Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Taurine induced a hyperalgesic state and attenuated morphine analgesia in mice.
Archives internationales de pharmacodynamie et de therapie  •  1984  |  View Paper
It was found that taurine significantly increased the viability of C6 cells treated by morphine , showing the neuroprotective role against morphine-induced neurotoxicity.

The analgesic response to morphine was also reduced by inclusion of taurine in the drinking water.
General pharmacology  •  1993  |  View Paper
The analgesic effect of morphine was antagonized in mice by intracerebroventricular pretreatment with taurine , gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) or glycine and was potentiated by ethylene glycol tetra-acetic acid (EGTA) but not altered by L-glutamate or L-aspartate.
The selective depletion of 45Ca2+ from synaptic vesicles observed with morphine administration was significantly inhibited by taurine injection (1.2 mumol/brain, i.vt.)
These results suggest that antagonism of morphine analgesia by taurine may be caused by blockade of the morphine-induced inhibition of both ATP-dependent synaptosomal 45Ca2+ uptake and changes in synaptic vesicular 45Ca2+ localization, while the antagonism by GABA was not associated with synaptosomal Ca2+.
