Naloxone
A specific opiate antagonist that has no agonist activity. It is a competitive antagonist at mu, delta, and kappa opioid receptors.
Narcotic Antagonists
Agents inhibiting the effect of narcotics on the central nervous system.
Morphine
The principal alkaloid in opium and the prototype opiate analgesic and narcotic. Morphine has widespread effects in the central nervous system and on smooth muscle.
Receptors, Opioid
Cell membrane proteins that bind opioids and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. The endogenous ligands for opioid receptors in mammals include three families of peptides, the enkephalins, endorphins, and dynorphins. The receptor classes include mu, delta, and kappa receptors. Sigma receptors bind several psychoactive substances, including certain opioids, but their endogenous ligands are not known.
Endorphins
One of the three major groups of endogenous opioid peptides. They are large peptides derived from the PRO-OPIOMELANOCORTIN precursor. The known members of this group are alpha-, beta-, and gamma-endorphin. The term endorphin is also sometimes used to refer to all opioid peptides, but the narrower sense is used here; OPIOID PEPTIDES is used for the broader group.
Enkephalin, Methionine
One of the endogenous pentapeptides with morphine-like activity. It differs from LEU-ENKEPHALIN by the amino acid METHIONINE in position 5. Its first four amino acid sequence is identical to the tetrapeptide sequence at the N-terminal of BETA-ENDORPHIN.
Buprenorphine
A derivative of the opioid alkaloid THEBAINE that is a more potent and longer lasting analgesic than MORPHINE. It appears to act as a partial agonist at mu and kappa opioid receptors and as an antagonist at delta receptors. The lack of delta-agonist activity has been suggested to account for the observation that buprenorphine tolerance may not develop with chronic use.
Receptors, Opioid, mu
A class of opioid receptors recognized by its pharmacological profile. Mu opioid receptors bind, in decreasing order of affinity, endorphins, dynorphins, met-enkephalin, and leu-enkephalin. They have also been shown to be molecular receptors for morphine.
Narcotics
Agents that induce NARCOSIS. Narcotics include agents that cause somnolence or induced sleep (STUPOR); natural or synthetic derivatives of OPIUM or MORPHINE or any substance that has such effects. They are potent inducers of ANALGESIA and OPIOID-RELATED DISORDERS.
Analgesics, Opioid
Compounds with activity like OPIATE ALKALOIDS, acting at OPIOID RECEPTORS. Properties include induction of ANALGESIA or NARCOSIS.
Opioid Peptides
The endogenous peptides with opiate-like activity. The three major classes currently recognized are the ENKEPHALINS, the DYNORPHINS, and the ENDORPHINS. Each of these families derives from different precursors, proenkephalin, prodynorphin, and PRO-OPIOMELANOCORTIN, respectively. There are also at least three classes of OPIOID RECEPTORS, but the peptide families do not map to the receptors in a simple way.
Morphine Dependence
Strong dependence, both physiological and emotional, upon morphine.
Enkephalins
One of the three major families of endogenous opioid peptides. The enkephalins are pentapeptides that are widespread in the central and peripheral nervous systems and in the adrenal medulla.
beta-Endorphin
A 31-amino acid peptide that is the C-terminal fragment of BETA-LIPOTROPIN. It acts on OPIOID RECEPTORS and is an analgesic. Its first four amino acids at the N-terminal are identical to the tetrapeptide sequence of METHIONINE ENKEPHALIN and LEUCINE ENKEPHALIN.
Enkephalin, Leucine
One of the endogenous pentapeptides with morphine-like activity. It differs from MET-ENKEPHALIN in the LEUCINE at position 5. Its first four amino acid sequence is identical to the tetrapeptide sequence at the N-terminal of BETA-ENDORPHIN.
Opioid-Related Disorders
Disorders related or resulting from abuse or mis-use of opioids.
Drug Overdose
Accidental or deliberate use of a medication or street drug in excess of normal dosage.
Receptors, Opioid, kappa
A class of opioid receptors recognized by its pharmacological profile. Kappa opioid receptors bind dynorphins with a higher affinity than endorphins which are themselves preferred to enkephalins.
Substance Withdrawal Syndrome
Physiological and psychological symptoms associated with withdrawal from the use of a drug after prolonged administration or habituation. The concept includes withdrawal from smoking or drinking, as well as withdrawal from an administered drug.
Analgesics
Compounds capable of relieving pain without the loss of CONSCIOUSNESS.
Naltrexone
Derivative of noroxymorphone that is the N-cyclopropylmethyl congener of NALOXONE. It is a narcotic antagonist that is effective orally, longer lasting and more potent than naloxone, and has been proposed for the treatment of heroin addiction. The FDA has approved naltrexone for the treatment of alcohol dependence.
Enkephalin, Ala(2)-MePhe(4)-Gly(5)-
An enkephalin analog that selectively binds to the MU OPIOID RECEPTOR. It is used as a model for drug permeability experiments.
Receptors, Opioid, delta
A class of opioid receptors recognized by its pharmacological profile. Delta opioid receptors bind endorphins and enkephalins with approximately equal affinity and have less affinity for dynorphins.
Morphinans
Compounds based on a partially saturated iminoethanophenanthrene, which can be described as ethylimino-bridged benzo-decahydronaphthalenes. They include some of the OPIOIDS found in PAPAVER that are used as ANALGESICS.
Drug Tolerance
Progressive diminution of the susceptibility of a human or animal to the effects of a drug, resulting from its continued administration. It should be differentiated from DRUG RESISTANCE wherein an organism, disease, or tissue fails to respond to the intended effectiveness of a chemical or drug. It should also be differentiated from MAXIMUM TOLERATED DOSE and NO-OBSERVED-ADVERSE-EFFECT LEVEL.
Pentazocine
The first mixed agonist-antagonist analgesic to be marketed. It is an agonist at the kappa and sigma opioid receptors and has a weak antagonist action at the mu receptor. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1991, p97)
Enkephalin, Leucine-2-Alanine
A delta-selective opioid (ANALGESICS, OPIOID). It can cause transient depression of mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate.
Loperamide
One of the long-acting synthetic ANTIDIARRHEALS; it is not significantly absorbed from the gut, and has no effect on the adrenergic system or central nervous system, but may antagonize histamine and interfere with acetylcholine release locally.
Nalorphine
A narcotic antagonist with some agonist properties. It is an antagonist at mu opioid receptors and an agonist at kappa opioid receptors. Given alone it produces a broad spectrum of unpleasant effects and it is considered to be clinically obsolete.
Levallorphan
An opioid antagonist with properties similar to those of NALOXONE; in addition it also possesses some agonist properties. It should be used cautiously; levallorphan reverses severe opioid-induced respiratory depression but may exacerbate respiratory depression such as that induced by alcohol or other non-opioid central depressants. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p683)
Levorphanol
A narcotic analgesic that may be habit-forming. It is nearly as effective orally as by injection.
Cyclazocine
An analgesic with mixed narcotic agonist-antagonist properties.
Dose-Response Relationship, Drug
The relationship between the dose of an administered drug and the response of the organism to the drug.
Enkephalin, D-Penicillamine (2,5)-
A disulfide opioid pentapeptide that selectively binds to the DELTA OPIOID RECEPTOR. It possesses antinociceptive activity.
Dynorphins
A class of opioid peptides including dynorphin A, dynorphin B, and smaller fragments of these peptides. Dynorphins prefer kappa-opioid receptors (RECEPTORS, OPIOID, KAPPA) and have been shown to play a role as central nervous system transmitters.
Administration, Sublingual
Administration of a soluble dosage form by placement under the tongue.
Oxycodone
A semisynthetic derivative of CODEINE.
Pain
An unpleasant sensation induced by noxious stimuli which are detected by NERVE ENDINGS of NOCICEPTIVE NEURONS.

