Kappa opioid agonists and antagonists: effects on drinking and urinary output.
Several opioid antagonists have previously been shown to decrease drinking. The data have suggested that this was due to an antagonist action at kappa opioid receptors rather than mu or delta opioid receptors. Kappa agonists have a marked diuretic effect through suppression of vasopressin release. Antagonism of this kappa receptor-mediated effect can be used as an in vivo test for determining kappa-receptor antagonist activity. The potencies of opioid antagonists for antagonizing the diuretic effects of the kappa agonist bremazocine do not correlate directly with the potencies for decreasing deprivation-induced drinking. Further work should investigate the receptor specificity for effects on drinking and kappa-mediated diuresis.
