentanyl which is N-dealkylated to hydroxynorfentanyl.5

Route of elimination

Within 72 hours, 75% of a dose of fentanyl is excreted in the urine with <7% unchanged, and 9% is excreted in the feces with <1% unchanged.Label,15,19

Half-life

The half life of fentanyl is 7 hours.16 The half life of fentanyl sublingual spray is 5-12 hours.18

Clearance

Total plasma clearance of fentanyl is 0.5L/hr/kg (0.3-0.7L/hr/kg)16 or 42L/hr.17,20 Following an intravenous dose, surgical patients displayed a clearance of 27-75L/h, hepatically impaired patients displayed a clearance of 3-80L/h, and renally impaired patients displayed a clearance of 30-78L/h.19