Injections, Spinal
Introduction of therapeutic agents into the spinal region using a needle and syringe.
Injections, Intraventricular
Injections into the cerebral ventricles.
Fentanyl
A potent narcotic analgesic, abuse of which leads to habituation or addiction. It is primarily a mu-opioid agonist. Fentanyl is also used as an adjunct to general anesthetics, and as an anesthetic for induction and maintenance. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1078)
Heroin Dependence
Strong dependence, both physiological and emotional, upon heroin.
Heroin
A narcotic analgesic that may be habit-forming. It is a controlled substance (opium derivative) listed in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21 Parts 329.1, 1308.11 (1987). Sale is forbidden in the United States by Federal statute. (Merck Index, 11th ed)
Diprenorphine
A narcotic antagonist similar in action to NALOXONE. It is used to remobilize animals after ETORPHINE neuroleptanalgesia and is considered a specific antagonist to etorphine.
Etorphine
A narcotic analgesic morphinan used as a sedative in veterinary practice.
Meperidine
A narcotic analgesic that can be used for the relief of most types of moderate to severe pain, including postoperative pain and the pain of labor. Prolonged use may lead to dependence of the morphine type; withdrawal symptoms appear more rapidly than with morphine and are of shorter duration.

Effect of morphine and naloxone on priming-induced audiogenic seizures in BALB/c mice. (1/1848)

1 Morphine (1-200 mg/kg s.c.) reduced the incidence and prolonged the latency of priming-induced audiogenic siezures in a dose-dependent manner. 2 This effect was reversed by naloxone (1 and 2 mg/kg) although naloxone was itself inactive. 3 This priming-induces seizure model may be useful in the study of tolerance and physical dependence.  (+info)

Modulation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II activity by acute and chronic morphine administration in rat hippocampus: differential regulation of alpha and beta isoforms. (2/1848)

Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II) has been shown to be involved in the regulation of opioid receptor signaling. The present study showed that acute morphine treatment significantly increased both Ca2+/calmodulin-independent and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent activities of CaMK II in the rat hippocampus, with little alteration in the protein level of either alpha or beta isoform of CaMK II. However, chronic morphine treatment, by which rats were observed to develop apparent tolerance to morphine, significantly down-regulated both Ca2+/calmodulin-independent and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent activities of CaMK II and differentially regulated the expression of alpha and beta isoforms of CaMK II at protein and mRNA levels. Application of naloxone or discontinuation of morphine treatment after chronic morphine administration, which induced the withdrawal syndrome of morphine, resulted in the overshoot of CaMK II (at both protein and mRNA levels) and its kinase activity. The phenomena of overshoot were mainly observed in the beta isoform of CaMK II but not in the alpha isoform. The effects of both acute and chronic morphine treatments on CaMK II could be completely abolished by the concomitant application of naloxone, indicating that the effects of morphine were achieved through activation of opioid receptors. Our data demonstrated that both acute and chronic morphine treatments could effectively modulate the activity and the expression of CaMK II in the hippocampus.  (+info)

Reproductive experience and opioid regulation of luteinizing hormone release in female rats. (3/1848)

The objective of the present study was to determine whether reproductive experience that produces shifts in opioid regulation of prolactin secretion and behavioural functions also alters opioid regulation of LH during the oestrous cycle or lactation. In Expt 1 the effect of naloxone administration (i.v.) on LH was compared between age-matched, nulliparous and primiparous, catheterized female rats on dioestrus II. In Expt 2, the effects of multiple reproductive experiences on opiate control of LH were investigated using cyclic, nulliparous and multiparous (three litters) rats. In both experiments, no differences in naloxone-stimulated LH release were found between groups even though multiple reproductive experiences resulted in the prolongation of oestrous cyclicity. In Expt 3, day 8 lactating primiparous rats were administered 2, 5, 10 or 25 mg naloxone kg-1 i.v. The three lowest naloxone doses, but not the 25 mg kg-1 dose, significantly increased LH concentrations. The possible effects of prior reproductive experience on opioid control of LH during lactation were then investigated. Naloxone at 0.5 mg kg-1, but not at 2 mg kg-1 or 10 mg kg-1, stimulated a significantly greater rise in LH in multiparous (two litters) than in primiparous females. Overall, these data indicate that while modest differences were found in naloxone-induced LH responses between multiparous and primiparous animals during lactation, reproductive experience did not significantly alter opioid regulation of LH during subsequent oestrous cycles at the naloxone doses examined. Hence, the effects of reproductive experience on opioid regulation of LH are less pronounced than those previously found for opioid regulation of prolactin and behaviour.  (+info)

Morphine preconditioning attenuates neutrophil activation in rat models of myocardial infarction. (4/1848)

