Pharmacokinetic approach in the treatment of cocaine abuse and dependence

Abstract
Pharmacodynamic treatment for cocaine addiction by targeting receptors and transporters in order to affect neurotransmitter systems usually failed or brought only modest improvement in reducing cocaine addiction or overdose symptoms. Therefore other approach such as pharmacokinetic (PK) one has been explored recently. These include enzyme, antibody or vaccine- based treatments aiming to reduce cocaine concentration at the site of action, thereby minimizing any pharmacodynamic effect. Two major pharmacokinetic strategies are currently in development: peripheral blocker and increased drug metabolism. One advantage of PK treatments will be greater acceptance by patients and doctors, as these drugs do not possess psychoactive properties and are not addictive. Efforts are underway after promising results in animal studies, to conduct clinical trials with these substances in humans, which if successful will open a new chapter in treatment of substance abuse, overdose and dependenceBiography
