Q

Talk through the theory of addiction

A

Postulated by Koob an Volkow 2010
- model proposes that actual brain changes happen in addiction and explains the persistent vulnerability to relapse long after drug taking has ceased
spiralling dysregulation of brain reward systems- allostasis

Q

What are the two different types of tolerance?

A

Pharmacodynamic (functional) - cellular responses to a substance is reduced with repeated use and a common cause is high concentration of the ubtance constantly binds to the receptor and desensitizes it through constant interactions

Q

What are the two different types of tolerance?

A

Pharmacodynamic (functional) - cellular responses to a substance is reduced with repeated use and a common cause is high concentration of the subtance constantly binds to the receptor and desensitizes it through constant interactions

Pharmacokinetics
occurs because of a decreased quantity of the substance reaching the site it affects. This may be caused by an increase in induction of the enzymes required for degradation of the drug e.g. CYP450 enzymes. This is most commonly seen with substances such as ethanol.

Q

What did Bull and Hales 2017 say?

A

opiod morphine analgesia needs MOPr- morphine activation of mu opioo receptors causes disinhibition of neurons in the VTA mediated by B-arrestin 2 and c-SRc
beta arrestin 2 recruitment after MOPr agonist binding/activation it acts as a scaffolding protein interacting with MAPK, Src and AKT

Q

Who said that a lack of beta arrestin causes increase in morphine conditioned place preference?

A

Bohn et al 2003

BECAUSE BETA arrestin causes decreased effects of opiods and increased tolerance meaning increase pain

Q

What does Lam 2011 say?

A

beta arrestin knockout will cause decreased tolerance and increase effects of opiods meaning decreased pain
BUT DOES not cause dependence to the morphine
So essentially, Beta arrestn knockout causes basal analgesia by MOPr activation which can be reversed by naloxone but it does not cause dependence by constituitively active MOPr

Q

what did Urs et al 2011 say?

A

beta arrestin knockout did not show increase in morphine stimulated locomotion, thus beta arrestin is needed for full locomotion and also D1/D2 receptors

suggest a potential role for a D1R-dependent βarr2/pERK signaling complex in selectively mediating the locomotor-stimulating but not the rewarding properties of morphine.

Q

what did hsanko et al 2005 show?

A

showed that tyrosine hydroxylase knockout mice (dopamine deficient) lack morphine stimulate locomotion but exhibit morphine conditioned place preference showing that D1 receptors arent needed for morphine CCP but its needed for locomotion

17
Q

How is ethanol broken down?

A

Ethanol is broken down into acetaldyhyde and then into acetic acid by acetaldyhyde dehydrogenase

18
Q

What drugs are used for anti-craving?

A

naltrexone by antagonizing the effects of the opiod peptides it reduces craving and the reward aspect of alcohol
but also works in withdrawal so theres some action of mu receptors in the reward pathway too?
methadone

19
Q

What drugs are used for withdrawal?

A

benzoa, acamprosate and topiramate because they act on GABA and dampen down the excitability that alcoholics face
chronic alcohol- GABAR are downregulated so chronic state of excitability

20
Q

What does ziauddeen et al 2014say?

A

mu receptor antagonists are shown to reduce the hedonic response to binge/gambling

21
Q

talk about dopamine receptors and cAMP

A

D1- stimulates cAMP

D2- Inhibits cAMP

22
Q

Which ones are the D1 like receptor and which ones are the D2 like receptor?

A

D1 like- D1 and D5

D2 like- D2, D3, D4

23
Q

How to treat nicotine addiction?

A

nicotine patch
vareniciline- alpha4B2 receptor agonist
buproprion antidepressant