Previous results from our laboratory have suggested that morphine can attenuate neutrophil activation in patients with acute myocardial infarction. To elucidate if morphine preconditioning (PC) has the same effects via activation of neutrophil endopeptidase 24.11 (NEP), we measured serum levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), gp100MEL14 and NEP in adult Wistar rats subjected to ten different protocols (n = 10 for each) at baseline, immediately after and 2 h after morphine PC. All groups were subjected to 30 min of occlusion and 2 h of reperfusion. Similarly, morphine-induced PC was elicited by 3-min drug infusions (100 micrograms/kg) interspersed with 5-min drug-free periods before the prolonged 30-min occlusion. Infarct size (IS), as a percentage of the area at risk (AAR), was determined by triphenyltetrazolium staining. Pretreatment with morphine increased NEP activities (9.86 +/- 1.98 vs. 5.12 +/- 1.10 nmol/mg protein in control group; p < 0.001). Naloxone (mu-opioid receptor antagonist) (4.82 +/- 1.02 nmol/mg protein) and phosphoramidon (NEP inhibitor) (4.66 +/- 1.00 nmol/mg protein) inhibited morphine-activated NEP, whereas glibenclamide (ATP-sensitive potassium channel antagonist) and chelerythrine (protein kinase C inhibitor) had no effects. The ICAM-1 and gp100MEL14 of the third sampling were lowest for those with morphine PC (280 +/- 30 ng/ml and 2.2 +/- 0.7 micrograms/ml; p < 0.001), but naloxone (372 +/- 38 ng/ml and 3.8 +/- 0.9 micrograms/ml) and phosphoramidon (382 +/- 40 ng/ml and 4.2 +/- 1.1 micrograms/ml) abolished the above phenomenon. IS/AAR were definitely lowest for those with morphine PC (24 +/- 7%; p < 0.05). Morphine preconditioning increases NEP activities to attenuate shedding of gp100MEL14 and to ICAM-1 and, thus, provides myocardial protection.  (+info)

Opioidergic modulation of voltage-activated K+ currents in magnocellular neurons of the supraoptic nucleus in rat. (5/1848)

Opioidergic modulation plays an important role in the control of oxytocin and vasopressin release by magnocellular neurons (MCNs) in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus. We have used whole cell patch-clamp recording in acute slices of the supraoptic nucleus (SON) of the hypothalamus to study opioidergic modulation of voltage-dependent K+ currents in MCNs that are involved in release activity. The mu-receptor agonist D-Ala2, N-Me-Phe4, Gly5-ol-enkephalin (DAMGO, 2 microM) affected K+ currents in 55% of magnocellular neurons recorded from. In these putative oxytocinergic cells, DAMGO increased the delayed rectifier current (IK(V)) amplitude by approximately 50% without significant effects on its activation kinetics. The transient A current (IA) was enhanced by DAMGO by approximately 36%. Its inactivation kinetic was accelerated slightly while the voltage dependence of steady-state inactivation was shifted by -6 mV to more negative potentials. All DAMGO effects were blocked by the preferential non-kappa-opioid antagonist naloxone (10 microM). The kappa-opioid agonist trans-(+/-)-3, 4-dichloro-N-methyl-N(2-[1-pyrrolidinyl]cyclohexyl)benzeneacetamide (U50,488; 10 microM) strongly suppressed IK(V) by approximately 57% and evoked a 20-mV hyperpolarizing shift and an acceleration of activation in both, DAMGO-sensitive and -insensitive putative vasopressinergic MCNs. U50,488 reduced IA by approximately 29% and tau of inactivation by -20% in DAMGO-sensitive cells. In contrast, in DAMGO-insensitive cells U50,488 increased IA by approximately 23% and strongly accelerated inactivation (tau -44%). The effects of U50,488 were suppressed by the selective kappa-receptor antagonist nor-binaltorphimine (5 microM). We conclude that mu- and kappa-opioidergic inputs decrease and increase excitability of oxytocinergic MCNs, respectively, through modulation of voltage-dependent K+ currents. In vasopressinergic MCNs, kappa-opioidergic inputs differentially modulate these K+ currents. The modulation of K+ currents is assumed to significantly contribute to opioidergic control of hormone release by MCNs within the supraoptic nucleus and from the axon terminals in the neural lobe.  (+info)

Fentanyl and morphine, but not remifentanil, inhibit acetylcholine release in pontine regions modulating arousal. (6/1848)

BACKGROUND: Opioids inhibit the rapid eye movement (REM) phase of sleep and decrease acetylcholine (ACh) release in medial pontine reticular formation (mPRF) regions contributing to REM sleep generation. It is not known whether opioids decrease ACh release by acting on cholinergic cell bodies or on cholinergic axon terminals. This study used in vivo microdialysis to test the hypothesis that opioids decrease ACh levels at cholinergic neurons in the laterodorsal tegmental nuclei (LDT) and LDT axon terminals in the mPRF. METHODS: Nine male cats were anesthetized with halothane, and ACh levels within the mPRF or LDT were assayed using microdialysis and high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). ACh levels were analyzed in response to dialysis of the mPRF and LDT with Ringer's solution (control), followed by dialysis with Ringer's solution containing morphine sulfate (MSO4) or naloxone. ACh in the mPRF also was measured during either dialysis delivery or intravenous infusion of remifentanil and during dialysis delivery of fentanyl. RESULTS: Compared with dialysis of Ringer's solution, microdialysis with MSO4 decreased ACh by 23% in the mPRF and by 30% in the LDT. This significant decrease in ACh was antagonized by naloxone. MSO4 and fentanyl each caused a dose-dependent decrease in mPRF ACh when delivered by dialysis. Remifentanil delivered by continuous intravenous infusion or by dialysis into the mPRF did not alter mPRF ACh. CONCLUSIONS: Morphine inhibits ACh at the cholinergic cell body region (LDT) and the terminal field in the mPRF. ACh in the mPRF was not altered by remifentanil and was significantly decreased by fentanyl. Thus, MSO4 and fentanyl disrupt cholinergic neurotransmission in the LDT-mPRF network known to modulate REM sleep and cortical electroencephalographic activation. These data are consistent with the possibility that inhibition of pontine cholinergic neurotransmission contributes to arousal state disruption by opioids.  (+info)

Effect of systemic morphine on the responses of convergent neurons to noxious heat stimuli applied over graded surface areas. (7/1848)

BACKGROUND: Stimulus intensity is a major determinant of the antinociceptive activity of opiates. This study focused on the influence of the spatial characteristics of nociceptive stimuli, on opiate-induced depressions of nociceptive transmission at the level of the spinal cord. METHODS: Anesthetized rats were prepared to allow extracellular recordings to be made from convergent neurons in the lumbar dorsal horn. The effects of systemic morphine (1 and 10 mg/kg) were compared with those of saline for thermal stimuli of constant intensity, applied to the area of skin surrounding the excitatory receptive field (1.9 cm2) or to a much larger adjacent area (18 cm2). RESULTS: The responses (mean +/- SD) elicited by the 1.9-cm2 stimulus were not modified by 1 mg/kg intravenous morphine, although they were decreased by the 10-mg/kg dose (to 11+/-4% of control values compared with saline; P < 0.05). In contrast, when the 18-cm2 stimulus was applied, 1 mg/kg intravenous morphine produced a paradoxical facilitation of the neuronal responses (159+/-36% of control values; P < 0.05) and 10 mg/kg intravenous morphine resulted in a weaker depression of the responses (to 42+/-24% of control values; P < 0.05) than was observed with the smaller stimulus. CONCLUSIONS: Doses of systemic morphine in the analgesic range for rats had dual effects on nociceptive transmission at the level of the spinal cord, depending on the surface area that was stimulated. Such effects are difficult to explain in terms of accepted pharmacodynamic concepts and may reflect an opioid-induced depression of descending inhibitory influences triggered by spatial summation.  (+info)

