The emergence of this classical, potent drug family has attracted extensive research interest in the field of forensic toxicology; however, information on their psychological and physical dependence is very limited. Herein, we evaluated the rewarding effects of four nitazene analogs using a battery of in vivo experiments, with a positive control drug (isotonitazene). The four test materials, metonitazene, etodesnitazene, metodesnitazene, and flunitazene, were administered to male C57BL/6J mice by i.p. administration at 0.5, 2, 20, and 20 mg/kg, respectively. In comprehensive behavioral observation tests, representative opioid-related physiological and behavioral states, including analgesia, stereotypic circling behavior, hyperlocomotion, and Straub tail response, were observed. A set of conditioned place preference tests revealed that all the four analogs induced palatability in mice. Furthermore, measurements of dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens shell by in vivo microdialysis resulted in significant elevations in all test material-treated groups, suggesting that the nitazenes elicit the rewarding effect through a neural circuit originating from the μ-opioid receptor activation at the ventral tegmental area. Our findings add important data regarding the psychological dependence of nitazenes and highlight the abuse potential of these four materials and other prevailing nitazene analogs.</p>","PeriodicalId":17654,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Toxicological Sciences","volume":"50 1","pages":"33-43"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142950773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exposure to sodium arsenite clearly induced parthanatos in typical cancer cell lines such as HeLa and HT1080 cells, without activation of the apoptotic cascade, including the caspase-3 activation.

In NRA, DPAA significantly activated these signal transduction pathways. Although there were cell-type specificities in susceptibility to DPAA, multivariate clustering analyses classified NRA, rat glioma-derived C6, and two human glioma-derived cell lines, U251MG and 1321N1, into an identical group. These results suggest that DPAA might affect cellular signal transduction preferentially in astrocytes among the diverse types of cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":17654,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Toxicological Sciences","volume":"50 6","pages":"293-308"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144199550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
