NCIt definition : A synthetic, lipophilic phenylpiperidine opioid agonist with analgesic and anesthetic
properties. Fentanyl selectively binds to and activates the mu-receptor in the central
nervous system (CNS) thereby mimicking the effects of endogenous opiates. Activation
of the mu-subtype opioid receptor stimulates the exchange of GTP for GDP on the G-protein
complex and subsequently inhibits adenylate cyclase. This causes a decrease in intracellular
cAMP which inhibits cAMP-mediated calcium influx into the cell via the calcium channels
and thereby results in hyperpolarization and reduced neuronal excitability.;