U50,488H-induced internalization of the human kappa opioid receptor involves a beta-arrestin- and dynamin-dependent mechanism. Kappa receptor internalization is not required for mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. (8/1848)

Agonist-promoted internalization of some G protein-coupled receptors has been shown to mediate receptor desensitization, resensitization, and down-regulation. In this study, we investigated whether opioids induced internalization of the human and rat kappa opioid receptors stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells, the potential mechanisms involved in this process and its possible role in activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase. Exposure of the human kappa receptor to the agonists U50,488H, U69,593, ethylketocyclazocine, or tifluadom, but not etorphine, promoted receptor internalization. However, none of these agonists induced significant internalization of the rat kappa opioid receptor. U50, 488H-induced human kappa receptor internalization was time- and concentration-dependent, with 30-40% of the receptors internalized following a 30-min exposure to 1 microM U50,488H. Agonist removal resulted in the receptors gradually returning to the cell surface over a 60-min period. The antagonist naloxone blocked U50, 488H-induced internalization without affecting internalization itself, while pretreatment with pertussis toxin had no effect on U50, 488H-induced internalization. In contrast, incubation with sucrose (0.4-0.8 M) significantly reduced U50,488H-induced internalization of the kappa receptor. While co-expression of the wild type GRK2, beta-arrestin, or dynamin I had no effect on kappa receptor internalization, co-expression of the dominant negative mutants GRK2-K220R, beta-arrestin (319-418), or dynamin I-K44A significantly inhibited receptor internalization. Whether receptor internalization is critical for MAP kinase activation was next investigated. Co-expression of dominant negative mutants of beta-arrestin or dynamin I, which greatly reduced U50,488H-induced internalization, did not affect MAP kinase activation by the agonist. In addition, etorphine, which did not promote human kappa receptor internalization, was able to fully activate MAP kinase. Moreover, U50,488H or etorphine stimulation of the rat kappa receptor, which did not undergo internalization, also effectively activated MAP kinase. Thus, U50,488H-induced internalization of the human kappa opioid receptor in Chinese hamster ovary cells occurs via a GRK-, beta-arrestin-, and dynamin I-dependent process that likely involves clathrin-coated pits. In addition, internalization of the kappa receptor is not required for activation of MAP kinase.  (+info)

NTNU Open: Pharmacokinetics of a new, nasal formulation of naloxoneNTNU Open: Pharmacokinetics of a new, nasal formulation of naloxone
Purpose Nasal naloxone is wanted for bystander administration in opioid overdose and as a needle-free alternative for emergency medical personnel. Epidemiologic studies have indicated a therapeutic effect of bystander administration of low-concentration/high-volume formulations. The objective for this study was to describe the nasal pharmacokinetics of a new high-concentration/low-volume nasal formulation of naloxone. Methods This was an open, randomized triple crossover trial in healthy, human volunteers (n = 12) where two doses of nasal naloxone (0.8 and 1.6 mg) and one intravenous dose (1.0 mg) were compared. Fifteen serum samples were collected before and until 6 h after naloxone administration. Quantification of naloxone was performed by a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. Results Bioavailability was 0.54 (0.45-0.63) for the 0.8 mg and 0.52 (0.37-0.67) for the 1.6 mg nasal naloxone formulation. Maximum concentration levels (Cmax) were 1.45 ng/ml (1.07-1.84) ...

Currently, patients undergoing spinal fusion for scoliosis are routinely given patient controlled analgesia (PCA) for pain control postoperatively. PCA therapy is typically combined with an ultra low dose naloxone infusion because of the established benefit of reduced pruritis and nausea. The investigators hypothesize that using a higher dose naloxone infusion may lead to further improvement in pruritis and nausea and may improve GI function. Improvement in bowel function could lead to faster initiation of oral intake as well as transition to oral pain medication and even decreased length of stay ...

PY - 2010/3/1. Y1 - 2010/3/1. N2 - Rationale: Stimuli that are paired with opioid withdrawal can themselves produce effects similar to withdrawal that might promote relapse. Objective: This study compared precipitated and conditioned withdrawal and tested whether withdrawal is modified by clonidine or morphine. Methods: Morphine-treated rats (10 mg/kg/12 h) received naloxone (3.2 mg/kg) in a novel environment (conditioned stimuli [CS]). Other rats received naloxone in the absence of the CS. Body weight and observable signs were used to measure withdrawal. Results: Naloxone produced weight loss and withdrawal signs in morphine-treated rats. Following pairings of the CS and naloxone, the CS alone had effects similar to naloxone; conditioned withdrawal was greater after three naloxone/CS pairings, as compared to ...

The values of K(B) tended to increase with temperature over the range examined, indicating that the affinity of naloxone for the opioid δ receptor is an inverse function of temperature. Using these data, the thermodynamic quantities ΔG° (change in free energy), ΔH° (change in enthalpy) and ΔS° (change in entropy) were calculated from a vant Hoff plot of In (K(B)) against 1/T. The thermodynamic quantities determined in this study in vivo (ΔG° = -10.59 kcal mol-1, ΔH° = -15.73 ...

Influence of morphine and naloxone on the release of noradrenaline from rat brain cortex slices - Semantic ScholarInfluence of morphine and naloxone on the release of noradrenaline from rat brain cortex slices - Semantic Scholar
In slices of rat brain cortex preincubated with (−)-3H-noradrenaline, the influence of morphine and naloxone on the efflux of tritium was investigated. The spontaneous outflow of tritium was not changed by 10−7-10−5 M morphine and by 10−6-10−4 M naloxone, but was accelerated by 10−4 M morphine. Electrical field stimulation augmented tritium outflow. The overflow evoked per ppulse decreased as the frequency of stimulation was increased from 0.3 to 3 Hz, but remained approximately constant when it was further increased to 10 Hz. At frequencies of 0.3, 1, and 3 Hz, but not at 10 Hz, morphine in concentrations of 10−7-10−5 M depressed the stimulation-induced overflow of tritium. 10−4 M morphine did not influence the overflow induced by stimulation at 0.3 and 1 Hz and increased that evoked by stimulation at 10 Hz. Naloxone (10−6-10−4 M) did not change the response to stimulation. In the presence of 10−4 M naloxone, 10−6 M morphine did not diminish, and 10−5 M morphine even

Reduced-Cost Naloxone Availability Expands (12/19/17)Reduced-Cost Naloxone Availability Expands (12/19/17)
The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) has expanded an agreement that provides the opioid overdose drug, naloxone, to certain organizations at a reduced cost. The agreement with the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) already allowed public entities (law enforcement, first responders, EMS) to purchase naloxone at a reduced rate. However, the agreement did not include other organizations, such as non-profits. Working with the Iowa Attorney Generals Office, IDPH is now able to allow non-profits that receive state funds to use the agreement to purchase naloxone at the reduced rate.. This is a significant step in potentially reducing opioid-related overdoses, said IDPH Opioid Initiatives Director Kevin Gabbert. The usual cost for purchasing naloxone through a pharmacy is around $150. By purchasing through the DAS agreement, the cost is $75.. In an overdose situation, naloxone is given by nasal spray or injection to reverse the opioid-induced slowing of the respiratory system, ...

