title: Sigma opioid receptors; SKF-10,047 update.
abstract: We found that (-)-SKF-10,047 blocks EEG and behavioral effects of morphine in the naive rat, precipitates withdrawal in morphine-dependent rats, produces physical dependence as evidenced by naloxone-induced withdrawal, and displaces [3H] dihydromorphine from brain homogenates. (+)-SKF-10,047 did not produce dependence upon chronic treatment, and it did not displace [3H] dihydromorphine from brain homogenates. Such pharmacodynamic dissociation of SKF-10,047 effects suggests an association of sigma receptors with psychotogenic, but not opioid characteristics. The latter are most likely mediated by mu or kappa receptors.
