Internalisation of the mu opioid receptor from the surface of cells is generally achieved by receptor occupancy with agonist ligands of high efficacy. However, in many situations the potent analgesic morphine fails to promote internalisation effectively and whether there is a direct link between this and the propensity for the sustained use of morphine to result in both tolerance and dependence...
Concurrent use of cocaine and heroin is a major public health issue with no effective relapse prevention treatment currently available. To this purpose, a combination of buprenorphine and naltrexone, a mixed very-low efficacy mu-opioid receptor agonist/kappa-opioid receptor antagonist/nociceptin receptor agonist, was investigated. The tail-withdrawal and the conditioned place preference (CPP) a...
Hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons release the endogenous opioid beta-endorphin and POMC neuron activity is inhibited by opioids, leading to the proposal that beta-endorphin acts to provide feedback inhibition. However, both intrinsic properties and synaptic inputs contribute to the regulation of POMC neurons such that attributing an autoregulatory role to opioids must include cons...
Systemic administration of γ-amino-butyric acid type A (GABA-A) and benzodiazepine receptor agonists has been reported to block the development of locomotor sensitization to amphetamine. Here, we investigated whether the non-anesthetic noble gas argon, shown to possess agonistic properties at these receptors, may block the acquisition of amphetamine-induced locomotor sensitization and mu opioid...
(2014) A non-rewarding, non-aversive buprenorphine/naltrexone combination attenuates drug-primed reinstatement to cocaine and morphine in rats in a conditioned place preference paradigm. This version is made available in accordance with publisher policies. Please cite only the published version using the reference above. ABSTRACT Concurrent use of cocaine and heroin is a major public health iss...
Modification of the C-1 ketone of salvinorin A (2a) produces analogues with opioid antagonist properties. Of particular significance is the finding that 1-deoxo-1,10-dehydrosalvinorin A (11a) is a moderately potent antagonist at all three opioid receptor subtypes, and that herkinorin (2b), a mu agonist, is converted to a weak antagonist by removal of the C-1 ketone (3b and 11b). These observati...
BACKGROUND Endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 are endogenous peptides that are highly selective for mu-opioid receptors. However, studies of their functional efficacy and selectivity are controversial. In this study, we systematically compared the effects of intrathecal (i.t.) administration of endomorphin-1 and -2 on nociception assays and G protein activation with those of [d-Ala(2),N-Me-Phe(4),...
We have previously reported dual effects of mu-opioids on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-receptor-mediated synaptic events in the hippocampal dentate gyrus: an indirect facilitating effect via suppression of GABAergic interneurons (disinhibition) and a direct inhibitory effect in the presence of gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABA(A)) antagonists. The cellular mechanism underlying the inhibitory effec...
Chronic infusion of morphine to guinea pigs produced selective changes in mu agonist binding properties in cerebrocortical membrane preparations. Employing the mu-selective opioid agonist [D-Ala2,MePhe4,Gly-ol5]enkephalin (DAMGO) in direct binding studies and in competition of labeled antagonist binding, we found that the major changes were a decrease in the number of sites with high affinity f...
