dc.description.abstract | Clonidine, an alpha2 adrenoreceptor agonist, is used to treat opiate dependent individuals who are experiencing the signs and symptoms of withdrawal. Changes in the apparent number of alpha2 adrenoreceptors in specific areas of the rat brain have been observed after chronic morphine administration. In the present study, the effects of chronically administered morphine sulfate upon alpha2 adrenoreceptors were compared to those of UM-1072, (+/-)-5,9-alpha-dimethyl-2-hydroxy-2-tetrahydro-furfuryl-6,7-benzomorphan HCl, a "kappa" agonist which does not produce typical morphine-like dependence. The maximum number of specific binding sites (Bmax) and dissociation constants (KD's) for 3H-clonidine were measured with neural membranes isolated from saline or drug-treated rats. Rats were injected with saline, morphine or UM-1072, i.p., every 8 hr for 14 days. Doses of morphine ranged from 10 mg/kg, t.i.d., on the first three days to 100 mg/kg, t.i.d., on the last two days. Doses of UM-1072 covered a similar range. In control experiments, the Bmax's for specific binding of 3H-clonidine were (in fmoles/mg protein): hypothalamus, 142 +/- 7; amygdala, 141 +/- 3; brainstem, 70 +/- 2; parietal cortex, 130 +/- 4; hippocampus, 94 +/- 2; and caudate nucleus, 62 +/- 3. After chronic morphine treatment, the Bmax's were decreased significantly in all areas except the hippocampus. After chronic UM-1072 treatment, the Bmax's were decreased significantly in all areas studied. Neither treatment altered appreciably the KD's for 3H- clonidine. This study suggests that "mu" and "kappa" agonists might have similar actions upon noradrenergic systems in the brain. | en_US |