The New Hope - Solebury School District is committed to the safety and health of all community stakeholders on our campus. The District has obtained Naloxone (Narcan) for each school building as an emergency response medication in the event of an episode of respiratory distress/arrest secondary to a suspected drug overdose. Narcan would be administered under the guidelines established by the PA Department of Health, the prescriptive authority of the district physician and NHSD board policy (see below).. Naloxone hydrochloride (also known as naloxone, NARCAN® or EVZIO®) is a drug that can temporarily stop many of the life-threatening effects of overdoses from opioids. Naloxone can help restore breathing and reverse the sedation and unconsciousness that are common during an opioid overdose.. https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2019-101/pdfs/2019-101-508.pdf.

UI - 000005 AU - Freeman TB AU - Campbell JN AU - Long DM TI - Naloxone does not affect pain relief induced by electrical stimulation in man AB - IN: New York U Medical Ctr, Dept of Neurosurgery LA: English AB: Investigated whether pain relief that resulted from transcutaneous (TNS) or spinal cord electrical stimulation in patients with chronic pain was due to activation of an endogenous opiate-related pain control system. Naloxone (0.4-10 mg, iv) or saline was injected in double-blind fashion into opiate-naive Ss with chronic pain who achieved 30% or greater pain relief with spinal cord stimulation (4 patients) or TNS (9 patients). Ss (aged 14-62 yrs) rated their pain during stimulation and 2, 5, 10, and 15 min after the injection. Two days or more later the procedure was repeated using the alternate agent (naloxone or saline). Naloxone did not decrease the pain relief induced by stimulation, suggesting that the effects of stimulation are probably not mediated by the endogenous opiates. (27 ...

In the present study, naloxone significantly reduced the progression of retinal lesions in DKO mice as visualized clinically and on histopathologic examination. Furthermore, retinal A2E levels in the DKO mice treated with naloxone were significantly lower than in the control nontreated DKO mice. Naloxone also decreased microglia accumulation and activation at the site of retinal degeneration, which might possibly have been mediated, at least in part, by the downregulation of inflammatory molecules NO, TNF-α, and IL-1β, that were observed with treatment (Table 1). The downregulation of these proinflammatory molecules is also demonstrated in the activated microglia in vitro, which is in line with recent studies on primary rat mesencephalon microglia. 22 Naloxone is a nonselective antagonist of opioid receptors. It is a μ-opioid receptor competitive antagonist; the μ3 receptor is linked to NO production and inflammation mechanism. Acting on these receptors, naloxone may well protect NO-induced ...

BackgroundMethamphetamine (METH) as a synthetic psychostimulant is being increasingly recognized as a worldwide problem, which may induce memory impairment. On the other hand, it is well established that naloxone, an opiate antagonist, has some beneficial effects on learning and memory. The present research aimed at evaluating naloxone effects on spatial learning and memory impairment triggered by a neurotoxic regimen of METH in male rats.Materials and MethodsThe animals received the subcutaneous (sc) regimen of METH (4×6 mg/kg at 2-h intervals), intraperitoneal (ip) naloxone (4×1 mg/kg at 2-h intervals), or normal saline at four events. The Nal-METH group of rats received four naloxone injections (1 mg/ kg, ip) 30 min before each METH injection (6 mg/kg, sc) at 2-h intervals. Seven days later, they were evaluated for spatial learning and memory in the Morris Water Maze (MWM) task.ResultsMETH regimen induced hyperthermia, as well as a poor performance, in the acquisition and retention phases

PLA: Aarons LawPLA: Aarons Law
Signed by Governor Pence in April 2015, Aarons Law puts Naloxone into the hands of those who can use it most effectively. Naloxone is an anti-overdose substance that counters the effects of dangerous opiate drugs, such as heroin. Aarons Law allows doctors to prescribe Naloxone to individuals who are able to administer it to an overdose victim. When someones life is on the line, every second counts.. Where can I get Naloxone?. You can get Naloxone through a prescription from your doctor or through a registered Naloxone Entity, which you can find on www.optin.in.gov.. Is Naloxone safe? Yes, Naloxone is a very safe drug. It is not a controlled substance, and its only use is to reverse drug overdose. If you give Naloxone to someone who is not overdosing, it will have no effect. It is impossible to overdose on Naloxone.. How do I administer Naloxone?. Naloxone is available as an intramuscular injection similar to an Epipen. It is also available as a nasal spray, which is less expensive and just as ...

Naloxone overdose antidote saving lives across state ‹ Cardinal Points OnlineNaloxone overdose antidote saving lives across state ‹ Cardinal Points Online
When it comes to treating an opiate overdose, Lieutenant BCI Brent Davison of the New York State Police described the tool that has been saving lives across the state in one word: miraculous.. The tool is Naloxone, or more commonly known as Narcan. Classified as an opioid antagonist, Naloxone is a drug that reverses the effects of opiate overdose. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, Naloxone injection is a liquid that can be injected into a vein, muscle, skin or nasal cavity. The drug is normally given to relieve opiate side effects surgery patients may experience when given certain painkillers. But, in recent years, it has found a new yet similar purpose.. As a result of increasing heroin-related deaths, law enforcement and health services officials all over the state have been trained to use Narcan. This past August, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo announced free Narcan training sessions offered by Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services across the state.. Since the ...

Eight healthy volunteers were studied during a baseline imaging session and during a session in which subjects experienced pain induced by applying capsaicin topically to the dorsal aspect of the left hand. A pain-related decrease in brain μ-OR binding was observed in the contralateral thalamus consistent with competitive binding between [11C]-carfentanil and acutely released endogenous opioid peptides. This decrease varied directly with ratings of pain intensity. ...

