Abstract

The development of cross-tolerance to an analgesic effect was observed between two mu-receptor agonists, heroin and fentanyl. Repeated treatments with heroin twice a day for 4 days resulted in a decreased nociceptive effect to fentanyl on day 5. The fentanyl dose-response line shifted to the right, and was considered to be a sign of the development of cross-tolerance. Peripheral treatment with oxytocin did not block the development of heroin-fentanyl cross-tolerance. However, intracerebroventricular administration of oxytocin blocked the development of tolerance, causing a leftward shift in the dose-response curve and supporting the assumption that oxytocin blocks the development of heroin-fentanyl cross-tolerance via CNS mechanisms.
