Experiment Experiment description Treatment conditions Behavioral tests administered
1 mRNA of adenylyl cyclases in DRG and spinal cord Systemic morphine or saline twice daily for 5 days (15 mg/kg, sc) N/A
2 ST034307 Mechanical and thermal antinociception Vehicle or ST034307 (2.5–10 mg/kg, ip, 100 µl) 15 min post-morphine Von frey and thermal paw withdrawal
3 ST034307 Escalating morphine tolerance Systemic morphine twice daily for 5 days (10 mg/kg on day 1 increasing to 40 mg/kg by day 4, sc, 100µl) + vehicle or ST034307 (2.5–10 mg/kg, ip, 100 µl) 15 min post-morphine, vehicle or ST034307 (2.5–10 mg/kg, ip, 100 µl) on Day 5 Von frey paw withdrawal
