In the mouse tail-flick test, neither the racemate of N-allylnormetazocine (NANM) nor its optical isomers showed antinociceptive activity. All 3 antagonized morphine''s tail-flick effects. In the phenylquinone test in mice, the racemate and (-)isomer of NANM showed agonist activity and antagonized morphine-induced antinociception. The (+)-isomer was inactive. The opioid antagonist, naloxone, was effective vs. morphine alone in the tail-flick and vs. morphine, and (.+-.)- and (-)-NANM in the phenylquinone test. Yohimbine, the .alpha.2-receptor blocker, antagonized morphine in the tail-flick test. In the phenylquinone test, yohimbine was effective vs. (.+-.)- and (-)-NANM, but showed no activity vs. morphine. Morphine and NANM are apparently acting at different sites. Different .alpha.2-adrenoceptors appear to be involved. Some implications regarding the analgesic and psychotomimetic properties of NANM are discussed.
