Biochem/physiol Actions

Sufentanil is a mu-opioid selective agonist, 10 times more potent than fentanyl, over 1000 times more potent than morphine. Sufentanil citrate is used as an analgesic and anesthesia adjunct. There are some differences in activity and selectivity among the mu-opiate agonist analgesics. Receptor-internalizing agonists like beta-endorphin, methadone, fentanyl, and sufentanil have been found to induce NADH/NADPH-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) synthesis via Phospholipase D-dependent signaling pathways whereas agonists like morphine that do not induce receptor endocytosis failed to activate ROS synthesis. In another report meperidine, remifentanil and tramadol were found to interact with alpha(2)-adrenoceptors, whereas sufentanil did not.

Pharmacotherapy, 4(1), 11-19 (1984-01-01)
Sufentanil citrate is a potent analogue of fentanyl that has been evaluated primarily for use in opioid anesthesia. It is a pure mu receptor agonist and produces the typical spectrum of opioid effects. The major side effects are truncal rigidity
T I Saari et al.
British journal of anaesthesia, 113(4), 677-687 (2014-07-09)
Our objective was to evaluate the effect of intensive care treatment on the protein binding of sufentanil and hydromorphone in cardiac surgery patients during postoperative analgesia using a target-controlled infusion (TCI) and patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). Fifty adult patients were enrolled
