    Notes: Abstract Lever-pressing behavior of two species of macaque, the rhesus macaque (M. mulatta) and the pigtail macaque (M. nemestrina) was maintained by intravenous injection of codeine, etorphine, or cocaine. Monkeys responded under a fixed-ratio 30 timeout 600 s schedule of drug injection during two daily experimental sessions. Drug-maintained behavior was studied under two access conditions. Under the first condition, selected doses of codeine or cocaine were available for ten consecutive sessions. Under the second condition, responding was maintained by 0.32 mg/kg codeine or 0.32 mg/kg cocaine, and saline and selected doses of codeine, etorphine, and cocaine were substituted during single experimental sessions. Performance varied with drug and injection dose, access condition, and macaque species. For all three drugs, response rate increased and then decreased as injection dose increased. Maximal rates were maintained by 0.10–0.32 mg/kg codeine, 0.0003–0.001 mg/kg etorphine, and 0.10–0.32 mg/kg cocaine. A cocaine dose of 0.32 mg/kg maintained higher rates than any dose of codeine or etorphine, and maintained higher rates when available during consecutive sessions than when substituted for codeine for a single session. Codeine maintained similar rates under all access conditions. The pigtail macaques had short catheter lives, did not readily acquire codeine-maintained responding, and displayed lower rates of drug-maintained lever pressing than the rhesus macaques.

    Notes: Abstract dl-Ethylketazocine (EKC, 0.01 mg/kg) and saline were established as discriminative stimuli for food-maintained responding in macaque monkeys. Thirty consecutive presses on a right or left lever were reinforced with food, contingent on whether EKC or saline were administered before the session. For tests of antagonism, naltrexone, or UM 979 [(l)-5,9-alpha-dimethyl-2-(3-furylmethyl)-2′-hydroxy-6,7-benzomorphan] was administered concomitantly with EKC,dl-cyclazocine, or nalorphine. Both antagonists blocked completely the EKC discriminative stimulus. The antagonism of the stimulus and rate-altering effects of EKC was surmountable, with considerable intersubject variability in the magnitude of the EKC dose increase required to overcome the blockade. Cyclazocine and nalophine, mixed agonist-antagonist opioids that share stimulus properties with EKC, were also susceptible to antagonism. Naltrexone antagonized completely the EKC stimulus effects of nalorphine; naltrexone and UM 979 antagonized completely the EKC stimulus effects of cyclazocine. Naltrexone antagonism of the cyclazocine stimulus was not surmountable, due to a lack of antagonism of the rate-decreasing effects of high cyclazocine doses.

    Notes: Abstract Morphine-amphetamine and morphine-naltrexone interactions were examined in three groups of White Carneaux pigeons (n=3), which were trained in a twochoice drug discrimination procedure under a FR-30 schedule of food reinforcement using 3.2 mg/kg morphine and saline as discriminative stimuli. Once stimulus control was acquired by these initial training stimuli, the training doses of morphine were gradually changed to 1.0 mg/kg for group A and to 10 mg/kg for group C. The three groups differed in the minimum dose required for stimulus control and the drugs to which the training stimulus generalized. Stimulus generalization to amphetamine was inversely related to training dose. Amphetamine potentiated the discriminative stimulus properties of morphine. Naltrexone blocked the discriminative stimulus properties of morphine to varying degrees, which appeared to be limited by the training dose and the rate-suppressing effects of naltrexone when administered alone. Challenging the morphine stimulus with amphetamine resulted in a qualitatively similar blockade. This blockade was a direct function of the morphine training dose. It is argued that MS-AMP interactions result in perceptual masking of the MS stimulus, which can be differentiated from pharmacological antagonism by NTX. Two other challenge drugs, ketamine, and sodium pentobarbital, did not alter stimulus control by morphine.

    Notes: Abstract Two experiments evaluated whether termination of a continuous infusion of naltrexone altered sensitivity to the rate-suppressing or discriminative stimulus effects of morphine in rats. An 8-day infusion of saline or doses of 3, 10, or 18 mg/kg/day naltrexone did not alter rates of lever pressing maintained under fixed-ratio 30 schedules of food delivery. A dose of 10 mg/kg/day naltrexone produced insurmountable antagonism of the rate-suppressing and analgesic effects of morphine. The ED50 of morphine for rate suppression decreased by 2-fold 1 day after termination of the 8-day infusion of 10 or 18 mg/kg/day naltrexone. The ED50 of morphine returned to initial values within 8 days. Termination of infusion of either saline or 3 mg/kg/day naltrexone did not alter the ED50 of morphine. Changes in morphine stimulus control were evaluated in rats trained to discriminate saline and 3.2 mg/kg morphine under fixed-ratio 15 schedules of food delivery. The ED50 of morphine for stimulus control or rate suppression decreased by 2-fold 1 day after termination of an 8-day infusion of 18 mg/kg/day naltrexone. The ED50 of morphine for rate suppression returned to initial values within 3 days; that for stimulus control, within 5 days. Thus, termination of exposure to high doses of naltrexone produced brief changes in sensitivity to the rate-altering and discriminative stimulus effects of morphine that parallel reported changes in sensitivity to the analgesic and lethal effects of morphine.

