The NMDA Receptor antagonists, LY274614 and MK-801, and the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, NG-nitro-L-arginine, attenuate analgesic tolerance to the mu-opioid morphine but not to kappa opioids
Abstract
Once daily s.c. administration of 5 mg/kg morphine, a mu-opioid agonist, or U50488H (U50), a kappa 1-opioid agonist, for 5 days in male CD-1 mice results in a 2-3-fold shift to the right of the respective analgesic (tail flick) dose-response curves, indicating the development of tolerance. Concurrent s.c. administration of the competitive NMDA receptor antagonist, LY274614 (LY), at 24 mg/kg/24 h infusion (osmotic pump) or 6 mg/kg i.p. once daily attenuates the development of morphine tolerance, when the response to saline plus morphine is compared on day 5 with LY plus morphine. Using this paradigm, once daily administration of either the non-competitive NMDA antagonist, MK-801, at 0.3 mg/kg i.p. or the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, NG-nitro-L-arginine (NorArg), at 1 mg/kg i.p. twice daily attenuated the development of morphine tolerance. None of these drugs modify the tail-flick response or alter the ED50 for morphine. In contrast, co-administration of LY, MK-801 or NorArg, as above, failed to attenuate the development of tolerance to U50 or to the kappa 3-opioid agonist, naloxone benzoylhydrazone (NalBzoH). These results suggest that mu-opioid tolerance but not kappa 1- or kappa 3-opioid tolerance involves the mediation of NMDA receptors and the nitric oxide system.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
