In morphine-dependent rats pretreated with an intrathecal injection of saline (vehicle), intraarterial injection of 0.5 mg/kg of naloxone produced an immediate increase in blood pressure, Heart rate increased in most rats just after naloxone injection; however, the responses were transient, not lasting more than about 4 min after injection, Naloxone-precipitated behavioral changes were dominated by the appearance of body shakes and escape attempts that were strongly expressed during the first 10 min after naloxone. Pretreatment of morphine-dependent rats with an intrathecal injection of 100 nmol of the neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist CP-99994 significantly inhibited the magnitude and shortened the duration of the presser response to naloxone. CP-99994 did not reduce the expression of the associated withdrawal behaviors, Substance P significantly reversed the inhibitory effects of CP-99994 on the expression of the withdrawal-associated presser response, Intrathecal pretreatment with CP-99994 also produced a dose-dependent inhibition of the expression of the presser response to local spinal (intrathecal) injection of naloxone (60 mu g) in morphine dependent rats without significant alteration of the expression of withdrawal-associated behaviors, These results indicate that spinal neurokinin-1 receptors mediate some of the cardiovascular signs of morphine withdrawal and suggest the possibility of developing a novel class of antiopiate withdrawal agents.
