“…First, its antitussive action (at 2.5 mg kg-') was reduced significantly by N-methylnalorphine, which being a quaternary salt of nalorphine, was designed not to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, and which has been shown in mice and guinea-pigs to be excluded from the CNS (Parsons et al, 1986; see also Brown & Goldberg, 1985). Second, whole body radiographic studies in the rat, have shown (Parsons, personal communication) that there was little BW443C in the brain compared to plasma levels within 45 min of an intravenous injection of 7.8 mg kg-'.…”

“…Forty minutes after parturition, mothers whose pups had been removed at delivery were injected with the quaternary opioid antago nist naltrexone methobromide (QN) bilaterally into the VTA. QN has been shown to diffuse slowly from the site of injection in the eNS, and to be resistant to crossing the blood-brain barrier [6,11,78]. Thirty minutes after the test rat was injected, foster stimulus pups were introduced into the cage and the development of maternal behavior was observed.…”

“…In order to localize the action of POEF, we used a quaternary derivative of the opiate antagonist naltrex one, naltrexone methobromide (QN). QN penetrates the blood brain barrier less readily than its tertiary counterpart and can thus be used to discriminate peripheral from central opioid action (2,12). Morphine has both peripheral and central actions, al though the more important locus, for analgesia, is central (9,13).…”
