Efficient microwave-assisted direct radiosynthesis of [(18)F]PR04.MZ and [(18)F]LBT999: selective dopamine transporter ligands for quantitative molec…
2009
Abstract PR04.MZ 8-(4-fluoro-but-2-ynyl)-3- p -tolyl-8-aza-bicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester ( 1 ) and LBT999 8-(( E )-4-fluoro-but-2-enyl)-3b- p -tolyl-8-aza-bicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2β-carboxylic acid methyl ester ( 2 ) are selective dopamine reuptake inhibitors, derived from cocaine. Compounds 1 and 2 were labelled with fluorine-18 at their terminally fluorinated N-substituents employing microwave enhanced direct nucleophilic fluorination. K[ 18 F]F − Kryptofix ® 222 cryptate, tetrabutyl ammonium [ 18 F]fluoride and caesium [ 18 F]fluoride were compared as fluoride sources under conventional and microwave enhanced conditions. Fluorination yields were remarkably increased un…
The Association between a MAOB Variable Number Tandem Repeat Polymorphism and Cocaine and Opiate Addictions in Polyconsumers
2021
Genetic analysis of the association between alcohol, cocaine, and opiate addiction and variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphisms in monoamine oxidase B (MAOB) and serotonergic 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 1B and 2C (HTR1B 21 and HTR2C) pathway genes was performed in a sample of 302 polyconsumers. Our genetic association analysis revealed a significant association between a 184 base pair (bp) VNTR polymorphism in the MAOB gene and addiction to cocaine and opiates. This work highlights new genetic marker associations in cocaine and opiate polyconsumer addictions. These data help to clarify and quantify the complex role of genetics in addictive disorders, as well as their …
Gestational exposure to cocaine alters cocaine reward
2006
Exposure of the developing foetus to drugs of abuse during pregnancy may lead to persistent abnormalities of brain systems involved in drug addiction. Mice prenatally exposed to cocaine (25 mg/kg), physiological saline or non-treated during the last 7 days of pregnancy were evaluated in adulthood for the rewarding properties of cocaine (3, 25 and 50 mg/kg), using the conditioned place preference procedure. Dams treated with physiological saline gained significantly less weight over the course of gestation than controls; no other differences were observed in the maternal and offspring data. All the animals developed preference to 3 and 25 mg/kg of cocaine, but those treated prenatally with c…
Efectos conductuales y neuroquímicos del consumo de éxtasis y cocaína en ratones adolescentes.
2009
La 3,4-metilendioximetanfetamina (MDMA), una sustancia popularmente conocida como éxtasis, es una droga ilícita consumida habitualmente por adolescentes y adultos jóvenes. Además, el policonsumo es una práctica habitual entre los usuarios de la MDMA, siendo la cocaína una de las drogas más frecuentemente asociadas a esta sustancia. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar los efectos a corto y largo plazo que se producen tras la administración de la MDMA (5, 10, o 20 mg/kg) sola o en combinación con cocaína (25 mg/kg) en ratones adolescentes. En el estudio sobre el efecto agudo, observamos que ambas drogas administradas individual o simultáneamente incrementan la actividad motora. La do…
Patrones de consumo y variables de personalidad en drogodependientes a tratamiento
2012
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la relación entre factores de personalidad y consumo de sustancias. Específi camente se busca analizar la impulsividad y la búsqueda de sensaciones como variables de personalidad derivadas de modelos psicobiológicos de personalidad, así como el autocontrol, para examinar su relación con los patrones de consumo de drogas. En el trabajo se exploran las características diferenciales en términos de personalidad en pacientes adictos a heroína y en pacientes adictos a cocaína, así como en otro grupo de consumidores que puede merecer especial atención, como es el caso de los antiguos consumidores de heroína que ahora son adictos a la cocaína. La muestra está…
Ion mobility spectrometry evaluation of cocaine occupational exposure in forensic laboratories
2014
An approach, based on ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) has been developed for the control of cocaine in air of the breathing zone of operators, in laboratory surfaces and in nasal mucus of employees to evaluate cocaine exposure in a forensic laboratory. The analytical methodology has been validated in terms of accuracy, precision and limits of detection and results obtained were statistically comparable with those obtained by liquid chromatography. Cocaine concentration in laboratory air increases from 100 ± 35 ng m(-3) of a normal day to 10,000 ng m(-3) during the manipulation of cocaine seizures. The occupational exposure limit (OEL) for cocaine has not been established which difficult the…
Iontophoresis for Therapeutic Drug Delivery and Non-invasive Sampling Applications
2017
Most research concerning iontophoresis has focused on topical and transdermal drug delivery and in non-invasive skin sampling applications. Iontophoresis has been established as a safe, versatile and efficient enhancement technique, and several iontophoretic devices have been marketed for topical (lidocaine) and systemic (fentanyl, sumatriptan) delivery and for non-invasive sampling (glucose). Nevertheless, the last decade has seen an increased interest into the potential use of iontophoresis to deliver drugs through the nail and through the sclera and cornea, the two main barriers to eye drug delivery. This chapter aims to summarize the main progress achieved in these areas.
