Influence of naloxone upon motor activity induced by psychomotor stimulant drugs.

Abstract:

:Naloxone, an opioid receptor antagonist, attenuates a wide range of behavioral effects of d-amphetamine, such as the stimulation of motor activity. To investigate the pharmacological selectivity of the naloxone/amphetamine interaction, we assessed the effects of naloxone (5.0 mg/kg SC) upon motor activity induced in rats by a range of psychomotor stimulant drugs with a mechanism of action either similar to or different from that of d-amphetamine. Each of the drugs tested caused dose-dependent increases in both gross and fine activity. Naloxone attenuated the gross but not the fine activity response to d- and l-amphetamine, but had no influence upon the other catecholamine-releasing drugs, methamphetamine and phendimetrazine. In contrast, naloxone increased the gross but not the fine activity response to the catecholamine uptake inhibitors cocaine and mazindol, but had no effects upon the motor response to methylphenidate. The responses to other stimulant drugs (apomorphine, caffeine, scopolamine) were unaffected by naloxone pretreatment. The present findings extend the range of conditions under which naloxone and, by inference, endogenous opioid systems, modulate the behavioral response to psychomotor stimulants. However, the differential effects of naloxone upon the motor response to individual stimulant drugs support previous suggestions of fundamental differences in mechanisms of action among these compounds.
