  • (Butorphanol Tartrate) Nasal Spray
    NDA 19-890/S-017 Page 3 ® STADOL (butorphanol tartrate) Injection, USP STADOL NS® (butorphanol tartrate) Nasal Spray DESCRIPTION Butorphanol tartrate is a synthetically derived opioid agonist-antagonist analgesic of the phenanthrene series. The chemical name is (-)-17-(cyclobutylmethyl) morphinan-3, 14-diol [S- (R*,R*)] - 2,3 - dihydroxybutanedioate (1:1) (salt). The molecular formula is C21H29NO2,C4H6O6, which corresponds to a molecular weight of 477.55 and the following structural formula: Butorphanol tartrate is a white crystalline substance. The dose is expressed as the tartrate salt. One milligram of the salt is equivalent to 0.68 mg of the free base. The n-octanol/aqueous buffer partition coefficient of butorphanol is 180:1 at pH 7.5. STADOL (butorphanol tartrate) Injection, USP, is a sterile, parenteral, aqueous solution of butorphanol tartrate for intravenous or intramuscular administration. In addition to 1 or 2 mg of butorphanol tartrate, each mL of solution contains 3.3 mg of citric acid, 6.4 mg sodium citrate, and 6.4 mg sodium chloride, and 0.1 mg benzethonium chloride (in multiple dose vial only) as a preservative. NDA 19-890/S-017 Page 4 STADOL NS (butorphanol tartrate) Nasal Spray is an aqueous solution of butorphanol tartrate for administration as a metered spray to the nasal mucosa. Each bottle of STADOL NS contains 2.5 mL of a 10 mg/mL solution of butorphanol tartrate with sodium chloride, citric acid, and benzethonium chloride in purified water with sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid added to adjust the pH to 5.0. The pump reservoir must be fully primed (see PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS) prior to initial use.

Narcotics WHAT ARE NARCOTICS? Also known as “opioids,” the term "narcotic" comes from the Greek word for “stupor” and originally referred to a variety of substances that dulled the senses and relieved pain. Though some people still refer to all drugs as “narcot- ics,” today “narcotic” refers to opium, opium derivatives, and their semi-synthetic substitutes. A more current term for these drugs, with less uncertainty regarding its meaning, is “opioid.” Examples include the illicit drug heroin and pharmaceutical drugs like OxyContin®, Vicodin®, codeine, morphine, methadone and fentanyl. WHAT IS THEIR ORIGIN? The poppy papaver somniferum is the source for all natural opioids, whereas synthetic opioids are made entirely in a lab and include meperidine, fentanyl, and methadone. Semi-synthetic opioids are synthesized from naturally occurring opium products, such as morphine and codeine, and include heroin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone. Teens can obtain narcotics from friends, family members, medicine cabinets, pharmacies, nursing 2014 homes, hospitals, hospices, doctors, and the Internet. 9, on September archived 13-10048 No. v.

It is also used in the treatment of depression and postoperative pain management. However, in recent years it has gained popularity as a street drug used at clubs and raves due to its hallucinogenic effects. Administration: Oral; intravenous; intramuscular; insufflation Elimination: Ketamine metabolizes by N-demethylation to Norketamine and further dehydrogenates to Dehydronorketamine. After 72 hours of a single dose, 2.3% of Ketamine is unchanged, 1.6% is Norketamine, 16.2% is Dehydronorketamine, and 80% is hydroxylated derivatives of Ketamine.1,2 Abuse Potential: An overdose can cause unconsciousness and dangerously slowed breathing. 1) R.

  • Self-Administration of Psychoactive Substances by the Monkey
    Psychopharmacologia (BEE.) 16, 30--48 (1969) Self-Administration of Psychoactive Substances by the Monkey* ** A Measure of Psychological Dependence GERALD DI~NEAU***, TOMOJI YANAGITA+, and M. H. SEEVERS Department of Pharmacology, The University of Michigan Medical School Ann Arbor, Michigan Received December 26, 1968 Final Version: June 16, 1969 Summary. A method has been developed which permits monkeys to self-ad- minister drug solutions, at will, through indwelling intravenous catheters. Psycho- logical dependence on the effects of a drug occurs when a naive monkey voluntarily initiates and maintains self-administration of the drug. If, in addition to psycho- logical dependence, the drug also produces psychotoxieity, either directly or upon abrupt withdrawal, it has a potential abuse liability. In the present study monkeys developedpsychological dependence on morphine, codeine, cocaine, d-amphetamine, pentobarbital, ethanol, and caffeine. All of these drugs except caffeine produced psychotoxicity. Monkeys did not develop psycho- logical dependence on nalorphine, morphinc-nalorphine mixtures, chlorpromazine, mescaline or physiological saline. Key-Words: Psychological Dependence -- Psychotoxieity -- Drug Abuse -- Drug Dependence -- Psychoactive Drugs. Introduction In this laboratory an extensive experience concerning the behavioral effects of morphine-like drugs ia the monkey (Macaea mulatta) has been obtained during the last 20 years. A continuing program on the evaluation of the physiological dependence capacity of morphine-like drugs is in progress, and over 700 compounds have been examined during this period. The biological response of the monkey to morphine-like substances, in most respects, parallels closely their actions in man, and * Preliminary reports of this study were presented at the Fall Meeting of the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 1964.

Activation of the mu opioid receptor is associated with positive reward and euphoria, while activation of the kappa opioid receptor (KOR) has the opposite effect. Activation of the KOR causes a decrease in dopamine levels in reward-related regions of the brain, and can block the rewarding effects of various drugs of abuse, making it a potential drug target for addictive diseases. KOR agonists are of particular interest for the treatment of cocaine and other psychostimulant addictions, because there are currently no available medications for these diseases. Studies in humans and animals, however, have shown that activation of the KOR also causes negative side effects such as hallucinations, aversion and sedation. Several strategies are currently being employed to develop KOR agonists that block the rewarding effects of drugs of abuse with fewer side effects, including KOR agonists with unique pharmacology.

Morphine was hypothesized to be an agonist for the p receptor, ketazocine (ketocyclazocine) was an agonist for the K receptor, and SKF-10,0q7 was an agonist for the ~ receptor. The effects of these three drugs in the chronic spinal dog were reversed by the narcotic antagonist, naltrexone, indicating that the effects of these drugs are narcotic agonist effects (I). In additlon to the different effects of these narcotics in the non- dependent chronic spinal dog, the effects of morphine, ketazocine, and SKF-IO,047 in several other behavioral and physiological preparations are consistent with the concept of multiple receptors. For example, while ketazocine and ethylketazocine, like morphine, produce analgesia, these compounds, unlike morphine, do not suppress signs of narcotic abstinence in the morphine-dependent rhesus monkey or morphine-dependent chronic spinal dog (1-5). Further, the characteristics of ketazocine withdrawal and antagonist- precipitated abstinence syndromes, although similar to those of cyclazocine, are quailtativeiy different from those of morphine (1,2). In rhesus monkeys, ketazocine, ethylketazocine, and SKF-10,047 maintain lever pressing at rates comparable to or below those maintained by saline, and well below response rates maintained by codeine or morphine (5,6), suggesting that the former set of drugs have limited reinforcing effect.
