2021, NeuropharmacologyCitation Excerpt :Ramabadran (1982) reported that MNTX produced dose- and time-dependent hyperalgesia in mice in a hot plate assay, speculating that the drug “might be converted to an active metabolite”. Also, antinociceptive effects of morphine in the hot plate assay can be blocked by MNTX in rats (Bianchi et al., 1982) and in mice (Russell et al., 1982). Illuminating the tenuousness of this assumption especially when disregarding species differences, a study of metabolic differences across species conducted by Kotake et al. (1989) indicated that MNTX was demethylated in mice and more so than in dogs or humans.
