Stereoselective mu- and delta-opioid receptor-related antinociception and binding with (+)-thebaineM D Aceto
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, School of Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth Univeristy, Richmond 23298 0613, USA
Eur J Pharmacol 365:143-7. 1999..75+/-0.01 microM). Opioid-induced antinociception associated with unnatural thebaine raises the possibility of additional mu- and delta-opioid receptor sites...
Dihydroetorphine: physical dependence and stereotypy after continuous infusion in the ratM D Aceto
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, School of Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA 23298 0613, USA
Eur J Pharmacol 387:31-7. 2000..Although many reported molecular events and dependence studies suggest otherwise, dihydroetorphine's propensity to produce physical dependence, an important determinant of opioid abuse, is real...
Spontaneous and precipitated withdrawal with a synthetic cannabinoid, WIN 55212-2M D Aceto
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, School of Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond 23298 0613, USA
Eur J Pharmacol 416:75-81. 2001..Anandamide, which showed little, if any, physical dependence potential, behaved atypically. Possible implications regarding pharmacotherapeutic and human abuse issues are discussed...
Antipodal alpha-N-(methyl through decyl)-N-normetazocines (5,9 alpha-dimethyl-2'-hydroxy-6,7-benzomorphans): in vitro and in vivo propertiesE L May
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Medical College of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond 23298 0613
J Med Chem 37:3408-18. 1994..The (+)-butyl through (+)-octyl homologs were essentially equipotent with, or more potent than, (+)-pentazocine at the sigma receptor. Only the (+)-H and (+)-methyl homologs had high affinity (< 0.05 microM) at PCP binding sites...
Etorphines: mu-opioid receptor-selective antinociception and low physical dependence capacityM D Aceto
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Medical College of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond 23298 0613, USA
Eur J Pharmacol 338:215-23. 1997..The results suggest that these atypical opioids may be useful in the clinical treatment of pain and opiate drug abuse...
Antinociceptive and pharmacological effects of metanicotine, a selective nicotinic agonistM I Damaj
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Medical College of Virginia of Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia, USA
J Pharmacol Exp Ther 291:390-8. 1999..Thus, metanicotine and related nicotinic agonists may have great potential for development as a new class of analgesics...
Cocaine-induced rausch: overt behaviour and plasma concentrations in rhesus monkeysJ J Saady
Department of Pathology, Medical College of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond 23298 0613
Eur J Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 19:41-6. 1994..The results showed dose-response relationships for both plasma concentrations of cocaine and for the total number of overt behavioural signs. The plasma concentrations were in the range reported for human cocaine abusers...
