β-lactam antibiotics enhance cellular glutamate uptake. Because increased glutamatergic transmission is a primary mediator of opiate dependence, we tested the hypothesis that a β-lactam antibiotic (ceftriaxone) prevents development of morphine physical dependence in rats. Morphine (20 mg/kg) was injected twice daily for 10 days to induce physical dependence. Naloxone (10 mg/kg) administration 1, 48 and 96 h after the last morphine injection induced a withdrawal syndrome characterized by the appearance of wet-dog shakes, teeth chattering, eye blinking, jumping, and paw tremor. Ceftriaxone (150, 200 mg/kg) injected once daily during chronic morphine exposure inhibited each naloxone-precipitated withdrawal sign. Ceftriaxone efficacy persisted even after the 96 h naloxone (10 mg/kg) injection. These results suggest β-lactam antibiotics inhibit processes leading to development of morphine physical dependence.
