UNDERLYING MECHANISMS FOR PHARMACOTHERAPY alter the neurobiology of reinforcement
or reward from the drug attenuate the negative reinforcing
effects of withdrawal from and craving for the drug
Ameliorate comorbid psychiatric vulnerabilities that co-occur and that can interfere with recovery.

METHAMPHETAMINEEFFECT increases extracellular levels of
monoamines both by- blocking presynaptic reuptake - Stimulating the release of
catecholamines through the disruption of vesicular storage

6
REWARDING EFFECT OF METHAMPHETAMINE mediated by neurotransmitter systems
including dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine
dopaminergic system a favoured target for pharmacotherapy

7
NEUROADAPTATIONS Initial positive and rewarding subjective
effects of methamphetamine dull in quality with repeated use of the drug, signalling development of a series of neuroadaptations
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
8
NEUROADAPTATIONS Koob and Le Moal [16] characterise this
process as the increasing recruitment of anti-reward processes, including
- hypoactivity in the dopaminergic system- alterations in hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis functioning

ANTAGONISTS block the action of the agonist to
attenuate or eliminate the positive reinforcing effects of acute methamphetamine intoxication.
compete with endogenous monoamines but have no intrinsic activity at the receptor site
Naltrexone in other addiction

13
AGONISTS bind to and trigger responses from
receptors involved in the addiction process, often mimicking the action of monoamines involved in the reinforcement, withdrawal symptoms and motivational aspects of methamphetamine or amphetamine use
promote early abstinence by providing a modest level of subjective effects but may have their greatest impact in minimizing withdrawal and negative affective symptoms.

15
NALTREXONE
an opioid receptor antagonist opioid receptors partially modulate
dopaminergic effects and may act as a relevant pharmacological target.
encouraging but await confirmation in several clinical trials that are currently underway

16
MIXED DOPAMINE AND SEROTONIN ANTAGONIST Risperidone in small samples of
methamphetamine-dependent adults showed acceptability and decreases in weekly methamphetamine use
quetiapine and risperidone equally reduced bipolar symptoms and drug cravings, with reductions in cravings associating with reductions in stimulant use
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
17
MIXED DOPAMINE AND SEROTONIN ANTAGONIST However, in non-dependent volunteers
in the human laboratory, neither haloperidol nor risperidone attenuated the euphorigenic effects of methamphetamine
dampening rationale for further evaluation of dopamine antagonists.

18
ARIPIPERAZOLE iatrogenic effect Exacerbation of drug use Attenuate psychotic symptoms
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
20
AGONIST THERAPIES produce behavioral and neurobiological
effects that are comparable or identical with the drug of addiction

21
DEXAMPHETAMINE
Increase extracellular levels of dopamine through a carrier mediated exchange at presynaptic vesicles.
In a small unblinded randomised trial, Shearer demonstrated initial safety and feasibility of dexamphetamine replacement therapy (60 mg/day) for injecting amphetamine dependent individuals.
The study was underpowered to detect treatment differences, but no serious adverse events were observed
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
22
METHYLPHENIDATE Additional support for an agonist approach
is provided by Tiihonen 20-week, randomised, double-blind,
placebo-controlled trial of aripiprazole, methylphenidate or placebo among participants dependent upon injection use of amphetamine
participants assigned to the 54 mg/day slow-release methylphenidate condition (n = 17) had significantly fewer amphetamine-positive urine samples than placebo treated patients (n = 19; odds ratio = 3.77; 95% confidence interval 1.55, 9.18).

23
MODAFINILE nonamphetamine-type stimulant with
wake-promoting properties and cognitive-enhancing effects
increases dopamine availability in nucleus accumbens
Despite disappointing findings, some enthusiasm still exists for modafinil in its current form or one of its enantiomers, R-modafinil, as a treatment for psychostimulant dependence
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
24
BUPROPION
Although not considered an agonist, bupropion functions as a mild stimulant and antidepressant.
Bupropion is a non-selective inhibitor of the dopamine and norepinephrine transporters
also acts as an antagonist at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
Bupropion increases dopamine transmission in both the nucleus accumbens and the prefrontal cortex
encouraging but await confirmation

IN SUM dopamine-enhancing medications have
demonstrated the most consistent effects on reducing methamphetamine use when evaluated in placebo controlled randomized trials.
One of the challenges to continued work using this strategy is that pure agonists have abuse liability, which elicits concerns that limit impact
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
27
SEROTONERGIC MEDICATIONS marketed serotonin-specific reuptake
inhibitors may be ineffective for treating methamphetamine dependence.
compounds in development that have selective activity at specific serotonergic receptors may be efficacious approaches.
Indeed, one such medication, mirtazapine, has demonstrated some promise
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
28
MIRTAZAPINE is a pharmacologically distinctive
antidepressant with sedative and anxiolytic properties that enhances both noradrenergic and serotonergic activity.
Its actions on the serotonergic system are different from those of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, including enhanced transmission of 5-HT1A receptors and blockade of 5-HT2 and 5-HT3

