Cataleptic effects of opiates following intrathecal administration. 1984

L R Watkins, and H Frenk, and J Miller, and D J Mayer

Intrathecal (i.t.) administration of D-ala2-methionine-enkephalinamide (DALA) and methadone induces pronounced hindlimb catalepsy in rats. DALA is more potent than methadone in inducing this behavior and catalepsy induced by both compounds is partially blocked by prior treatment with naltrexone. Intrathecal morphine induces convulsive hindlimb activity at doses of 25, 100 and 400 micrograms. However, only the highest dose produces indications of cataleptic behavior. It is suggested that whereas the convulsive behavior induced by i.t. morphine is not mediated by specific opiate receptors, catalepsy induced by all 3 compounds is.

D011957 Receptors, Opioid Cell membrane proteins that bind opioids and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. The endogenous ligands for opioid receptors in mammals include three families of peptides, the enkephalins, endorphins, and dynorphins. The receptor classes include mu, delta, and kappa receptors. Sigma receptors bind several psychoactive substances, including certain opioids, but their endogenous ligands are not known.
