BACKGROUND Direct or indirect acting cholinergic muscarinic agonists such as neostigmine, are potent antinociceptives when administered intrathecally (i.t.). This study examines whether spinal neostigmine tolerance and cross-tolerance to spinal morphine occurs. METHODS Rats (32/group) were implanted with miniosmotic pumps delivering either i.t. saline 1 microl h(-1) (S), morphine 10 nmol microl(-1) h(-1) (M), or neostigmine 3 nmol microl(-1) h(-1) (N). Latencies (infrared thermal withdrawal rear paw) were measured daily for 6 days after which four animals from each group were given one i.t. challenge dose of morphine (m) 0.1, 1, 10, or 100 nmol, or neostigmine (n) 0.3, 3, 10, or 30 nmol. RESULTS Neostigmine and morphine-infused animals both developed tolerance to spinal neostigmine, but neostigmine-infused animals showed no significant cross-tolerance to spinal morphine; mean ED(50) nmol (CI 95%) dose-response values were Sn 2.6 (1.9-3.5), Mn 15.6 (9.9-24.6)*, Nn 18.7 (11.7-29.8)*, Sm 0.7 (0.4-1.1), Nm 1.2 (0.8-2.0), Mm 152 (50-461)* (*significance vs saline infused control group). CONCLUSION Thus, unidirectional cross-tolerance from morphine to neostigmine was evident. Previous studies suggest morphine has a cholinergic mechanism of action partially accounting for its antinociceptive effect, which may explain this observed unidirectional cross-tolerance.

Changes in beta 1 and beta 2 integrin genes expression in rat lumbar spinal cord is supportive of the inhibitory effect of chronic pain on the development of tolerance to morphine analgesia

Introduction: In order to study the alterations of beta 1 and 2 integrins mRNA level in rat lumbar spinal cord following the induction of chronic pain and its effect on the development of tolerance to morphine analgesia, we examined the level of expression of these genes in the presence of chronic pain, which is an inhibitor of morphine tolerance. We used induction of chronic pain alone and ...

Association of morphine-induced analgesic tolerance with changes in gene expression of GluN1 and MOR1 in rat spinal cord and midbrain

Objective(s): We aimed to examine association of gene expression of MOR1 and GluN1 at mRNA level in the lumbosacral cord and midbrain with morphine tolerance in male Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: Analgesic effects of morphine administrated intraperitoneally at doses of 0.1, 1, 5 and 10 mg/kg were examined using a hot plate test in rats with and without a history of 15 days morphine (10 mg...

Possible relevance of tolerance to analgesic effect of morphine due to chronic inflammatory pain and the role of lumbar spinal cord in this interaction

It has been reported that morphine tolerance does not develop in the presence of chronic pain. Therefore, this study was conducted to find out whether chronic inflammatory pain is able to eliminate or attenuate the developed tolerance to analgesic effect of morphine and also to investigate the role of lumbar spinal cord as a candidate site for this interaction. Tolerance was induced in adult ma...

تاثیر نئوستیگمین اینتراتکال در کنترل درد موضع عمل پس از جراحی دیسک کمر بیمارستان امام، 80-1379

Introduction: As spinal cholinergic receptors exhibit an action against somatic pain, this effect could be potentiated by intrathecal injection of cholinesterase inhibitor-neostigmine. This study was designed to evaluate the role of interathecal neostigmine on local back pain relief after single level lumbar disc surgery. Methods and Materials: In an interventional-expremental study (Imam Khome...

GABAB receptors within the central nucleus of amygdala may involve in the morphine-induced incentive tolerance in female rats

Objective(s): Central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) is the most important region for morphine-induced reward, and GABAergic system plays an important role on morphine reinforcement. The influence of CeA administration of GABAB receptor agonist and antagonist on the expression and acquisition of morphine-induced incentive tolerance using conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm was investigated i...