30
GABA SYSTEM interacts with dopaminergic processes,
and its activation exerts an inhibitory effect on the reward system.
This feature suggests that GABA agents may have some efficacy in attenuating the reinforcing effects of stimulants.
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
31
VIGABATRINE Increases brain GABA Attenuate cocaine, nicotine, heroine,
alcohol and amphetamine induced increases in extracellular nucleus accumbens dopamine as well as drug seeking behaviors associated with this biochemical changes in animals
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
32
GABAERGIC AGENTS Gabapentine has no effects on
methamphetamine use, treatment retention or drug craving.
topiramate appeared to facilitate abstinence during the second half of the trial
Baclofen, tiagabine have shown some promise In preclinical studies and early clinical studies
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
34
TRICYCLIC ANTIDEPRESSANTS Some positive results in early treatment
with minimally drug dependent patients Little or no use inducing abstinence in
moderate or severe cases Desipramine as most effective
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
35
DILANTINE One study found 300mg a day of
dilantine reduced cocaine use This study requires furthur replication
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
36
COCAINE VACCINE Cocaine binding antibodies Reduce the reinforcing effects of cocaine in animal models Catalytic antibodies Accelerate the hydrolysis of cocaine
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
37
DISULFIRAM Inhibitor of dopamine beta
dehydroxylate enzyme Increases level of dopamine by slowing
the breakdown of synaptic dopamine Increase cocaine levels several fold Co administration of cocaine and
disulfiram make more negative response including anxiety, restlessness and paranoia so decreases cocaine use

39
COMPLEX DISEASE Numerous pharmacotherapies have
been assessed in randomized, placebo-controlled trials but most have failed to demonstrate efficacy
Dependence on long-acting stimulants represent a complex disease of staged neuroplasticity involving multiple brain systems
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
40
OPTIMAL PHARMACOLOGICAL TARGETS dopaminergic system—the principle
focus in addiction medication research—is dependent on competent functioning of the GABA system and cholinergic interneurons
Determining optimal pharmacological targets is difficult

41
AGONIST REPLACEMENT THERAPIES Although the preponderance of findings
from clinical trials have been negative, not all results have been disappointing.
Agonist replacement therapies show some promise.
Concerns, however, have been raised regarding public health implications of widespread implementation of this strategy.
Additionally, agonist therapies will likely require significant behavioural support and oversight in order to deliver robust public health benefits
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
42
BUPROPION NIDA has completed a second,
confirmatory trial of bupropion, and if results are similar to existing studies, support would exist for use of the medication as a pharmacotherapy.
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
43
NOVEL MECHANISMS Shoptaw and Heinzerling are assessing
ibudilast, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor that may attenuate the cascade of methamphetamine-induced glial activation and release of cytokines upon initial abstinence.
A Phase I trial is being completed Phase II trial of the compound not
finished
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
44
MIRTAZAPINE demonstrated promise in a preliminary
study being assessed in a larger trial
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
45
VARENICLINE a partial agonist at alpha-4, beta-2 nicotinic
acetylcholine receptors is being examined as a pharmacotherapy following promising pilot data and encouraging results with both cocaine and alcohol
evidence suggests involvement of the cholinergic system in the neurochemical effects of methamphetamine use the reinstatement of methamphetamine MA-seeking in animal models
reduced subjective effects of methamphetamine in a human laboratory study
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
46
N-ACETYLCYSTEINE Promising preclinical and human
laboratory studies with cocaine have stimulated interest in N-acetylcysteine as a pharmacotherapy for methamphetamine dependence, though a Phase II trial is years away.
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
47
D3 RECEPTOR NIDA has recently signalled an interest
in a dopamine D3 receptor for cocaine dependence
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
48
BUSPIRONE Two randomized controlled trials will
evaluate buspirone as a relapse prevention treatment among cocaine-dependent patients being discharged from inpatient treatment facilities
M Yassini MD.yazd medical sciences university. [email protected]
49
FINAL WORD After over 20 years of concerted effort
to develop a broadly effective medication for MA dependence, no candidate has emerged.
This highlights the need for new research methodologies, better integration between basic and clinical sciences and improved collaboration between government, industry and academic researchers.
