    Abstract Neuropathy is major source of chronic pain that can be caused by mechanically or chemically induced nerve injury. Intraplantar formalin injection produces local necrosis over a two-week period and has been used to model neuropathy in rats. To determine whether neuropathy alters dopamine (DA) receptor responsiveness in mesolimbic brain regions, we examined dopamine D

    Abstract Some drugs developed as anticonvulsants (notably, valproate and lamotrigine) have therapeutic effects in bipolar and related disorders. Lacosamide, a recently approved anticonvulsant, has unique effects on sodium channels that may play a role in producing the mood-stabilizing effects of anticonvulsant drugs. We tested whether lacosamide would have effects similar to or different from valproate and lamotrigine in a model of reward and elevated mood. The intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) test is sensitive to the function of brain reward systems. Changes in ICSS may model aspects of disorders characterized by abnormalities of reward and motivation. Cocaine elevates mood, and reduction of cocaine-induced facilitation of ICSS has been used to predict antimanic-like or mood stabilizing effects of drugs. We tested lacosamide, lamotrigine, and valproate in the rat ICSS test alone or in the presence of cocaine. A high dose of lacosamide (30mg/kg) significantly elevated ICSS thresholds, indicating that it reduced the rewarding impact of medial forebrain bundle stimulation. Lower doses (3–10mg/kg) did not alter ICSS, but blocked the cocaine-induced lowering of ICSS thresholds. The highest doses of valproate (300mg/kg) and lamotrigine (30mg/kg) also elevated ICSS thresholds, and only these high doses significantly lowered cocaine-induced effects. Of the drugs tested, only lacosamide significantly attenuated the reward-facilitating effects of cocaine at doses that had no effects on ICSS response in the absence of cocaine. Abnormalities of mood and reward are common in psychiatric disorders, and these results suggest that lacosamide deserves further study in models of these disorders.

    Abstract The kappa opioid receptor (KOPR) has been identified as a potential drug target to prevent or alter the course of mood, anxiety and addictive disorders or reduce response to stress. In a search for highly potent and selective KOPR partial agonists as pharmacological tools, we have modified 12-epi-salvinorin A, a compound which we have previously observed to be a KOPR partial agonist. Five analogues of 12-epi-salvinorin A were synthesized and their effects on G protein activation as well as β-arrestin2 recruitment were evaluated. Only 12-epi-salvinorin A (1) partially activated signaling through G proteins, yet acted as a full agonist in the β-arrestin 2 DiscoveRx assay. Other salvinorin analogues tested in these functional assays were full agonists in both assays of KOPR activation. By comparison, the non-selective opioid ligand nalbuphine, known to be a partial agonist for G-protein activation, was also a partial agonist for the β-arrestin mediated signaling pathway activated through KOPR.

    crystal structure and affinity at the κ opioid receptor

    Abstract There have been many reports of epimerization of salvinorins at C-8 under basic conditions, but little evidence has been presented to establish the structure of these compounds. We report here the first crystal structure of an 8-epi-salvinorin or derivative: the title compound, 2b. The lactone adopts a boat conformation with the furan equatorial. Several lines of evidence suggest that epimerization proceeds via enolization of the lactone rather than a previously proposed indirect mechanism. Consistent with the general trend in related compounds, the title compound showed lower affinity at the kappa opioid receptor than the natural epimer salvinorin B (2a). The related 8-epi-acid 4b showed no affinity.

    Abstract Circadian rhythms and the genes that make up the molecular clock have long been implicated in bipolar disorder. Genetic evidence in bipolar patients suggests that the central transcriptional activator of molecular rhythms, CLOCK, may be particularly important. However, the exact role of this gene in the development of this disorder remains unclear. Here we show that mice carrying a mutation in the Clock gene display an overall behavioral profile that is strikingly similar to human mania, including hyperactivity, decreased sleep, lowered depression-like behavior, lower anxiety, and an increase in the reward value for cocaine, sucrose, and medial forebrain bundle stimulation. Chronic administration of the mood stabilizer lithium returns many of these behavioral responses to wild-type levels. In addition, the Clock mutant mice have an increase in dopaminergic activity in the ventral tegmental area, and their behavioral abnormalities are rescued by expressing a functional CLOCK protein via viral-mediated gene transfer specifically in the ventral tegmental area. These findings establish the Clock mutant mice as a previously unrecognized model of human mania and reveal an important role for CLOCK in the dopaminergic system in regulating behavior and mood.
