| Description: | Data Source: Sanford-Burnham Center for Chemical Genomics (SBCCG) Source Affiliation: Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (SBMRI, San Diego, CA) Network: NIH Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network (MLPCN) Grant Proposal Number: 1 R03 MH089653-01 Assay Provider: Dr. Lawrence Barak, Duke University Medical Center Addiction leading to abuse should be treatable by pharmacological approaches, and programs that identify new drugs to treat methamphetamine abuse address an immediate goal of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) that new approaches are needed for treating METH addiction. Currently, small molecule drug-like compounds are not available for treating METH abuse. Neurotensin receptor 1 (NTR1) peptide agonists produce behaviors that are exactly opposite to the psychostimulant effects observed with methamphetamine abuse, such as hyperactivity, neurotoxicity, psychotic episodes, and cognitive deficits, and repeated administrations of NTR1 agonists do not l |
