Aim: To evaluate the safety, effect on breastfeeding and efficacy of a combination of pethidine and levallorphan (Pethilorfan) for pain relief during labor.

Methods: We compared maternal or neonatal morbidities, suckling difficulties in newborns and breastfeeding rates between 177 women who received 50-200 mg (as pethidine) of Pethilorfan during labor (Pethilorfan group) and 354 women who delivered their infants without analgesic drugs immediately before or after each woman in the Pethilorfan group (control group) from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2016. We performed univariate and multivariate analyses for comparison between the two groups.

Rats were trained to discriminate 4-h pretreatment with 10 mg/kg morphine and 15-min pretreatment with 0.3 mg/kg naltrexone (morphine-->naltrexone) from pretreatment with saline and 0.3 mg/kg naltrexone (saline-->naltrexone).

In C6 glioma cells stably expressing a homogeneous population of the cloned rat mu opioid receptor, the binding affinities of opioid agonists and subsequent activation of G protein were examined. Opioid receptor number in membranes of these cells was high (10-30 pmol/mg protein [3H]diprenorphine binding sites). Opioids were found to bind to the receptor with high affinity [Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-(Me)Phe-Gly-ol (DAMGO) 0.

Airway opioid receptors mediate inhibition of cough and reflex bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs.

J Pharmacol Exp Ther

February 1990

Pharmacological Laboratory, AB Draco, Lund, Sweden.

Effects of opioids and opioid antagonists on citric acid-induced cough and reflex bronchoconstriction have been examined in conscious guinea pigs. Airway reflexes produced by inhaled citric acid are mediated by capsaicin sensitive sensory neurons, and we examined particularly the possibility that inhibitory effects of opioids can be exerted locally in the airway. As expected, systemically administered codeine (1-10 mg/kg), meperidine (3-30 mg/kg) and morphine (1-10 mg/kg) dose-dependently inhibited cough and bronchoconstriction.

The inhibitory effect of morphine, nalorphine, oxymorphone, naloxone, naltrexone, N-methylnaloxone, levorphanol, levallophan, dextrorphan, dextrallophan, levo-methadone, dextro-methadone, pethidine, leu-enkephalin and U-50 488 on the acetylcholine (ACh)-induced contraction of the toad rectus was investigated. The dose-response curves obtained in the absence and presence of increasing concentrations (0.1-3.
