Published studies suggest NMDAR antagonists prevent development of tolerance to effects of morphine by blocking NMDAR hyperactivation.\nOBJECTIVES: We sought to compare effects of memantine to those of the more frequently studied dizocilpine and to evaluate memantine as a potential adjunct to modify tolerance to mu-opioid receptor agonists.\nMETHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were trained to discriminate morphine (3.2 mg/kg) and saline under fixed ratio 15 schedules of food delivery. Potency and maximal stimulus or rate-altering effects of cumulative doses of morphine were examined 30 min after pretreatment with dizocilpine (0.032-0.1 mg/kg) or memantine (5-10 mg/kg) and after chronic treatment with combinations of dizocilpine or memantine and morphine, 10 mg/kg twice daily, for 6 to 14 days. Effects of dizocilpine or memantine on morphine antinociception were examined in a 55 °C water tail-withdrawal assay with drug treatments parallel to those in discrimination studies.\nRESULTS: Acutely, memantine attenuated while dizocilpine potentiated the stimulus and antinociceptive effects of morphine. Neither chronic dizocilpine nor memantine blocked tolerance to the stimulus effects of morphine. In contrast, combined treatment with dizocilpine (0.1 mg/kg) blocked tolerance to antinociceptive effects of lower (0.1~3.2 mg/kg) but not higher doses of morphine, whereas memantine did not block tolerance.\nCONCLUSIONS: Memantine and dizocilpine interacted differently with morphine, possibly due to different NMDAR binding profiles. The lack of memantine-induced changes in morphine tolerance suggests that memantine may not be a useful adjunct in chronic pain management.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":1.791759469228055,"endowment":1.791759469228055,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"22864944","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W1970267626","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"NIDA NIH HHS","grant_id":"R01 DA003796","title":null}],"total_grants":1,"fwci":0.3169,"citation_percentile":0.58042286,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2014,"count":1},{"year":2015,"count":1},{"year":2018,"count":1},{"year":2020,"count":1},{"year":2021,"count":1}],"oa_status":"green","license":"http://www.springer.com/tdm","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/3777440","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/3777440","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00213-012-2807-9.pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00213-012-2807-9/fulltext.html","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"http://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00213-012-2807-9","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00213-012-2807-9","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22864944","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Pain Mechanisms and Treatments","Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research","Neurotransmitter Receptor Influence on Behavior","Analgesics, Opioid","Animals","Discrimination Learning","Disease Models, Animal","Dizocilpine Maleate","Dose-Response Relationship, Drug","Drug Administration Schedule","Drug Interactions","Drug Tolerance","Excitatory Amino Acid Antagonists","Male","Memantine","Morphine","Pain","Rats","Rats, Sprague-Dawley","Receptors, N-Methyl-D-Aspartate","Receptors, Opioid, mu","Reinforcement Schedule"],"mesh_terms":["Analgesics, Opioid","Animals","Discrimination Learning","Disease Models, Animal","Dose-Response Relationship, Drug","Drug Administration Schedule","Drug Interactions","Drug Tolerance","Male","Memantine","Morphine","Pain","Reinforcement Schedule","Receptors, N-Methyl-D-Aspartate","Dizocilpine Maleate","Rats, Sprague-Dawley","Receptors, Opioid, mu","Excitatory Amino Acid Antagonists","Rats"],"keywords":["Dizocilpine","Morphine","Memantine","Stimulus control","Nociception","Pharmacology","NMDA receptor","Psychology","Stimulus (psychology)","Anesthesia","Neuroscience","Medicine","Receptor","Internal medicine","Psychotherapist"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Reduced inequalities"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-18T22:24:19.107956Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