AAFS Position Statement on Naloxone - Academy NewsAAFS Position Statement on Naloxone - Academy News
AAFS SYNTHETIC OPIOID AD HOC COMMITTEE REPORT - NALOXONE. July 13, 2017. The American Academy of Forensic Sciences recommends that first responders and forensic service providers involved in the investigation and/or handling of suspected synthetic opioids ensure ready access to naloxone as an antidote to inadvertent opioid overdose. To be most effective, naloxone must be available at the forensic service location and to the personnel who may witness an inadvertent opioid exposure or overdose. Forensic service providers and first responders must also ensure that personnel are trained to recognize the symptoms of opioid overdose and to effectively administer naloxone as part of a comprehensive first aid and emergency response plan.. Background. Synthetic opioid is a generic term given to a group of synthetic chemicals that bind to opioid receptors in the body and produce narcotic effects. Synthetic opioids depress the central nervous system, and exposure to synthetic opioids can cause respiratory ...

Preventing opioid overdose deaths with take-home naloxone | www.emcdda.europa.euPreventing opioid overdose deaths with take-home naloxone | www.emcdda.europa.eu
This publication examines the case for distributing naloxone, an emergency medication, to people who inject opioids such as heroin and to others who might witness an opioid overdose. Through its capacity to reverse opioid overdose, naloxone can save lives if administered in time. This comprehensive review looks at opioid overdose and how naloxone counteracts it, and discusses the circumstances of opioid overdose deaths and the use of naloxone in regular clinical practice. As well as documenting the historical development and spread of take-home naloxone programmes in Europe and beyond, the study looks at the practical side of their implementation, including the training of naloxone recipients in how to recognise and respond to an overdose. Although take-home naloxone is supported by the World Health Organization, the report finds that barriers to its access exist in Europe and considers how the availability of the intervention may be expanded.. ...

Our corporate objective is to develop naloxone nasal spray for the treatment of suspected opioid overdose. Naloxone injection is labeled for intravenous, intramuscular and subcutaneous administration. Naloxone injection has been administered off-label intranasally and found to be effective in reversal of overdose by Emergency Medical Services. National harm-reduction programs have been dispensing take-home naloxone (injection or injection given nasally) to patients and families at high risk of experiencing overdose so that the continuum of care is moved forward in anticipation of EMS arrival. There remains an unmet medical need to have a ready-to-use, unit-dose, disposable, needle-free delivery system for naloxone administration.. ...

The hypothesis that opiate receptors are involved in the cardiovascular pathophysiology of hypovolemic shock was tested by using the opiate receptor antagonist naloxone. Naloxone increased mean arterial pressure, cardiac output, stroke volume and left ventricular dP/dtmax in a canine hemorrhagic shock model. Naloxone treatment also prolonged survival time. All these responses were dose-dependent and were independent of blood reinfusion. It is concluded that endorphins activated by stress act on opiate receptors to bring about some of the cardiovascular abnormalities in hypovolemic shock. ...

Community-Based Opioid Overdose Prevention Programs Providing Naloxone - United States, 2010Community-Based Opioid Overdose Prevention Programs Providing Naloxone - United States, 2010
Drug overdose death rates have increased steadily in the United States since 1979. In 2008, a total of 36,450 drug overdose deaths (i.e., unintentional, intentional [suicide or homicide], or undetermined intent) were reported, with prescription opioid analgesics (e.g., oxycodone, hydrocodone, and methadone), cocaine, and heroin the drugs most commonly involved (1). Since the mid-1990s, community-based programs have offered opioid overdose prevention services to persons who use drugs, their families and friends, and service providers. Since 1996, an increasing number of these programs have provided the opioid antagonist naloxone hydrochloride, the treatment of choice to reverse the potentially fatal respiratory depression caused by overdose of heroin and other opioids (2). Naloxone has no effect on non-opioid overdoses (e.g., cocaine, benzodiazepines, or alcohol) (3). In October 2010, the Harm Reduction Coalition, a national advocacy and capacity-building organization, surveyed 50 programs known ...

Oxycodone/naloxone - WikipediaOxycodone/naloxone - Wikipedia
Oxycodone/naloxone is a combination analgesic drug available as modified-release tablets under the trade names Targin (produced by Mundipharma), Targiniq and Targinact. The oxycodone component is an opioid and is responsible for the pain-relieving effects. Naloxone opposes the effects of opioids but is poorly absorbed into the body when given orally, meaning almost all the dose stays within the gastrointestinal tract and reduces the local side effects from the oxycodone. Constipation was significantly relieved in a 2008 study. The drug was released in 2006 in Germany and is available in some other European countries since 2009. If the drug is used off license by crushing the tablet and dissolving it for injection, it may precipitate severe opiate withdrawal symptoms due to the much higher bioavailability of intravenous naloxone compared to oral naloxone. In simpler terms, since naloxone is an opioid antagonist, it will bind to the opioid receptors in the brain and block the analgesic effect of ...

Effect of Naloxone on the Defective Autonomic Control of Heart Rate in Uraemic Patients | Clinical Science | Portland PressEffect of Naloxone on the Defective Autonomic Control of Heart Rate in Uraemic Patients | Clinical Science | Portland Press
1. The role of endogenous opioids on the reflex cardiovascular control of chronic uraemic patients was investigated.. 2. The opiate antagonist naloxone administered intravenously caused a significant increase in the abnormal Valsalva manoeuvre ratio in nine chronic uraemic patients, but it had no effect in six diabetic patients with normal renal function, whose response to the Valsalva manoeuvre was similar to that of chronic uraemic patients. Naloxone had no effect in eight normal subjects.. 3. The increase in the Valsalva ratio observed in uraemic patients was due to restoration of the parasympathetically mediated reflex bradycardia of the release phase of the manoeuvre.. 4. Naloxone did not modify supine and standing blood pressure and heart rate in any group.. 5. Endogenous opioids may be involved in the defective autonomic control of heart rate in uraemic patients. ...

In addition to classic somatic signs of opiate withdrawal, a number of behavioral measures are known to be sensitive, reliable indices of naloxone-precipitated opiate withdrawal in rats. It has been suggested that some behavioral indices of withdrawal may be more sensitive to precipitation by naloxone than some somatic signs of withdrawal. The purpose of the present study was to permit a quantitative assessment of the relative sensitivity to naloxone of a variety of behavioral and somatic indices of opiate withdrawal. Male Wistar rats were implanted s.c. with either two morphine (each 75 mg of base) or two placebo pellets. No sooner than 3 days after implantation, naloxone dose-response functions were determined with several behavioral paradigms and ratings of a variety of somatic withdrawal signs. In dependent rats, very low (0.004 or 0.01 mg/kg) doses of naloxone produced the following behavioral effects: 1) a reduction in spontaneous locomotor activity, 2) a disruption of schedule-controlled ...

