Revisiting the rewarding properties and abuse potential of natural compound sinomenine using conditioned place preference (CPP) model in mice / Nur Syamimi Ma’arof ... [et al.]

Sinomenine, derived from Sinomenium acutum, has a chemical structure similar to morphine and shows potential for treating opioid addiction in mice. Despite claims of being nonaddictive, its safety and abuse potential remain underexplored. Conditioned place preference (CPP) approach was used to evalu...

Despite claims of being nonaddictive, its safety and abuse potential remain underexplored. Conditioned place preference (CPP) approach was used to evaluate sinomenine's rewarding properties. ICR mice were divided into five groups, receiving either saline, morphine (8 mg/kg), or sinomenine (50, 100, or 200 mg/kg) where each group was confined to the drug-paired compartments during conditioning phase.

Mice conditioned with morphine showed a significant increase in time spent in the drug-paired compartment from pre-conditioning to post-conditioning, but no significant changes in the number of entries and rearing behaviours. For saline and all sinomenine groups, there were no significant differences in the time spent, number of entries, and rearing behaviours except for sinomenine 200 mg/kg group, which showed a significant increase in rearing behaviours indicating an increase in exploratory behaviours.
