    Notes: Abstract The drug discrimination paradigm was used to evaluate in rats the ability of the discriminate response to either 0.8 mg/kgd-amphetamine or 0.8 mg/kgl-cathinone to generalize to 2.4–6.0 mg/kg of the active cathinone metabolited-norpseudoephedrine, also known as cathine. When tested 24 h after vehicle administration, cathine generalized in a dose-related fashion in rats (n=6) trained with cathinone (ED50=3.03 mg/kg) and in rats (n=8) trained with amphetamine (ED50=2.93 mg/kg). In contrast, when cathine was tested 24 h after the administration of either amphetamine or cathinone, it produced significantly decreased discriminative performance. The possibility that this acute tolerance may have been produced by release, and subsequent depletion, of brain dopamine was tested by pretreating rats with the dopamine release inhibitor CGS 10746B. When CGS 10746B was administered prior to cathinone it significantly decreased cathinone discrimination. In addition, acute tolerance to cathine at 24 h after vehicle-cathinone co-administration was reversed when cathine was tested 24 h after CGS 10746B-cathinone co-administration. The results suggest that cathinone-produced discriminative stimulus, as well as the acute tolerance to cathine, may be dopaminergically mediated.

    Notes: Abstract After rats were trained to differentiate between the effects of d-amphetamine and saline in a state-dependent task, pretreatment with the tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor, α-methyl-p-tyrosine, significantly decreased amphetamine discrimination. Pretreatment with the dopamine-Β-hydroxylase inhibitor, disulfiram, or with the tryptophan hydroxylase inhibitor, p-chloro-phenylalanine, was observed to have no effect on the rats' ability to discriminate d-amphetamine. Administration of haloperidol, a selective dopamine receptor blocker, completely abolished the amphetamine discrimination, whereas α- and Β-adrenergic receptor blockade had no effect. Apomorphine, a dopamine receptor stimulant, produced amphetamine-like responses and this was, likewise, abolished by pretreatment with haloperidol. These data suggest that dopaminergic systems mediate the interoceptive cue produced by d-amphetamine in rats, and these results are discussed in relation to possible dopamine mediation of amphetamine psychosis and paranoid schizophrenia.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of pilocarpine, atropine and dexetimide were studied on the occurrence and intensity of morphine-withdrawal signs observed after cessation of chronic morphine injections. Pilocarpine was effective in reducing both ‘wet-dog’ like body shakes and aggression but it increased diarrhea and weight loss. Pretreatment with atropine blocked all of the effects of pilocarpine on withdrawal signs. Methylscopolamine pretreatment blocked only diarrhea. The administration of atropine or dexetimide produced no significant effect on any of the withdrawal signs. These results indicate a role for central cholinergic mechanism in narcotic withdrawal.

    Notes: The reactions of OH radicals with dimethylsulfide (DMS) diethylsulfide (DES), tetrahydrothiophene (THT), and thiophene have been studied at room temperature for DES and THT, at 273, 293, and 318 K for DMS, and at 293 and 318 K for thiophene by the discharge flow EPR technique in a halocarbon wax coated reactor. The following rate constants were obtained at room temperature. For the reaction OH + DMS (1), a very low temperature dependence was noticed.Some additional results concerning the mass spectrometric analysis of the products are also reported.

    Notes: The reaction IO + CH3SCH3 → products (3) was studied at room temperature and near 1 Torr pressure of He, using the discharge flow mass spectrometric technique. The rate constant was found to be k3 = (1.5 ± 0.5) × 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1. CH3S(O)CH3 was detected as a product suggesting the following channel: IO + CH3SCH3 → CH3S(O)CH3 + I. The rate constant of the reaction IO + IO → products (1) was also measured: k1 = (3 ± 0.5) × 10-11 at 298 K and 1 Torr pressure. The atmospheric implication of reaction (3) is discussed. The results indicate that this reaction could be a potential important sink of CH3SCH3 in marine atmosphere.

    Notes: A kinetic study of the reactions of H atoms with CH3SH and C2H5SH has been carried out at 298 K by the discharge flow technique with EPR and mass spectrometric analysis of the species. The pressure was 1 torr. It was found: k1 = (2.20 ± 0.20) × 10-12 for the reaction H + CH3SH (1) and k2 = (2.40 ± 0.16) × 10-12 for the reaction H + C2H5SH (2). Units are cm3 molecule-1 s-1. A mass spectrometric analysis of the reaction products and a computer simulation of the reacting systems have shown that reaction (1) proceeds through two mechanisms leading to the formation of CH3S + H2 (1a) and CH3 + H2S (1b).
