Histamine and the mechanisms of nausea and vomiting: Translating the uncertain pharmacology of cyclizine

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyclizine is a long‐established, short‐acting drug, registered for preventing motion sickness, post‐operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and ‘vomiting of known cause’. The latter is not defined but may include pregnancy and patients receiving palliative care, historically accepted without large, controlled trials.

Benzodiazepines use in primary care England: Prescribing patterns and adverse consequences

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Benzodiazepines (BZDs) are commonly prescribed for anxiety and insomnia but carry risks such as dependence, adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and mortality. Despite deprescribing efforts, the influence of recent prescribing trends, COVID‐19 and adverse outcomes on prescribing patterns in England remains uncertain.

A cAMP-Related Gene Network in Microglia Is Inversely Regulated by Morphine Tolerance and Withdrawal

open access: yesBiological Psychiatry Global Open Science, 2022
Background: Microglia have recently been implicated in opioid dependence and withdrawal. Mu opioid receptors are expressed in microglia, and microglia form intimate connections with nearby neurons.

Rocavorexant, a novel, selective orexin‐1 receptor antagonist: Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics in healthy adults and individuals with opioid use disorder

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Rocavorexant (INDV‐2000), a selective orexin‐1 receptor antagonist, reduces drug self‐administration and anxiety in nonclinical studies. This Phase 1 programme evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of rocavorexant in healthy volunteers and treatment‐seeking individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD).

Initiation of Gabapentin with Opioids and Risk of Respiratory Cardiovascular and Opioid‐Related Adverse Events Following Surgery for Breast Cancer

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Pain is a key determinant of quality‐of‐life following breast cancer surgery, the most common cancer operation in the United States. Gabapentinoids are frequently prescribed for pain management, yet their respiratory, cardiovascular, and opioid‐related adverse effects remain unclear.

Protracted opioid withdrawal behaviors are reduced by nitric oxide inhibition in mice

open access: yesAddiction Neuroscience
Following opioid cessation, patients with opioid use disorder experience physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms. Prolonged negative affect, including anxiety and heightened stress reactivity, continues after physical withdrawal symptoms subside ...

CYP2D6‐Guided Opioid Therapy for Chronic Pain: A Multi‐Center Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The analgesic effectiveness of several opioids depends on CYP2D6‐mediated metabolism to more active opioid receptor agonists. CYP2D6 activity is impacted by genetic variability and medications that inhibit CYP2D6. We conducted a pragmatic, multi‐center, randomized, controlled trial to determine whether CYP2D6‐guided opioid prescribing improves chronic ...

Prevalence, patterns, and predictors of prescribing medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in the Inpatient setting

open access: yesDrug and Alcohol Dependence Reports
Background: There are many barriers to prescribing medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). This study evaluates the prevalence, patterns, and predictors of inpatient MOUD prescribing at discharge to patients with a diagnosis of opioid use/opioid use ...

Single-Cell Glia and Neuron Gene Expression in the Central Amygdala in Opioid Withdrawal Suggests Inflammation With Correlated Gut Dysbiosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Drug-seeking in opioid dependence is due in part to the severe negative emotion associated with the withdrawal syndrome. It is well-established that negative emotional states emerge from activity in the amygdala.
