The effects of vasopressin and oxytocin on acute morphine antinociception and on tolerance development were examined in mice and rats. The studies failed to demonstrate any alteration of chronic morphine effects using two separate models of tolerance development in the mouse. Adrenalectomy enhanced the antinociceptive, hyperthermic, and cataleptic effects of acute morphine treatment, but vasopressin was without additional effect in either adrenalectomized or sham-control rats. Furthermore, neither vasopressin nor oxytocin pretreatment altered brain concentrations of acutely injected morphine. It is concluded that the role of vasopressin and oxytocin as endogenous mediators of opiate analgesia or tolerance/dependence is minimal at best. 相似文献

During pregnancy, emergence of endogenous opioid inhibition of oxytocin neurons is revealed by increased oxytocin secretion
after administration of the opioid receptor antagonist, naloxone. Here we show that prolonged estradiol-17β and progesterone
treatment (mimicking pregnancy levels) potentiates naloxone-induced oxytocin secretion in urethane-anesthetized virgin female
rats. We further show that estradiol-17β alone rapidly modifies opioid interactions with oxytocin neurons, by recording their
firing rate in anesthetized rats sensitized to naloxone by morphine dependence. Naloxone-induced morphine withdrawal strongly
increased the firing rate of oxytocin neurons in morphine dependent rats. Estradiol-17β did not alter basal oxytocin neuron
firing rate over 30 min, but amplified naloxone-induced increases in firing rate. Firing pattern analysis indicated that acute
estradiol-17β increased oxytocin secretion in dependent rats by increasing action potential clustering without an overall
increase in firing rate. Hence, rapid estradiol-17β actions might underpin enhanced oxytocin neuron responses to naloxone
in pregnancy.

Stereo-structural difference of ohmefentanyl stereoisomers on analgesic action and receptor affinity has been studied. To assess the difference of ohmefentanyl stereoisomers in physical dependence, the potency of physical dependence was quantified by estimating the ED50 value of ohmefentanyl stereoisomers in the naloxone-precipitated jumping test in mice. Morphine was used to assess the method and as a drug of comparison. The results indicate that the degree of physical dependence of morphine can been quantified by estimating the ED50 value of morphine withdrawal jumping induced by naloxone. A significant difference was observed in withdrawal jumping ED50 values among ohmefentanyl stereoisomers. Of these isomers, F9202 and F9204 had similarly potent analgesic action, but very significant difference in naloxone precipitated withdrawal response. Dependent potency index of F9204 was 618-fold weaker than that of F9202. It is concluded that a stereo-structural difference in physical dependence is found to exist among ohmefentanyl stereoisomers. Compound F9204 displayed a strong analgesic action and weak physical dependent potency. 相似文献

The neurotransmitter and neuropeptide mechanisms responsible for the development of the morphine drug dependence and a withdrawal
syndrome (WS) were studied in rats. Physical dependence and WS were found to develop against the background of restricted
responsiveness of the adrenergic and dopaminergic systems. At the same time, the activity of the serotonin-, GABA-, vasopressin-,
and oxytocinergic systems is suppressed at the WS. Agonists of opiate receptors, butorphanol and loperamid, were shown to
improve the physical state of the animals with a WS. Similar action was found to be exerted by activators of the adrenergic
system (ephedrine, phenylephrine), dopaminergic system (levoDOPA, apomorphine), and serotonergic system (tryptophan), as well
as by neuropeptides, vasopressin and oxytocin. 相似文献

The effect of cyclo (Leu-Gly), an analog of melanotropin release inhibition factor on the development of tolerance to and physical dependence on morphine in the rat was investigated. Administration of cyclo (Leu-Gly) (1 μg/rat/day) prior to and during morphine pellet implantation failed to facilitate the development of tolerance to the analgesic and hypothermic effects of morphine. Similarly the development of dependence on morphine was not facilitated by cyclo (Leu-Gly) as evidenced by changes in body weight and body temperature observed during abrupt withdrawal of morphine. These studies do not lend support to the previous observations that cyclo (Leu-Gly) and other related peptides facilitate the development of tolerance to and physical dependence on morphine. 相似文献

The technique of morphine pellet implantation was used to produce physical dependence on morphine in male rats. The number of “wet dog” shakes occurring within a period of 30 minutes during naloxone-precipitated (1.0 mg/kg, s.c.) withdrawal in four-day morphine implanted rats was determined after either acute or chronic treatment with ethanol. An acute dose of ethanol administered prior to withdrawal had no significant effect on the withdrawal response whereas chronic administration of ethanol during the development of dependence on morphine significantly suppressed the naloxone-precipitated withdrawal response to 44–57 percent of the control response. Analysis of brain and plasma for morphine concentration four days following dependence development showed no significant differences between morphine controls and those animals treated with both morphine and ethanol. Pentobarbital, another central nervous system depressant, demonstrated no effect on the withdrawal response, whether administered acutely or chronically during the development of dependence. 相似文献

