This document discusses opioid analgesics, specifically morphine. It provides details on the classification, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and adverse effects of morphine. Morphine is derived from opium extracted from the poppy plant. It acts primarily as an agonist at mu opioid receptors in the central nervous system to produce analgesia, sedation, euphoria and other effects. It has a wide distribution and undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism primarily through glucuronidation. Common adverse effects include sedation, constipation, respiratory depression and vomiting.
Opioids are natural, semi-synthetic, and synthetic compounds that mimic the action of morphine. They act on opioid receptors both endogenously and exogenously. The physiological effects of opioids include analgesia through raising pain threshold and tolerance, respiratory depression by decreasing sensitivity to carbon dioxide, and euphoria producing a relaxed state. Opioids also cause sedation, gastrointestinal effects like nausea and constipation, and cardiovascular effects such as mild bradycardia and hypotension.
This document discusses depolarizing neuromuscular blockers, which are drugs that cause muscle relaxation by initially stimulating muscle fiber membranes through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, leading to depolarization and muscle contraction, followed by desensitization of the receptors preventing further contraction. Succinylcholine is a commonly used depolarizing blocker that acts rapidly but has a short duration. It causes initial muscle fasciculations before paralysis sets in, reversing from smaller muscles to larger ones like the diaphragm. Depolarizing blockers are used to facilitate procedures like intubation but can rarely cause adverse effects like hyperkalemia or malignant hyperthermia.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

• Permits dosing flexibility, avoids delay in administration, not found
addictive
17. Pharmacologicalactions: Analgesia
• 2-3 grams
• Pain of inflammatory origin
• Pain relief without Euphoria & hypnosis
Pharmacologicalactions: Antipyretic
• Fever: hypothalamus: PG rise in temperature (inhibit)
• Enhanced sweating promote heat loss
18. Pharmacologicalactions:

• High dose : 4-6 gm/day
• PGs Signs of inflammation : tenderness,
swelling, pain, erythema (inhibited)
• Interferes with Chemical mediators of
inflammation
Pharmacologicalactions: Respiration
• At anti-inflammatory doses :increased rate & depth of respiration
increase consumption of oxygen increased CO2 production
plasma CO2 washed out respiratory alkalosis
• Toxic doses respiratory failure
19. Pharmacologicalactions:
Acid- base& electrolytebalance
• Respiratory alkalosis pH alkaline increased excretion of
bicarbonates in urine
• Toxic doses respiratory center depression CO2 accumulation
decrease in pH acidosis
• Severe Dehydration + Acidosis

21. Stomach pH:
Acidic
Parietal cell (pH- alkaline)
A
Aspirin (acidic) in the
stomach remains unionized
readily absorbed by GI
wall
The absorbed
aspirin enters
parietal cells
In the parietal cells the acidic
aspirin undergoes ionisation
unable to move across the
membrane trapped
Ion trapping of aspirin
Enhances gastric toxicity focal necrosis of mucosal cells and capillaries acute
ulcers, erosive ulcers
GI wall pH-
neutral
22. Pharmacologicalactions:
Uric acid excretion
• 1-2 gm/day : Decreases urate excretion increase plasma urate
levels
