Levorphanol is a potent opioid analgesic that was first approved for use in the United States in 1953. Levorphanol is approved for use in moderate to severe pain where an opioid analgesic is appropriate. Levorphanol has a wide range of activities including mu opioid agonism, delta agonism, kappa1 and kappa3 receptor agonism, N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antagonism and reuptake inhibition of bo...
Internalisation of the mu opioid receptor from the surface of cells is generally achieved by receptor occupancy with agonist ligands of high efficacy. However, in many situations the potent analgesic morphine fails to promote internalisation effectively and whether there is a direct link between this and the propensity for the sustained use of morphine to result in both tolerance and dependence...
The ability of kappa-opioid receptor ligands to modulate dependence-related behavioural effects of drugs like morphine and cocaine is well documented. The present study examined the effects of kappa-opioid agonists on nicotine-induced locomotor stimulation in rats chronically pre-exposed to nicotine (0.4 mg/kg/day). U50,488 [0.5-3 mg/kg subcutaneously (s.c.)], U69,593 [0.08-0.32 mg/kg intraperi...
Perspectives An estimated 6.5 to 13.2 million people with opioid dependence, representing more than half of the world's estimated number, live in Asia. 1 Although most people in Asia who are opioid dependent use heroin or opium, the use of pharmaceutical opioids, mainly through the injecting route, has raised concern in recent years. and Sri Lanka – the estimated number of people who inject dru...
Opioid tolerance, dependence, and addiction are all manifestations of brain changes resulting from chronic opioid abuse. The opioid abuser's struggle for recovery is in great part a struggle to overcome the effects of these changes. Medications such as methadone, LAAM, buprenorphine, and naltrexone act on the same brain structures and processes as addictive opioids, but with protective or norma...
OPIOID DEPENDENCE AND ITS ASSOCIATED MORBIDity, mortality, and social costs continue to plague societies around the world. Opioid dependence is characterized by physical dependence as evidenced by tolerance and withdrawal and by behavioral problems, including the inability to control opioid use, opioid use despite adverse consequences, and social dysfunction. The 2003 National Survey on Drug Us...
Background: In India, one of the most common substances for which people seek treatment is opioids (including taken by injecting route). This group often characterized use multiple substances. Various biological, social and psychological factors have been implicated in initiation maintenance substance disorders, example, family history, getting involved with deviant peer group, presence other p...
Background Opioid receptors belong to the rhodopsin subclass within the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), which are characterized by the presence of seven transmembrane (7TM) helices. They interact with morphine and related opioid alkaloids as well as with endogenous opioid peptides. There are three main types of opioid receptors (μ, δ, ), which are differently implicated in op...
OBJECTIVES Healthcare professionals (HCPs) with opioid dependence are at risk for relapse and death, particularly in the first year of recovery; however, maintenance treatment with opioid agonists is controversial in this safety-sensitive group. We evaluated long-term safety, tolerability, and treatment outcomes of injectable, intramuscular, extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX) in opioid-depend...
The absence of consistent end organ abnormalities in many chronic pain syndromes has led to a search for maladaptive CNS mechanisms that may explain their clinical presentations and course. Here, we addressed the role of brain regional μ-opioid receptor-mediated neurotransmission, one of the best recognized mechanisms of pain regulation, in chronic back pain in human subjects. We compared μ-opi...
