Cocaine abuse is an ongoing and serious problem that has led to the growth of a brutal criminal enterprise, particularly in the Americas and Europe. At present, there are no effective pharmacological agents available to treat the addiction by blocking cocaine or reversing its effects. In order to help motivated addicts conquer their addiction, vaccines against cocaine are being developed and one has progressed to clinical trials. This article will discuss the concept of antidrug vaccines in general, the successes and limitations of the various anti-cocaine vaccine approaches, the results of the clinical trials with an anti-cocaine vaccine and some new vaccine-mediated approaches to combat cocaine addiction.
可卡因滥用是一个持续存在且严重的问题,导致了残酷的犯罪企业的发展,特别是在美洲和欧洲。目前,没有有效的药理学药物可用于通过阻断可卡因或逆转其作用来治疗成瘾。为了帮助有动机的成瘾者克服他们的成瘾,正在开发针对可卡因的疫苗,其中一种已经进展到临床试验阶段。本文将讨论一般的戒毒疫苗概念,各种抗可卡因疫苗方法的成功和局限性,抗可卡因疫苗的临床试验结果以及一些新的疫苗介导的方法来对抗可卡因成瘾。