Perfusion of the snail (Helix lucorum L.) CNS with DG-AVP (concentration 10(-6) M) in the course of low frequency intracellular stimulation (2-4-minute interval) of the defensive reflex command neurons led to an increase in the excitability. It was expressed both in the reduction of the spike generation latency, in the increased number of spikes in response to fixed stimuli, and in the activation of pacemaker potentials. If DG-AVP was added to the medium during endoneuronal habituation, there was no increase in the excitability. It is supposed that modification of the neuronal excitability may be caused by the DG-AVP effect on the pacemaker mechanism. 相似文献

Initiated by the activation of various nociceptors, pain is a reaction to specific stimulus modalities. The μ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists, including morphine, remain the most potent analgesics to treat patients with moderate to severe pain. However, the utility of MOR agonists is limited by the adverse effects associated with the use of these drugs, including analgesic tolerance and physical dependence. A strong connection has been suggested between the expression of the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) ion channel and the development of inflammatory hyperalgesia. TRPV1 is important for thermal nociception induction, and is mainly expressed on sensory neurons. Recent reports suggest that opioid or TRPV1 receptor agonist exposure has contrasting consequences for anti-nociception, tolerance and dependence. Chronic morphine exposure modulates TRPV1 activation and induces the anti-nociception effects of morphine. The regulation of many downstream targets of TRPV1 plays a critical role in this process, including calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP). Additional factors also include capsaicin treatment blocking the anti-nociception effects of morphine in rats, as well as opioid modulation of TRPV1 responses through the cAMP-dependent PKA pathway and MAPK signaling pathways. Here, we review new insights concerning the mechanism underlying MOR-TRPV1 crosstalk and signaling pathways and discuss the potential mechanisms of morphine-induced anti-nociception, tolerance and dependence associated with the TRPV1 signaling pathway and highlight how understanding these mechanisms might help find therapeutic targets for the treatment of morphine induced antinociception, tolerance and dependence. 相似文献

The effect of pretreatment with a δ opioid receptor antagonist, naltrindole (NTI), on the development of physical dependence on morphine was investigated in mice. Several withdrawal signs, an increase in cortical noradrenaline (NA) turnover and a decrease in dopamine (DA) turnover in the limbic forebrain were observed following naloxone challenge in morphine-dependent mice. Pretreatment with NTI (0.3–5 mg/Kg, S.c.) during chronic morphine treatment dose-dependently suppressed the behavioral and biochemical changes after withdrawal. The blocking effects of NTI suggest that δ opioid receptors may play a significant role in modulating the development of physical dependence on morphine. 相似文献

The effect of intracerebroventricular injection of graded amounts of vasopressin and related peptides on plasma ACTH levels was investigated. Picogram amounts of vasopressin and oxytocin suppressed ACTH levels whereas nanogram amounts of vasopressin resulted in a pronounced increase in plasma ACTH levels. The time course of this stimulatory action was found to be different to that of the inhibitory action. The desglycinamide analogue of vasopressin was less potent in suppressing ACTH release and the C-terminal tripeptide did not affect plasma ACTH levels. However, the C-terminal tripeptide of oxytocin suppressed ACTH release while the desglycinamide analogue was ineffective. Vasotocin and its desglycinamide analogue appeared to be equipotent, although both were less active than vasopressin and oxytocin in this respect. We conclude that the entire vasopressin molecule is needed to suppress ACTH release while oxytocin may exert its inhibitory action through a smaller fragment of the molecule. 相似文献

Effects of various dipeptides on naloxone-precipitated morphine withdrawal were studied in the mouse. Mice were rendered dependent on morphine by implantation of morphine pellets and the withdrawal syndrome was measured by the latency of the onset of stereotyped jumpings. In accordance with previous data, subcutaneous injection of Z-prolyl-D-leucine significantly delayed the onset of morphine withdrawal. The all-L enantiomer of the dipeptide (Z-L-prolyl-L-leucine) did not affect morphine withdrawal in the dose studied. Replacement of L-proline by L-glutamate or L-pyroglutamate (Z-L-glutamyl-L-leucine and L-pyroglutamyl-L-leucine) resulted in dipeptides which were more potent towards morphine withdrawal than Z-prolyl-D-leucine. Z-L-glycyl-L-proline attenuated the morphine withdrawal syndrome more effectively than Z-L-prolyl-D-leucine, but Z-L-leucyl-L-glycine was ineffective in this respect. The data reveal that certain dipeptides—which in their nonprotected forms are normal sequences of endogenous peptides—affect morphine withdrawal more potently than Z-prolyl-D-leucine, a synthetic dipeptide known to attenuate morphine dependence. 相似文献

