Morphine elicited a dose-related increase in the duration of phencyclidine (PCP)-induced motor incoordination. In the open field behavioral observations, morphine enhanced the PCP-induced decrease in the number of ambulation and rearing. Morphine potentiated the PCP-induced decrease in body temperature. The LD50 of PCP was significantly decreased in the presence of morphine. An opiate antagonist, naloxone, antagonized the morphine-induced effects without influencing the pharmacological actions of PCP itself. The levels of hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 and cytochrome b5 and the activities of NADPH dehydrogenase and NADPH cytochrome c reductase were unaffected by morphine treatment. The half-lives of PCP in serum and brain were increased by the concurrent administration of morphine. The ratio of the liver weight to body weight and aniline hydroxylase activity in hepatic microsomal fraction were decreased in the morphine-treated group compared with the control group; this is indicative of a possible reduction in the oxidative metabolism of PCP. The results indicate that acute administration of morphine enhances a variety of pharmacological effects of PCP; an inhibition of PCP disposition by morphine may be a mechanism involved in this process.

Development of tolerance to phencyclidine (PCP) was assessed in male ICR mice, using motor incoordination as a parameter. The implantation of a PCP (1-3 mg/day/mouse for 1-5 days)-containing osmotic minipump, induced tolerance, as evidenced by a gradual reduction of the duration of motor incoordination. The degree of tolerance exhibited dose and time dependency. Even after the removal of the PCP pump (1 mg/day/mouse for 5 days), the tolerance remained to the same degree for at least 4 days. The hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450, cytochrome b5 and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphatase (NADPH)-cytochrome c reductase activities were found to be elevated in tolerant mice (2 mg/day/mouse for 5 days). The half-life of PCP in the brains of tolerant mice was likewise decreased. These data indicate a dispositional tolerance for PCP. It appears that the administration of PCP by the osmotic minipump offers a convenient method for inducing PCP tolerance.
