“Recently, numerous novel compounds and antisense oligodeoxynucleotides targeting sigma receptors have been synthesized and shown to prevent the behavioral toxicity and psychomotor stimulant effects of cocaine in animals.”

“To further validate that the anti-cocaine effects were achieved by interfering with cocaine's access to sigma receptors, antisense oligodeoxynucleotides against sigma(1) receptors were shown to attenuate the convulsive and locomotor stimulatory effects of cocaine.”
“To further validate the hypothesis that the anti-cocaine effects of the novel ligands involved antagonism of sigma receptors, an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide against sigma1 receptors was also shown to significantly attenuate the convulsive and locomotor stimulatory effects of cocaine.”

“treatment with A-oligo (0.001-1 microg/mouse) dose-dependently attenuated the cocaine (10 mg/kg, s.c.)-induced place preference, although mismatched oligodeoxynucleotide (1 microg/mouse, i.c.v.)”
