(±)-Pentazocine (PTZ), a non-narcotic analgesic, is used for the clinical management of moderate to severe pain. To study the effect of PTZ on the descending noradrenergic inhibitory system, in the present study we examined the effect of [3H]norepinephrine (NE) uptake by cultured bovine adrenal medullary cells and human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells. (−)-PTZ and (+)-PTZ inhibited [3H]NE uptake by adrenal medullary cells in a concentration-dependent (3 – 100 μM) manner. Eadie-Hofstee analysis of [3H]NE uptake showed that both PTZs caused a significant decrease in the Vmax with little change in the apparent Km, suggesting non-competitive inhibition. Nor-Binaltorphimine and BD-1047, κ-opioid and σ-receptor antagonists, respectively, did not affect the inhibition of [3H]NE uptake induced by (−)-PTZ and (+)-PTZ, respectively. PTZs suppressed specific [3H]nisoxetine binding to intact SK-N-SH cells, but not directly to the plasma membranes isolated from the bovine adrenal medulla. Scatchard analysis of [3H]nisoxetine binding to SK-N-SH cells revealed that PTZs reduced the Bmax without changing the apparent Kd. Western blot analysis showed a decrease in biotinylated cell-surface NE transporter (NET) expression after the treatment with (−)-PTZ. These findings suggest that PTZ inhibits the NET function by reducing the amount of NET in the cell surface membranes through an opioid and σ-receptor–independent pathway.
