The immunomodulatory effects of dihydroetorphine were systematically investigated in subchronically treated mice. In a dose-dependent fashion, dihydroetorphine (total doses at 444.5, 889 and 1778 μg/kg) lowered the increase of body weight, decreased the weight of the spleen and thymus, weakened the delayed-type hypersensitivity, reduced the generation of antibody-forming cells, inhibited splenic lymphocyte proliferation induced by concanavalin A and lipopolysaccharide, suppressed the production of interleukin-2 in the supernatant of splenocytes induced by concanavalin A, and depleted the ratio of CD4+ and CD8+ subpopulations. Moreover, the physical dependence on dihydroetorphine was also evaluated to confirm that the immunosuppression was concomitant with the addiction to the drug. These results demonstrate that subchronic treatment with dihydroetorphine dose dependently suppresses both humoral and cell-mediated immune function, and that the immunosuppressive effects of dihydroetorphine are much more potent than those of morphine.
