Rats become acutely tolerant to cathine after amphetamine or cathinone administration.

The drug discrimination paradigm was used to evaluate in rats the ability of the discriminate response to either 0.8 mg/kg d-amphetamine or 0.8 mg/kg l-cathinone to generalize to 2.4-6.0 mg/kg of the active cathinone metabolite d-norpseudoephedrine,…

Effect of learned behavior upon conditioned place preference to cathinone.

The purpose of this study was to examine whether first training rats to discriminate the stimulus cues produced by an indirect dopamine agonist, cathinone, would influence a subsequent test of preference. The conditioned place preference (CPP)…

Dopaminergic nature of acute cathine tolerance.

Cathine is a psychoactive constituent in the leaves of the Khat shrub which are habitually ingested for their stimulatory effects in many parts of the world. Rats were trained to discriminate the stimulus effect of intraperitoneally administered 4.8…

Effect of learned behavior upon conditioned place preference to cathinone.

Dopaminergic nature of acute cathine tolerance.

Place preference for the psychostimulant cathinone is blocked by pretreatment with a dopamine release inhibitor.

Psychostimulant-induced activity is attenuated by two putative dopamine release inhibitors.
