METABOLISM AND PHARMACOKINETICS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW THERAPEUTICS FOR COCAINE AND OPIOID ABUSE A Dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Pharmaceutical Sciences in the Department of Pharmaceutics The University of Mississippi by PRADEEP KUMAR VUPPALA April 2012 Copyright © 2012 by Pradeep Kumar Vuppala All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cocaine and opioid abuse are a major public health concern and the cause of significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. The development of effective medication for cocaine and opioid abuse is necessary to reduce the impact of this issue upon the individual and society. The pharmacologic treatment for drug abuse has been based on one of the following strategies: agonist substitution, antagonist treatment, or symptomatic treatment. This dissertation is focused on the role of metabolism and pharmacokinetics in the development of new pharmacotherapies, CM304 (sigma-1 receptor antagonist), mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine (µ-opioid receptor agonists), for the treatment of drug abuse.

  • Alpha^ and Beta^Blocking Agents: Pharmacology and Properties
    CURRENT DRUG THERAPY DONALD G. VIDT, MD AND ALAN BAKST, PharmD, EDITORS Alpha^ and beta^blocking agents: pharmacology and properties PROFESSOR B.N.C. PRICHARD • Adrenergic receptors have been separated into alpha and beta groups, which have then been further subdivided. Agents have been developed that block each type of receptor with varying degrees of specificity between the sub-types, leading to differences in pharmacodynamic profile. A more recent innovation has been the development of multiple action beta-blocking drugs, ie, those not only blocking the beta receptors but also posessing a peripheral vasodilator effect that may be due to alpha blockade, beta-2 stimulation, or a vasodilator action independent of either alpha or beta receptors. • INDEX TERMS: ALPHA BLOCKERS; BETA BLOCKERS; HYPERTENSION • CLEVE CLIN ] MED 1991; 58:33 7-350 HE CONCEPT that binding of Rosenblueth suggested that a transmitter released at catecholamines to receptors leads to differ- sympathetic nerve endings produced either inhibitory ing responses was first described by Langley, or excitatory responses as a result of combination with who in 1905 noted that a cell may make sympathin I or sympathin E at the receptor.3 Tmotor or inhibitory substances or both, and that "the The current classification of alpha and beta respon- effect of a nerve impulse depends upon the proportion ses is based on the classic work of Ahlquist,4 who of the two kinds of receptive substance which is af- studied six sympathomimetic amines and found two fected by the impulse."1 In 1906, Dale reported that patterns of reactivity.

  • Chronotropic, Dromotropic and Inotropic Effects of Dilazep in the Intact Dog Heart and Isolated Atrial Preparation Shigetoshi CH
    Chronotropic, Dromotropic and Inotropic Effects of Dilazep in the Intact Dog Heart and Isolated Atrial Preparation Shigetoshi CHIBA, M.D., Miyoharu KOBAYASHI, M.D., Masahiro SHIMOTORI,M.D., Yasuyuki FURUKAWA, M.D., and Kimiaki SAEGUSA, M.D. SUMMARY When dilazep was administered intravenously to the anesthe- tized donor dog, mean systemic blood pressure was dose depend- ently decreased. At a dose of 0.1mg/Kg i.v., the mean blood pressure was not changed but a slight decrease in heart rate was usually observed in the donor dog. At the same time, a slight but significant decrease in atrial rate and developed tension of the iso- lated atrium was induced. Within a dose range of 0.3 to 1mg/Kg i.v., dilazep caused a dose related decrease in mean blood pressure, bradycardia in the donor dog, and negative chronotropic, dromo- tropic and inotropic effects in the isolated atrium. At larger doses of 3 and 10mg/Kg i.v., dilazep caused marked hypotension, fre- quently with severe sinus bradycardia or sinus arrest, especially in isolated atria. When dilazep was infused intraarterially at a rate of 0.2-1 ƒÊ g/min into the cannulated sinus node artery of the isolated atrium, negative chrono- and inotropic effects were dose dependently in- duced. With respect to dromotropism, SA conduction time (SACT) was prolonged at infusion rates of 0.2 and 0.4ƒÊg/min. But at 1ƒÊg, dilazep caused an increase or decrease of SACT, indicating a shift of the SA nodal pacemaker. It is concluded that dilazep has direct negative chrono-, dromo- and inotropic properties on the heart at doses which produced no significant hypotension.

    MICROGRAM Laboratory Operations Division Office Of Science And Drug Abuse Prevention BUREAU OF NARCOTICS & DANGEROUS DRUGS / U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE / WASHINGTION, D.C. 20537 Vol.III, No. 2 March-April, 1970 STP (4-Methyl-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine) hydrochloride was found coating the inside of capsules sent to BNDDfrom Germany. The capsules were clear, hard gelatin, standard shape size No. o. Average weight was 114 milligrams. Each capsule had a white crystalline coating on inner surface of capsule body. Apparently a measu~ed amount of solution had been placedin the cap·sule body, after which it was rotated to spread the solution on the inner surface. The substance contained 8. 7 milli­ grams STP (DOM)HCl per ca·psule. · These were the first STP capsules of this type seen by our laboratory. A few years ago, capsules were ob­ tained in the U.S. similarly coated with LSD. STP (Free Base) on laboratory filter paper, also from Germany, was seen for the first time in our laboratory. The STP spots, containing approxi­ mately 8 miliigrams STP base each, were 5/8 to 3/4 inch in diameter. The paper was 1\ inches square. Phencyclidine (Free Base) was recently analyzed on parsley leaves. Called "Angel DUst, 11 the phencyclidine on two samples of leaves was 2.6% and 3.6%. Approximately thirty pounds of 94% pure powder was also analyzed. (For identification of phencyclidine base, see Microgram, II, 1, p.3 (Jan 1969). IMITATIONSof well-known drug products are examined frequently in our Special Testing and Research Laboratory. Many of these are well made preparations and closely resemble the imitated product.
