title: [Opioid mechanisms of the analgesic action of cocaine].
abstract: Rat experiments revealed a dose-dependent and naloxone-dependent analgetic effect of cocaine (0.5-3.0 mg/kg), evaluated by the tail-flick test. The cocaine-sensitive animals were morphine-sensitive and the cocaine-insensitive ones were morphine-insensitive. In some cocaine-insensitive rats, the use of cocaine led to that the first phase characterized by the lack of changes in nociception was followed by a hyperalgesic phase. It is suggested that cocaine produces an analgetic effect mainly via the delta-opioid mechanism.
