Possible Interaction: Cocaine and Parthenolide

supplement:

Cocaine

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

We recently reported that the natural cyclic lactone, parthenolide , and related analogs prevent the expression of behavioral effects induced by cocaine in planarians and that parthenolide's γ-lactone ring is required for this effect.

Parthenolide , a compound isolated from the feverfew plant (Tanacetum parthenium), has been shown to substantially inhibit cocaine ’s locomotion effects in a planarian animal model (Pagán et al., 2008).
Results showed that parthenolide at 0.125 mg/kg and 0.250mg/kg significantly blocked cocaine ’s inhibitory effect on DA neuronal firing rate and bursting activity (p< 0.05, two way ANOVA).
We propose that parthenolide might inhibit cocaine ’s effects on VTA DA neurons via its interaction with a common binding site at monoamine transporters.
