Since the etiology of drug dependence is complex and largely unknown, its treatment and prevention have proceeded on a "trial and error" basis with mainly disappointing results. A major alternative would be a task force attack at the cellular level to uncover the molecular basis for the development of drug dependence. Such knowledge would lead to rational, effective, and successful programs, to cure and/or prevent drug dependence. It is the purpose, indeed the objective, of this monograph to provide the scientist with a reference text that provides the basic knowledge and background information that currently defines the chemical and biological basis of drug dependence. The approach being a logical extension of the purpose, the nature of drug dependence and drug abuse must first be clearly defined and characterized. Since many drugs of various chemical formulations induce physical and/or psychic dependence, the characteristics of drug dependence of each pharmacological class of drugs must be described. The importance of quantitative screening tests and procedures for determining drug dependence in man and in animals and the abuse potential of the drug must be understood. Certainly a drug may be defined by its chemical structure as well as by the altered function that follows an interaction with the endogenous receptor. Therefore, the chemical characteristics of such a seemingly disparate group of compounds must be defined and, where possible, correlated with their capacity to induce drug dependence. This relationship may further be viewed through similarities in receptor activity, disposition, and biotransformation as well as detection and identification of these drugs in the biological medium. The foregoing knowledge now allows the presentation of the touchstone of the text, i.e., the theories related to tolerance development and physical dependence. Since these drugs act primarily within the central nervous system, it seemed most logical to include in this section the electrophysiology, neuropathology, teratology, embryolethality, and mutagenicity of these compounds. Finally, full attention to biochemical mechanisms associated with such biological strata as enzymes, proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, neurohumors, lipids, and hormones was explained in relationship to drug dependence. The monograph appropriately ends with a bonus providing insight into theoretical biochemical mechanisms related to physical and/or psychic dependence. The unusually broad nature of the subject matter demanded the expertise that could only be provided through multiple authorship. The group of "super" contributors brought such outstanding backgrounds, knowledge, and experience to bear on their specific chapters that the editorial task was practically reduced to mere proofreading. Of course, regardless of the effort, it is impossible in a multiauthored text to be fully aware of omitted data or to eliminate all duplication of information. Special acknowledgment is made to Ms. Mary Gatsoulis and Earleen Ryan for cheerfully and effectively attending to the mundane tasks of record keeping, letter and manuscript typing, filing, and copying. The absence of such effective assistance certainly would have prevented the final publication of this book. S. J. Mulé H. Brill New York, N. Y. THE EDITORS S. J. Mulé, Ph.D., is Chief of the New York State Narcotic Addiction Control Commission Testing and Research Laboratory, New York. Dr. Mulé received his B.A. degree in Chemistry in 1954 from College of Wooster, Wooster, Ohio; the M.S. degree in Biochemistry and Physiology in 1955 from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey; and the Ph.D. degree in Pharmacology in 1961 from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Dr. Mulé subsequently received postdoctoral training in the Departments of Physiological Chemistry and Pharmacology at the University of Wisconsin. He continued his research at the Addiction Research Center of the National Institute of Mental Health, Lexington, Kentucky. His present research concerns the disposition and biotransformation of narcotic analgesics, the detection and identification of drugs subject to abuse, and the biochemical mechanisms of drug dependence. Dr. Mulé has published extensively in the scientific literature and is a member of pharmacological, chemical, and forensic societies. Henry Brill, M.D., is Director, Pilgrim State Hospital, West Brentwood, Long Island, New York. Dr. Brill is a graduate of Yale College and Yale School of Medicine. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi. As First Deputy Commissioner of the New York State Department of Mental Hygiene, Dr. Brill was instrumental in developing the state's narcotic addiction program and the alcoholic program from 1954 to 1964. He was formerly Vice Chairman of the New York State Narcotic Addiction Control Commission. Since 1971 Dr. Brill has been a member of the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse. Dr. Brill is a diplomate or member of numerous professional societies, among which is the Expert Panel of Drug Dependence of the WHO. He has authored some 50 papers on drug dependence.