A double blind trial of naloxone in the treatment of acute stroke. | StrokeA double blind trial of naloxone in the treatment of acute stroke. | Stroke
Naloxone has been reported to have potential benefit in the treatment of stroke. We evaluated the effect of naloxone in a double-blind trial conducted with 15 stroke patients whose deficits ranged from 8 to 60 hours in duration. All but one patient sustained a cerebral infarction. Neurologic function was assessed before and five minutes after each of two injections given to each patient in a double-blind fashion. The injections consisted of naloxone (0.4 mg in 3 patients and 4.0 mg in 12 patients) and saline. Prior to the trial, samples of plasma were obtained for determination of immunoreactive beta-endorphin for each patient. Four patients showed minimal improvement following injection of naloxone, while five patients exhibited a slightly greater improvement following saline injection. There were no significant elevations of plasma beta-endorphin among stroke patients. We conclude that naloxone may not have a significant therapeutic role for stroke in the clinical setting. ...

Researchers to Lawmakers: Naloxone Distribution to Prevent Overdose Death is Cost-Effective | Bill of HealthResearchers to Lawmakers: Naloxone Distribution to Prevent Overdose Death is Cost-Effective | Bill of Health
The editorial flags one of the major legal issues that gets in the way of wider naloxone distribution - its status as a prescription drug approved for use by injection. Changing this is a torturous regulatory process. In the short term, though, lawmakers can do a lot to get distribution going where it is needed. As of July of 2012, eight states had passed laws to clearly authorize or otherwise reduce legal barriers to the prescription of naloxone to drug users and other potential good Samaritans. That leaves 42 states where programs may have trouble operating out of concerns related to prescribing a drug for a lay person to administer. LawAtlas covers the law and has examples of the legislative approaches these states have taken.. One more thing: evidence that naloxone distribution looks to be cost-effective ought to motivate lawmakers to consider these programs.

Expression of morphine-conditioned hyperactivity is attenuated by naloxone and pimozide. | PassportExpression of morphine-conditioned hyperactivity is attenuated by naloxone and pimozide. | Passport
The present experiments assessed whether morphine-conditioned hyperactivity could be attenuated by either the opiate antagonist naloxone or the dopamine antagonist pimozide. Both of these antagonists were shown to block the unconditioned hyperactivity induced by 2 mg/kg morphine (Experiment 1). Rats were then conditioned by pairing this dose of morphine repeatedly with a distinctive environment (Experiment 2). Following several drug-environment pairings, rats displayed a hyperactive conditioned response (CR) when exposed to the environment in the absence of the drug. CR expression was counteracted by 1 mg/kg naloxone and was attenuated by pimozide (0.25, 0.33, and 0.4 mg/kg) in a dose-related manner. These findings suggest that the unconditioned and conditioned hyperactive responses produced by morphine may involve similar neuropharmacologic substrates.. ...

About Suboxone®. The FDA approved Suboxone® in October of 2002 for use in the treatment of opioid addiction. Suboxone® is a registered trademark of and manufactured by Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals. Suboxone® is composed of the two active ingredients: buprenorphine and naloxone.. Naloxone is used to block the effect of opioids. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that stimulates opioid receptors but does not produce the same effects as an opioid. In other words it does not produce a euphoric high effect. The combination of these two actives has been shown to be efficacious in managing the treatment of opioid addiction. Suboxone® is most often taken sublingually (dissolved under the tongue). Taken properly it can reduce opioid use, help patients to be successfully managed in an addiction rehabilitation program, and depress the symptoms of opioid withdrawal. Suboxone® is the most commonly prescribed medication that is administered to patients during the maintenance phase of ...

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has made the opioid epidemic a priority, launching a multi-institute effort to find scientific solutions to the crisis. The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is doing its part by getting the word out about the life-saving medication naloxone. Recently, MedlinePlus partnered with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to produce an animation about the treatment. Naloxone might be thought of as an antidote to opioid overdose. It works fast to reverse overdose effects, and its safe and easy to use. Even people untrained in health care can carry and use the naloxone nasal spray or injector-and possibly save a life.. How Naloxone Save Lives is a sharable video that explains how naloxone works, when to use it, and how it is administered. Please feel free to pass this Youtube video along.. ...

Affordable Treatment Alcohol Addiction Recovery: FDA Approves One Naloxone Nasal Spray, But Not TwoAffordable Treatment Alcohol Addiction Recovery: FDA Approves One Naloxone Nasal Spray, But Not Two
Naloxone is a μ-opioid receptor competitive antagonist. When administered the drug blocks those receptors and causes rapid onset of withdrawal symptoms. If given to an overdose victim promptly, the drug can reverse the effects of an overdose - potentially saving a life. Clearly, the national opioid epidemic has been cause for making the life-saving medicine more available and easier to use. Until recently, naloxone was, for the most part, only available in emergency room settings in the form of injection. Naturally, naloxone in injection form limited the reach of the drug, which is why many law enforcement officers and paramedics were permitted to carry naloxone nasal spray kits. However, naloxone was not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used in nasal spray form, despite the fact that administering the drug in an atomized form is easier to use and can be implemented more quickly ...

This donation will go toward purchasing 100 additional naloxone kits for distribution to patrol officers.. SPD officers are on the front line of the opioid crisis, one of the most urgent public health and public safety issues facing Seattle, the Puget Sound region and the nation. Two years ago, SPD bike patrol officers began carrying and administering naloxone, through a generous grant from the Marah Project. To date, bike officers helped reverse 24 potentially deadly overdoses using Naloxone.. This generous gift from P.A.A.R.I will help our Department expand our naloxone program, said Police Chief Carmen Best. Combating opioid addiction will take a collaborative effort, and this is a great example of public and private partnerships, coming together ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Opiate antagonist facilitation of time-dependent memory processes. T2 - Dependence upon intact norepinephrine function. AU - Gallagher, Michela. AU - Rapp, Peter R.. AU - Fanelli, Richard J.. PY - 1985/11/18. Y1 - 1985/11/18. N2 - Post-training administration of opiate antagonists improves retention of recent learning in laboratory animals tested on a variety of tasks. We examined the possibility that this effect of opiate antagonist treatment might be due to release of brain norepinephrine (NE) function from opioid peptide inhibition. The behavioral testing procedure in these experiments consisted of one-trial passive avoidance conditioning. Rats received post-training treatments immediately after the training trial and retention was tested 24 h later. Lesions of the dorsal noradrenergic bundle (DNB) that were induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) were found to prevent the memory enhancing effect of post-training naloxone administration. The memory enhancing effect of naloxone ...