    Notes: Abstract The discriminative stimulus properties of morphine sulfate (MS) and their alteration by naltrexone (NTX) and d-amphetamine (AMP) challenges were examined in a quantitative dose 1, dose 2, and saline (SAL) drug discrimination task utilizing 1.8 mg/kg MS, 10 mg/kg MS, and SAL as discriminative stimuli under a fixed-ratio 30 schedule of food-maintained behavior in two groups of White Carneaux pigeons. Group A (Gp A) (n=6) subjects (Ss) were initially experimentally-and drug-naive, whereas group B Ss (n=4) were originally trained in a two-choice MS versus SAL discrimination task, and had a long behavioral and drug history. Significant differences were found in (1) number of sessions to criterion (STC) (group B greater than group A); (2) group A Ss generalized both NTX and AMP to SAL, whereas group, B Ss generalized AMP to the low dose (1.8 mg/kg) MS stimulus; and (3) in drug interaction test sessions, the high dose MS stimulus (10 mg/kg) in group A was unmodified by a range of challenge AMP doses (0.32 to 3.2 mg/kg). In contrast, group B Ss exhibited a shift to the low dose or SAL-appropriate keys when the same high dose MS stimulus was challenged by moderate doses of AMP. Group A and group B were similar in their pattern and distribution of responses when tested with various doses of MS, and also when challenge tests of the high dose MS stimulus were made with NTX. Qualitative generalization tests with the opiate agonist methadone suggested that methadone was more potent than MS in producing the discriminative stimulus properties learned under the MS stimulus conditions. It is suggested that the three-choice dose 1, dose 2, SAL discrimination procedure is a viable model to test agonist and antagonist relationships.

    Notes: Abstract Experiments in a rat tail-withdrawal assay tested the hypothesis that the magnitude and pattern of antagonism of μ opiate agonists by the insurmountable μ opioid antagonist clocinnamox are inversely related to agonist efficacy. In addition, these experiments examined whether this antagonism could be quantified to yield apparent affinity and efficacy estimates for the pharmacological characterization of five opiate agonists. Etonitazene, etorphine, morphine, buprenorphine, and GPA 1657 produced dose-dependent increases in tail-withdrawal latency until 100% maximum possible effect (%MPE) was obtained. Morphine required a higher dose of clocinnamox for a 50% reduction in maximal antinociceptive effect than did buprenorphine or GPA 1657. In contrast, no dose of clocinnamox tested decreased the%MPE for etonitazene or etorphine. These data suggest a rank order of relative efficacy of etonitazene ≥ etorphine 〉 morphine ≥ GPA 1657 ≥ buprenorphine. Similarly, numerical analysis of these data yielded the following apparent affinity and efficacy estimates: etonitazene (0.38 mg/kg, 128); etorphine (0.68 mg/kg, 125); morphine (50 mg/kg, 38), GPA 1657 (6.6, 39); and buprenorphine (0.042 mg/kg, 2.2). These data illustrate that in vivo affinity and efficacy estimates for a number of agonists are remarkably similar across different methods of analysis and are useful for drug classification.

    Notes: Abstract Experiments assessed the development of tolerance to morphine stimulus control during treatment with selected maintenance doses of morphine. Separate groups of rats were trained to discriminate saline and either 3.2 mg/kg or 5.6 mg/kg morphine under fixed-ratio schedules of food delivery. Dose-response functions for generalization of morphine stimulus control were determined before, during, and after repeated treatment with selected doses of morphine. Similar experiments were performed with repeated pentobarbital treatment in order to assess the pharmacological selectivity of tolerance. Repeated treatment with saline, 3.2 mg/kg morphine, or twice daily injections of 17.8 mg/kg pentobarbital produced no tolerance to morphine stimulus control. In contrast, treatment with daily injections of 10 mg/kg or twice daily injections of 10 or 17.8 mg/kg morphine produced a dose-dependent increase in the dose of morphine required for stimulus control. The magnitude of tolerance to morphine stimulus control varied directly with the maintenance dose of morphine and was slightly greater for a lower than a higher morphine training dose. Termination of repeated treatment was followed by a return to initial sensitivity, without additional training. Tolerance to morphine stimulus control was not necessarily accompanied by tolerance to its rate-suppressing effects.

    Notes: Abstract  Rationale: Discriminative stimulus effects of mu opioids vary systematically as a function of training dose. Differences among training doses may arise from multiple mechanisms. Objectives: In vivo apparent pA2 analyses were used to examine the contributions of opioid mechanisms to stimulus control by low and high training doses of the mu opioid fentanyl. Methods: Saline and one of two doses of fentanyl, administered s.c., were established as discriminative stimuli in two groups of rats (low training dose group: 0.01 mg/kg; high training dose group: 0.04 mg/kg). Generalization tests and in vivo apparent pA2 analyses were used to evaluate receptor mechanisms of stimulus control. Results: Fentanyl, etonitazene, methadone, and morphine evoked full fentanyl generalization in both groups but were more potent in the low-dose group. Spiradoline and d-amphetamine did not evoke generalization in either group. Naltrexone antagonized stimulus and rate-altering effects of fentanyl in both groups, with apparent pA2 values of 7.6 in the low-dose group and 7.5 in the high-dose group. Nalbuphine and nalorphine evoked full generalization in the low-dose group but less than 40% generalization in the high-dose group. In the high-dose group, nalbuphine and nalorphine antagonized the stimulus and rate-altering effects of fentanyl with apparent pA2 values of 5.3 and 6.1, respectively, demonstrating lower efficacy mu actions. Conclusions: Changes in fentanyl training dose preserved the mu opioid selectivity of stimulus control but altered the intensity of the transduced mu opioid stimulus required for generalization. These differences in intensity of the fentanyl stimulus determined whether low efficacy mu opioids would evoke or antagonize fentanyl generalization.
