A comparison in mice of naloxone and nalorphine as antagonists to neuroleptanalgesic drugs.

چکیده
The effectiveness of naloxone and nalorphine in antagonizing the effects of fentanyl and droperidol on the hot plate reaction time and the respiratory rate of the mouse has been compared. Naloxone was superior to nalorphine, being a more effective antagonist, and was also free from significant agonist effects. However, neither antagonist was completely effective against the respiratory rate depression produced by combinations of fentanyl and droperidol. It is suggested that the duration of the antagonist effects of naloxone are shorter against respiratory depression than against analgesia.

In the present study, interactive effects of D1 and D2 dopamine receptors antagonists and different periods of lithium pretreatment on morphine dependence in mice have been investigated. This study was designed to investigate whether the hypothesis that lithium and dopaminergic mechanisms via their effects on phosphoinositide pathways and calcium flux could influence morphine withdrawal respons...

In the present study, interactions of dopamine receptor agonists and antagonists with water swimming stress (WSS) on naloxone-induced jumping in morphine-dependent mice were examined. Mice were rendered dependent as described in the methods section. The opioid receptor antagonist, naloxone (1 mg/kg), was injected to elicit jumping (as a withdrawal sign). The first group exposed to WSS in the pr...

IT HAS BEEN XaEt'ORTED that, when administered alone, the hvo clinically available narcotic antagonists, nalorphine hydrochloride (Nalline) 1-7 and levallorphan tartrate, 8-1~ have respiratory and circulatory effects similar to those of narcotics. When a third potent narcotic antagonist, naloxone hydrochloride, became available for experimental use, it seemed worthwhile to compare the respirato...
