Caffeine place conditioning in rats: comparison with cocaine and ethanolN A Patkina

Eur Neuropsychopharmacol 8:287-91. 1998..The proposed modification of conditioned place preference procedure may be useful for the comparison of rewarding values of different drugs with presumed addictive potential...
Analgesic effect of olipiphate on mouse model of chemical stimulation of peritoneumE E Zvartau
I P Pavlov Medical University, St Petersburg
Bull Exp Biol Med 131:254-6. 2001..Both agents dose-dependently decreased the number of motor reactions caused by the irritant. Olipiphate possessed analgesic activity and efficiency comparable with those of paracetamol, but produced a more long-lasting effect...
Effects of NMDA receptor antagonists on cocaine-conditioned motor activity in ratsA Y Bespalov
Laboratory of Behavioral Pharmacology, Department of Psychopharmacology, Institute of Pharmacology, Pavlov Medical University, 6 8 Lev Tolstoy St, St Petersburg, Russia
Eur J Pharmacol 390:303-11. 2000..These results show that cocaine-conditioned behaviors can be selectively modulated by some, but not all, NMDA receptor antagonists...
Effects of the NMDA receptor antagonist, D-CPPene, on sensitization to the operant decrement produced by naloxone in morphine-treated ratsA Y Bespalov
Department of Psychopharmacology, Valdman Institute of Pharmacology, Pavlov Medical University, St Petersburg, Russia
Behav Pharmacol 12:135-42. 2001..Thus, these results suggest that agonist-induced sensitization to behavioral effects of opioid antagonists may be insensitive to NMDA receptor blockade...
Opioid-NMDA receptor interactions may clarify conditioned (associative) components of opioid analgesic toleranceA Y Bespalov
Department of Psychopharmacology, Valdman Institute of Pharmacology, Pavlov Medical University, 6 8 Lev Tolstoy Str, St Petersburg 197089, Russia
Neurosci Biobehav Rev 25:343-53. 2001..Such 'intra-drug' conditioning hypothesis is well in line with the current experimental evidence but further studies will be needed to verify it directly...
Caffeine withdrawal syndrome in social interaction test in mice: effects of the NMDA receptor channel blockers, memantine and neramexaneI A Sukhotina
Laboratory of Behavioral Pharmacology, Department of Psychopharmacology, Institute of Pharmacology, Pavlov Medical University, St. Petersburg 197089, Russia
Behav Pharmacol 15:207-14. 2004..Both compounds dose-dependently reduced the expression of defensive behaviours while increasing motor activity. These data suggest that NMDA receptor blockade may counteract the acute behavioural effects of caffeine withdrawal...
Effects of mGlu1 receptor blockade on working memory, time estimation, and impulsivity in ratsIrina A Sukhotina
Laboratory of Behavioral Pharmacology, Institute of Pharmacology, Pavlov Medical University, 6 8 Leo Tolstoy Str, St Petersburg, 197089, Russia
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 196:211-20. 2008..Metabotropic glutamate 1 (mGlu1) receptor antagonists were reported to induce cognitive deficits in several animal models using aversive learning procedures...
mGlu1 receptor blockade attenuates cue- and nicotine-induced reinstatement of extinguished nicotine self-administration behavior in ratsOlga A Dravolina
Laboratory of Behavioral Pharmacology, Institute of Pharmacology, Pavlov Medical University, 6 8 Lev Tolstoy Street, St Petersburg 197089, Russia
Neuropharmacology 52:263-9. 2007..Taken together with the previous reports, the present findings further suggest that blockade of mGlu1 receptors may be beneficial for preventing relapse to tobacco smoking in nicotine-dependent individuals...
Interaction of blockers of ionotropic NMDA receptors and metabotropic glutamate receptors in a working memory test in ratsY A Novitskaya
Department of Psychopharmacology, Valdman Institute of Pharmacology, Pavlov St Petersburg State Medical University, St Petersburg, Russia
Neurosci Behav Physiol 40:807-11. 2010..Administration of MTEP (5.0 mg/kg) combined with both solvent and with MK-801 had no significant effects, demonstrating the small or nonexistent involvement of mGlu5 receptors in the mechanisms of working memory...
Effects of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists on reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior by priming injections of cocaine or exposures to cocaine-associated cues in ratsA Y Bespalov
Department of Psychopharmacology, Institute of Pharmacology, Pavlov Medical University, St Petersburg, Russia
Behav Pharmacol 11:37-44. 2000..These data help define the boundaries within which N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists can prevent reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior (e.g. type of antagonist used and reinstatement procedure)...
Overcoming opioid blockade from depot naltrexone (Prodetoxon)E M Kruptisky
St Petersburg Regional Center in Addiction and Psychopharmacology affiliated with Pavlov State Medical University, St Petersburg, Russia
Addiction 102:1164-5. 2007..To describe a situation in which an opioid-dependent patient overcame naltrexone blockade. DESIGN, CASE REPORT, SETTING: Addiction treatment center in St Petersburg, Russia...

Pharmacol Biochem Behav 77:235-43. 2004..Our results illustrate that social experience in a stable group alter mouse sensitivity to the rewarding properties of drugs of abuse and social state should be taken into account in the experiments when social interactions are present...
Effects of nicotinic and NMDA receptor channel blockers on intravenous cocaine and nicotine self-administration in miceElena A Blokhina
Department of Psychopharmacology, Institute of Pharmacology, Pavlov Medical University, 6/8 Lev Tolstoy Street, St. Petersburg 197089, Russia
Eur Neuropsychopharmacol 15:219-25. 2005..Taken together with the previous reports, these results indicate that nicotinic receptor blockers antagonize acute reinforcing effects of cocaine while NMDA receptor blockade may have limited effectiveness...