Introduction Death due to opioid overdose was declared a public health crisis in Canada in 2015. Traditionally, patients who have overdosed on opioids that are managed by emergency medical services (EMS) are treated with the opioid antagonist naloxone, provided ventilatory support and subsequently transported to hospital. However, certain EMS agencies have permitted patients who have been reversed from opioid overdose to refuse transport, if the patient exhibits capacity to do so. Evidence on the safety of this practice is limited. Therefore, our intent was to examine the available literature to determine mortality and serious adverse events within 48 hours of EMS treat and release due to suspected rebound opioid toxicity after naloxone administration. ...

Health Canada moves to widen availability of anti-overdose drug Naloxone - iPoliticsHealth Canada moves to widen availability of anti-overdose drug Naloxone - iPolitics
Health Canada is proposing regulatory changes that would fast-track making the anti-opioid drug Naloxone more widely available to counter an increase in opioid overdoses in Canada.. The department is putting an amendment forward to the prescription drug list that would allow for non-prescription use of Naloxone for emergencies outside of a hospital setting.. Naloxone is an injection drug, used in emergency rooms for decades, that reverses the effects of opioids like OxyContin and Fentanyl - legal painkiller drugs similar to heroin and morphine that have seen a marked increased illegal use. Crucially, it can be used to temporarily counteract opioid overdoses.. Increasing access to Naloxone is something that groups like the Canadian Drug Policy Coalition have been asking for as a harm reduction strategy to prevent overdosing. Dr. Eric Hoskins, Ontarios Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, reacted positively on Twitter, praising the move.. ...

Nancy D. Campbell, OD: Naloxone and the Politics of Overdose (MIT Press, 2020) | New Books NetworkNancy D. Campbell, OD: Naloxone and the Politics of Overdose (MIT Press, 2020) | New Books Network
For years, drug overdose was unmentionable in polite society. OD was understood to be something that took place in dark alleys―an ugly death awaiting social deviants―neither scientifically nor clinically interesting. But over the last several years, overdose prevention has become the unlikely object of a social movement, powered by the miracle drug naloxone. In OD: Naloxone and the Politics of Overdose (MIT Press, 2020), Nancy D. Campbell charts the emergence of naloxone as a technological fix for overdose and describes the remaking of overdose into an experience recognized as common, predictable, patterned―and, above all, preventable. Naloxone, which made resuscitation, rescue, and reversal after an overdose possible, became a tool for shifting law, policy, clinical medicine, and science toward harm reduction. Liberated from emergency room protocols and distributed in take-home kits to non-medical professionals, it also became a tool of empowerment.. After recounting the prehistory of ...

The use of peer-based recovery support has grown substantially in the last five years. However, given ongoing high rates of opioid overdose and addiction, another peer-based workforce has not received enough attention: peers who use drugs. Just as there is a long history of peers in recovery supporting peers seeking recovery, there is a similarly long history of drug-using peers helping one another stay safe and alive. This presentation describes a peer-based program that employs people who use drugs to distribute naloxone and sterile injection equipment in Pittsburgh, PA. It reviews basic harm reduction principles, the peer-based program model, and data on program effectiveness.. ...

Underfeeding decreases 14CO2 formation from U14 C-glucose in intact animal uteri. While in ovariectomized rats (25 days), the effect is the opposite. The addition of morphine 10-6 M to the medium does not affect rats fed ad libitum. However, 14CO2 levels increase significantly in intact animals receiving a restricted diet. In ovariectomized ...

As a result of the trainings, the number of agencies adopting the protocol to carry and administer naloxone in Oklahoma has increased by 50%, but further efforts are needed to ensure 100% coverage of naloxone in the state. Next steps include identifying, training, and providing naloxone kits and/or atomizers to emergency medical service agencies that have not been trained on intranasal naloxone administration.. Educating emergency medical personnel about the opioid epidemic and equipping them with a tool to reverse an overdose may reduce opioid-related mortality in Oklahoma. These trainings may also increase the ownership emergency medical personnel feel for the health of their own community. Based on pre- and post-training surveys administered during naloxone trainings, support for the administration of naloxone by emergency medical personnel increased from 71% to 87%, and willingness to administer naloxone to an overdose victim increased from 77% to 91%. As noted by a first responder at a ...

In the event of overdosage (initial signs may include dryness of the skin and mucous membranes, flushing, hyperthermia and tachycardia followed by lethargy or coma, hypotonic reflexes, nystagmus, pinpoint pupils and respiratory depression) gastric lavage, establishment of a patent airway and possibly mechanically assisted respiration are advised.. The narcotic antagonist naloxone may be used in the treatment of respiratory depression caused by narcotic analgesics or pharmacologically related compounds such as MOTOFEN® tablets. When naloxone is administered intravenously, the onset of action is generally apparent within two minutes. Naloxone may be administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly providing a slightly less rapid onset of action but a more prolonged effect.. To counteract respiratory depression caused by MOTOFEN® overdosage, the following dosage schedule for naloxone should be followed:.

Biphasic Effects of Naloxone in the Rats Receiving Morphine Overdose A Place Preference StudyBiphasic Effects of Naloxone in the Rats Receiving Morphine Overdose A Place Preference Study
Downward phase of dose-response morphine converted U shape curve was chosen as a base for investigating the effects of different doses of naloxone (0.05-0.4 mg/Kg) on morphine reward/aversion properties using place preference method. First, male Wistar rats (200-220 g) were received morphine (1-7.5 mg/Kg) for place conditioning and marginal dose of morphine (5 mg/Kg) calculated by GraphPad software. In the next part, the animals received different naloxone challenge doses (0.05-0.4 mg/Kg; IP) on the test day. Animals behavior was monitored using a video camera during the test session. Time spent in each compartment was calculated as the main sign of drug seeking behavior. In addition, numbers of rearing and sniffing as well as locomotion activity for each animal were counted as important dopamine-dependent behavioral signs. More over, the total compartment crossing by each animal as the sign of decision making was also counted. Our results indicated that naloxone showed biphasic effects on the

N2 - Epimeric 6-amino derivatives of naloxone and naltrexone have been synthesized and the configuration at the C-6 chiral center was determined from NMR studies. All of the derivatives possess narcotic antagonist activity in mice, with each of the 6β epimers having greater potency than the corresponding 6α epimers. In vitro binding experiments indicate that the affinities of these epimers parallel their in vivo potencies. Slight antinociceptic properties were observed with three of the four compounds. The naloxone derivatives 3a and 3b appear to be attractive candidates for investigation as long-acting narcotic antagonists in view of their fourfold greater duration of action relative to the other antagonists (1,2, 4a, and ...
