Rationale: Treatment of the most widely abused drugs, nicotine and alc., is hampered by high rates of relapse. Varenicline tartrate, an α4β2 nicotinic receptor partial agonist, is currently prescribed as a smoking cessation aid. However, there is emerging evidence that it may also modulate alc. seeking and cognitive functioning in rats. Objectives: As preclin. data on alc. taking and relapse are limited, we used a self-administration-reinstatement model to evaluate the effects of varenicline on operant responding for alc. (12%, volume/volume), i.v. nicotine (40 μg/kg/inf.), sucrose (10%, w/v) and on cue-induced relapse to alc. and nicotine seeking in rats. At the cognitive level, we assed varenicline’s effects on 5-choice serial reaction time task (5-CSRTT) performance with a focus on correct responses (attention) and premature responding (impulsivity), modalities that have previously been associated with addictive behavior. Results: Varenicline, at doses of 1.5 and 2.5 mg/kg, reduced alc. and nicotine self-administration and enhanced operant responding for sucrose. At these doses, varenicline reduced cue-induced relapse to alc., but not nicotine seeking. In contrast, at 0.5 mg/kg, varenicline facilitated cue-induced nicotine seeking. Similar to nicotine, varenicline increased premature responding at low doses, but had no effect on any of the other behavioral parameters in the 5-CSRTT. Conclusions: Our data indicate that varenicline specifically reduced responding for nicotine and alc., but not for natural reinforcers such as sucrose. Interestingly, varenicline strongly attenuated cue-induced relapse to alc. seeking, but not nicotine seeking. Varenicline may therefore be a promising aid in the treatment of alc. addiction.
