129-199               1783-1841




                    1817-1884
Widespread use of morphine in US between
                      1865-1906

                                   Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was
                                    an indispensable aid to mothers and
                                   child-care workers. Containing one
                                   grain (65 mg) of morphine per fluid
                                   ounce, it effectively quieted restless
                                   infants and small children. It probably
                                   also helped mothers relax after a hard
                                   day's work. The company used various
                                   media to promote their product, including
                                   recipe books, calendars, and trade cards
                                   such as the one shown here from 1887 (A
                                   calendar is on the reverse side.).

History
In the following years, Heroin was a drug marketed by Bayer as
a cough syrup without the nasty side effects of morphine.

Knock-out
• Knock-out: animal with         Genotype     Response
  gene made inoperative
• Allele: alternative forms of   +/+          Full
  gene                           +/-          Partial
• Diploid: organism with

•      Different opiate receptor (OR)
       knock-outs were tested
•      Male and female mice were placed
       on hot plate and time until jumping
       was recorded.
•      Filled Star: p < .05 sex difference
       within genotype (e.g. 1 vs. 2)
•      Open Star: p < .05 genotype
       difference within sex (e.g. 1 vs. 3)
•      What do you conclude?

KO Example                              A



•      Some evidence for sex difference
       A,D vs. B,C.
•      Mu opiate receptor is important for             B
       thermal pain (males).
•      Other receptors also play a role in
       females.

Dopamine & Behavior




Mice of different strains: C57 (black), 129SV (white), and DBA2 (grey) received 3 mg/kg
of morphine or saline (arrows). Motor-activity (left) and dopamine in the striatum (right)
was recorded.
                                                   Murphy et al. J Neurochem (2001) 79, 626-635.
Naltrexone

•    The opiate antagonist
    naltrexone (5 ng/kg)
    blocks the conditioned
    place preference to
    morphine (5 mg/kg).
•   Conditioned Place Preference
    (CPP)
     – Pretest: Drug Treatment
     – Test: no Drug, animals
       choose whether to spend
       time in environment
       associated with drug
       injections

Codeine Addiction
             2D6
• Codeine -----> Morphine
• Fluoxetine inhibits 2D6
• Will fluoxetine help
  codeine addicts reduce
  their use?
• All groups reduced
  codeine intake by
                          Daily dose of codeine in people that received
  >40%.                   counseling and fluoxetine (circles), quinidine
                                         (triangles), or placebo (squares).



Fernandes et al. (2002). J Clin Psychopharm, 22, 326-329.
Opiate Addiction Therapies
• Narcotics Anonymous: 12 step program,
  limited effectiveness
• Methadone: long-acting opiate agonist
  (oral)
• LAAM: L-alpha-acetyl-methadol: longer
  acting opiate agonist
Tx: Methadone
• Pill form used to
  prevent opiate
  withdrawal
• Pros: limits use of
  other opiates
• Cons: philosophical

Neuropharmacology: Opiates

  • 3. Terminology • Opiate: family of substances • Narcotic: class of drugs including opiates • Opioid: family receptors • Analgesics: drugs that decrease pain without unconsciousness • Anesthetic: drugs that decrease pain with unconsciousness • Naloxone (Narcan): short acting opioid antagonist • Naltrexone: long-acting opioid antagonist
  • 4. History 129-199 1783-1841 1817-1884
  • 5. Widespread use of morphine in US between 1865-1906 Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was an indispensable aid to mothers and child-care workers. Containing one grain (65 mg) of morphine per fluid ounce, it effectively quieted restless infants and small children. It probably also helped mothers relax after a hard day's work. The company used various media to promote their product, including recipe books, calendars, and trade cards such as the one shown here from 1887 (A calendar is on the reverse side.). Source: Prof. Anagnostaras, UCSD

Origin Chemistry Schedule Morphine Opium II (II-III) poppy Felix Hoffman, Bayer Acetyl=OCOH3 Heroin I Production in 1898 OH to Acetyl Diacetylmorphine Synthesized in 1916, H to OH Oxycodone Oxycontin produced in II (II-IV) OH to =O 1995 Codeine Identified in 1832? -OH to 0CH3 II Methylmorphine (III-IV)
  • 7. History In the following years, Heroin was a drug marketed by Bayer as a cough syrup without the nasty side effects of morphine. Source: Prof. Anagnostaras, UCSD

  • 15. More terminology • Pro- larger precursor proteins (peptides) • Protease- enzyme that cut propeptide
  • 17. Knock-out • Knock-out: animal with Genotype Response gene made inoperative • Allele: alternative forms of +/+ Full gene +/- Partial • Diploid: organism with -/- Absent two sets of genes for each trait C57 Mouse • Homozygote: +/+ or -/- • Heterozygote: +/-
  • 18. KO Example 1 2 3 4 • Different opiate receptor (OR) knock-outs were tested • Male and female mice were placed on hot plate and time until jumping was recorded. • Filled Star: p < .05 sex difference within genotype (e.g. 1 vs. 2) • Open Star: p < .05 genotype difference within sex (e.g. 1 vs. 3) • What do you conclude? Martin, M. (2003). Eur J. Neurosci 17, 701-708.
  • 19. KO Example A • Some evidence for sex difference A,D vs. B,C. • Mu opiate receptor is important for B thermal pain (males). • Other receptors also play a role in females. C D Martin, M. (2003). Eur J. Neurosci, 17, 701-708.

  • 23. Dopamine & Behavior Mice of different strains: C57 (black), 129SV (white), and DBA2 (grey) received 3 mg/kg of morphine or saline (arrows). Motor-activity (left) and dopamine in the striatum (right) was recorded. Murphy et al. J Neurochem (2001) 79, 626-635.
  • 24. Naltrexone • The opiate antagonist naltrexone (5 ng/kg) blocks the conditioned place preference to morphine (5 mg/kg). • Conditioned Place Preference (CPP) – Pretest: Drug Treatment – Test: no Drug, animals choose whether to spend time in environment associated with drug injections Olmstead et al. (2005). Psychopharm, 181, 576-81.
  • 25. Codeine Addiction 2D6 • Codeine -----> Morphine • Fluoxetine inhibits 2D6 • Will fluoxetine help codeine addicts reduce their use? • All groups reduced codeine intake by Daily dose of codeine in people that received >40%. counseling and fluoxetine (circles), quinidine (triangles), or placebo (squares). Fernandes et al. (2002). J Clin Psychopharm, 22, 326-329.
  • 26. Opiate Addiction Therapies • Narcotics Anonymous: 12 step program, limited effectiveness • Methadone: long-acting opiate agonist (oral) • LAAM: L-alpha-acetyl-methadol: longer acting opiate agonist
  • 27. Tx: Methadone • Pill form used to prevent opiate withdrawal • Pros: limits use of other opiates • Cons: philosophical
