Abstract
Tolerance was observed after seven daily doses, when the compound's analgesic effect was 14% lower than after the first dose; since brain concentrations did not decrease in parallel, the development of pharmacodynamic tolerance can be suggested. However, pharmacokinetic tolerance is also likely, as brought to light by the data after a dose challenge, given after a 48 h washout period from the 7th dose, showing a lower brain-to-plasma ratio. We also describe the rewarding effect of AH-7921 (conditioned place preference), suggesting a high risk of addiction in humans.
