Reinforcing effects of opioid/cannabinoid mixtures in rhesus monkeys responding under a food/drug choice procedure

In rhesus monkeys, cannabinoids fail to enhance and often decrease self-administration of the mu opioid receptor agonist heroin, suggesting that opioid/cannabinoid mixtures do not have greater reinforcing effects compared with opioids alone.

Effects of opioid/cannabinoid mixtures on impulsivity and memory in rhesus monkeys

Evidence is provided supporting the notion that opioid/cannabinoid mixtures that are effective for treating pain do not have greater, and in some cases have less, adverse effects compared with larger doses of each drug alone.

Effects of morphine/CP55940 mixtures on an impulsive choice task in rhesus monkeys

The results extend previous work showing that cannabinoids enhance antinociceptive effects but not adverse (reinforcing) effects of opioids, and the effects of morphine/CP5540 mixtures on cognitive performance need to be assessed during and after daily drug administration.

Long-Lasting Effects of Methocinnamox on Opioid Self-Administration in Rhesus Monkeys

Because MCAM selectively attenuates opioid self-administration for prolonged periods, this novel drug could be a safe and effective alternative to currently available treatments for opioid abuse.

Cannabinoids for Pain Management

Given the numerous nuances of products and the ECS dosing for pain, both acute and chronic, dosing should be done in an escalating manner, so that the therapeutic benefit is appreciated.

The findings of this review confirm the importance of prompt and reliable information available for health professionals and more specific analytic techniques and designed preventive strategies are required to face unprecedented SC challenge.

Impact of Efficacy at the μ-Opioid Receptor on Antinociceptive Effects of Combinations of μ-Opioid Receptor Agonists and Cannabinoid Receptor Agonists

Cannabinoids increase the antinociceptive potency of higher efficacy opioid receptor agonists more than lower efficacy agonists; however, because much smaller doses of each drug can be administered in combinations while achieving adequate pain relief and that other effects of opioids do not appear to be enhanced by cannabinoids, these results provide additional support for combining opioids with cannabinoids to treat pain.

Interactions between Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol and μ opioid receptor agonists in rhesus monkeys: discrimination and antinociception

Investigating interactions between the discriminative stimulus and antinociceptive effects of μ opioid receptor agonists and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in rhesus monkeys suggests that attenuation of morphine by THC can result from perceptual masking rather than common pharmacodynamic mechanisms or pharmacokinetic interactions.

Interactions between μ-Opioid Receptor Agonists and Cannabinoid Receptor Agonists in Rhesus Monkeys: Antinociception, Drug Discrimination, and Drug Self-Administration

Cannabinoid receptor agonist CP 55,940 and WIN 55,212 enhanced the antinociceptive effects but not the discriminative stimulus or positive reinforcing effects of μ-opioid receptor agonists in rhesus monkeys, supporting the view that combining cannabinoid and opioid receptor agonism might result in enhanced treatment effectiveness for pain without similarly enhancing abuse and dependence liability.

5-HT receptor agonists increase the potency of morphine in an assay of antinociception, even under conditions where 5-HT agonists are themselves without effect, without increasing (and in some cases decreasing) the potencyof morphine in a drug discrimination assay.

The results demonstrate that the discrim inative stimulus effects of Δ9-THC are selective for cannabinoid activity, and the results of Schild analysis suggest that the same receptors mediate the discriminative stimulus results of Δ 9-THc, CP 55940, and WIN 55212-2.

The µ opioid irreversible antagonist beta-funaltrexamine differentiates the discriminative stimulus effects of opioids with high and low efficacy at the μ opioid receptor

The strategy of irreversible antagonism can be used effectively to differentiate opioids with varying degrees of intrinsic efficacy at the µ opioid receptors in a pigeon drug discrimination procedure, and the short-acting effect of βFNA in the pigeon suggests that the recovery of µ opioid receptor function varies across species.

Interactions between &Dgr;9-tetrahydrocannabinol and heroin: self-administration in rhesus monkeys

It is indicated that THC does not significantly enhance the positive reinforcing effects of heroin, further supporting the view that combining cannabinoid and opioid receptor agonists (e.g. for treating pain) does not increase, and might decrease, the abuse liability of individual drugs.