The possible role of succinic dehydrogenase (SD) in producing physical dependence to morphine by affecting tissue respiration was investigated in Swiss albino mice during the development of morphine tolerance through a period of addiction and naloxone withdrawal therapy. Tolerance and physical dependence were induced by injecting the mice with morphine sulfate subcutaneously at 8-hour intervals, increasing the dose from 10 mg/kg BW every 24 h for 15 days. The animals were considered to be addicted when they were able to tolerate an otherwise lethal dose of 150 mg/kg 3 times a day. Results indicated that succinic dehydrogenase was inhibited throughout the 15-day period of morphine administration and that this effect was greatest in tolerant animals. Increasing the dose and duration of treatment did not cause further decreases in enzyme activity; instead, after 15 days levels of enzyme activity increased in addicted animals compared with tolerant mice. Furthermore, morphine abstinence for 2 days, markedly increased the levels of SD activity, while 6 days of abstinence had little effect. Naloxone withdrawal at each stage was associated with increased SD activity, but the increase was significant only in tolerant mice. 相似文献

Co-administration of dextromethorphan (DM) with morphine during pregnancy and throughout lactation has been found to reduce
morphine physical dependence and tolerance in rat offspring. No evidence was presented, however, for the effect of DM co-administered
with morphine during pregnancy on morphine-induced reward and behavioral sensitization (possibly related to the potential
to induce morphine addiction) in morphine-exposed offspring. Conditioned place preference and locomotor activity tests revealed
that the p60 male offspring of chronic morphine-treated female rats were more vulnerable to morphine-induced reward and behavioral
sensitization. The administration of a low dose of morphine (1 mg/kg, i.p.) in these male offspring also increased the dopamine
and serotonin turnover rates in the nucleus accumbens, which implied that they were more sensitive to morphine. Co-administration
of DM with morphine in the dams prevented this adverse effect of morphine in the offspring rats. Thus, DM may possibly have
a great potential in the prevention of higher vulnerability to psychological dependence of morphine in the offspring of morphine-addicted
mothers. 相似文献

The paper demonstrates induction of antibodies to morphine and neurotransmitters (dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin) in rats treated with intraperitoneal injections of morphine hydrochloride during 2 and 4 weeks in increasing doses. A contribution of such antibodies to the mechanisms of morphine tolerance and formation of physical dependence is considered. 相似文献

The findings from our laboratory indicated that pharmacological manipulations of GABA system modified morphine analgesia, tolerance and physical dependence. Elevating brain levels of GABA by slowing its destruction with aminooxyacetic acid not only antagonized the analgesic action of morphine in both non-tolerant and tolerant mice, but also enhanced the development of tolerance and physical dependence. On the other hand, blockade of postsynaptic sites of GABA receptors by bicuculline resulted in an inhibition of tolerance and dependence development. Administration of 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, an inhibitor of GABA uptake in the neurons, antagonized morphine analgesia in both non-tolerant and tolerant mice. However, it did not modify naloxone precipitated withdrawal jumping. On the contrary, β-alanine, an inhibitor of the GABA uptake process in glial cells, potentiated naloxone precipitated withdrawal jumping in morphine dependent mice, but it had no effect on morphine antinociception in both non-tolerant and tolerant mice. 相似文献

The minimum level of morphine administration necessary to produce physical dependence in rats was investigated. Rats received low doses of morphine (10 mg/kg) intraperitoneally once daily for 1, 3, or 5 days. Naloxone given intraperitoneally 1 hr. after the last morphine injection produced significant withdrawal signs after only three days. 相似文献

The function of the oxytocin receptor system is strongly dependent on steroids as demonstrated by several physiological studies. One key element of this dependence on steroids may be the interaction of cholesterol and the oxytocin receptor. In this study, we show that cholesterol stabilizes the solubilized human oxytocin receptor against thermal inactivation and proteolytic degradation. In the absence of additional cholesterol, the soluble receptor inactivates within minutes. Maximal stabilization of the oxytocin receptor requires a continuous supply with cholesterol from a cholesterol-rich environment. A structure-activity analysis of various cholesterol analogues and their effect on the thermal stability of the oxytocin receptor showed that the stabilizing function of cholesterol was highly specific. The structural requirements of a potent stabilizing steroid are very similar to those necessary to support the high-affinity state of the receptor. Moreover, in the presence of cholesterol, the oxytocin receptor is significantly more stable against alterations of pH value (pH 4-12). The results show that cholesterol acts as a general stabilizer of the oxytocin receptor. 相似文献
