A number of opiate antagonists and the dextro isomers of some of these drugs were studied for antagonism of acute opiate effects on ilea isolated from opiate-naive guinea pigs, precipitation of a withdrawal contraction of ilea isolated from morphine-dependent guinea pigs, precipitation of withdrawal in morphine-dependent rhesus monkeys [Macaca mulatta] and stereospecific displacement of 3H-etorphine binding to rat-brain membranes. With the exception of d-naloxone, all of the compounds displaced 3H-etorphine. With the exception of d-naloxone, nalorphine and quaternary nalorphine, all of the antagonists caused a contraction of ilea isolated from morphine-dependent guinea pigs. The IC50 [median inhibitory concentration] values of the compounds for displacing 3H-etorphine binding were well correlated with both their Ke [antagonist potency] values for antagonism in the ileum (r = 0.95) and with their EC50 [median effective concentration] values for precipitating a contraction in this preparation (r = 0.92). Generally, the concentration of antagonist necessary to precipitate half maximal contracture was 30-fold greater than the Ke value of the antagonist. Most of the opiate antagonists also precipitated withdrawal when administered to morphine-dependent rhesus monkeys and their in vivo potencies were well correlated with their in vitro potencies in ileum (with Ke: r = 0.95; with EC50: r = 0.99) and in displacing 3H-etorphine (r = 0.95). The quaternary derivative of naltrexone was an effective opiate antagonist only in vitro and was ineffective in precipitating withdrawal in morphine-dependent rhesus monkeys. Evidently, the receptor sites labeled by 3H-etorphine are the same as those involved in antagonism of acute opiate actions and in precipitation of withdrawal.
