The medical use of morphine as a pain killer is hindered by its side effects including dependence and further addiction. As the prototypical μ receptor agonist, morphine's rewarding effect can be measured by conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigms in animals. Chloral hydrate is a clinical sedative. Using a morphine CPP paradigm that mainly contains somatosensory cues, we found that pre-CPP treatment in rats using chloral hydrate for 6 consecutive days could disrupt the establishment of CPP in a U shape. Chloral hydrate had no effect on the body weight of rats. Our results indicate that prior treatment with chloral hydrate can interrupt the rewarding effect of morphine.
吗啡作为止痛剂的医学应用因其副作用(包括依赖性和进一步成瘾)而受到阻碍。作为典型的μ受体激动剂,吗啡的奖赏效应可以通过动物的条件性位置偏爱(CPP)范式来衡量。水合氯醛是一种临床镇静剂。使用主要包含体感线索的吗啡CPP范式,我们发现,在大鼠中,于CPP建立前连续6天使用水合氯醛进行预处理,会呈U形干扰CPP的建立。水合氯醛对大鼠体重没有影响。我们的结果表明,用水合氯醛进行预处理可以中断吗啡的奖赏效应。
