Role of endogenous opioids and histamine in morphine induced emesis.
The role of opioid and histaminergic system in morphine induced emesis was investigated in dogs. Morphine (25 micrograms, icv) consistently evoked emesis with an average latency of 195 +/- 29 sec which was fully accounted for by an action on the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) as its ablation rendered animals refractory to vomiting. Intraventricular pretreatment with opioid antagonist naloxone, histamine H1 antagonist mepyramine and H2 antagonists metiamide and cimetidine afforded protection to icv morphine emesis. The CSF histamine concentration was significantly raised 5 min after icv morphine administration. The results suggest that both endogenous opioid and histamine are involved in morphine emesis. Naloxone in high doses (1600 micrograms, icv) elicited emesis which was not blocked by CTZ ablation confirming our earlier report.

Experimental antiulcer drugs. 1. Indole-1-alkanamides and pyrrole-1-alkanamides.
The synthesis and gastric antisecretory activity of a series of indole-1-alkanamides and pyrrole-1-alkanamides are presented. A marked elevation of the pH of the gastric secretions of the rat was observed after oral administration of 100 mg/kg of 2,3-dimethylindole-1-acetamide (2), -1-propionamide (8), and -1-butyramide (13). Replacement of either methyl group by a hydrogen atom or an ethyl radical resulted in greatly diminished activity. In the acetamide and propionamide series the 3-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl (14 and 15) derivatives exhibited activity but only when administered by the subcutaneous route. 2,3-Dimethylindole (18) was active and 2,3,4,5-tetramethylpyrrole-1-acetamide was moderately active. A number of the activ compounds were tested in the mouse mydriasis test for anticholinergic activity and found to be inactive. They were also found to be inactive in blocking histamine-induced acid secretion in the dog.
