A new type of morphine implantation pellet for the rapid induction of physical dependence in mice can be prepared by absorbing 7 mg morphine sulphate onto molecular sieves Type 4A (BDH). The small cylindrical pellets can be implanted subcutaneously without trauma and the need for anaesthesia, and are easily removed at any time from the animals. The peak of physical dependence is reached 24 h after implantation, and mortality is negligible. Withdrawal symptoms can be precipitated by intraperitoneal injection of naloxone, without removal of the pellet, and up to 70% of a group of mice show the characteristic urge to jump off a raised platform. This type of pellet has definite advantages over some other sustained-release preparations used in studies on morphine addiction in small animals.
