abstract

there is growing evidence indicating that neuronal calcium channels play an important role in the mechanism of morphine dependence. in this study, the effects of acute and chronic administration of nitrendipine on naloxone precipitated morphine withdrawal signs were investigated. mice were rendered dependent to morphine by subcutaneous injection of morphine over a period of 5 days. in chronic studies, nitrendipine (25 and 50 mg/kg, i.p.), or vehicle injections were given once a day during the morphine treatment, and the last injection of nitrendipine was given 24 h before the morphine withdrawal. for acute studies, nitrendipine (25 and 50 mg/kg, i.p.) was given 1 h after the last dose of morphine (1 h before naloxone). a single injection of nitrendipine at 25 mg/kg was ineffective in blocking most signs of morphine withdrawal, however, at 50 mg/kg nitrendipine blocked signs such as hair raising, sniffing, diarrhea and number of jumping. the concurrent injections of nitrendipine with morphine prevented most signs of morphine withdrawal. in agreement with previous findings, these results suggest that alterations in voltage-sensitive calcium channels play a role in the adaptations that occur on chronic treatment with morphine.

COMPARISON OF ACUTE AND CHRONIC EFFECTS OF NIFEDIPINE ON NALOXONE-PRECIPITATED MORPHINE WITHDRAWAL IN MICE

Mice were rendered tolerant and dependent to morphine by subcutaneous injection of morphine over a period of 5 days. The effects of acute and chronic administration of dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist nifedipine on the development of tolerance and naloxone-precipitated morphine withdrawal signs were investigated. A single injection of nifedipine proved to be effective in inhibiti...

Suppressive Effects of Rosa Damascena Essential Oil on Naloxone-Precipitated Morphine Withdrawal Signs in Male Mice

This research was done to test the effect of Rosa damascena essential oil on withdrawal signsof naloxone-precipitated morphine in male mice. Morphine dependence was induced by injection(IP) three times daily at doses of 50, 50 and 75 mg/kg, respectively, for 3 days. On day 4,after the last administration of morphine, Rosa damascena essential oil was administered atdifferent concentrations (5, 2...
