Waeiss, Robert A. published the artcileTherapeutic challenges for concurrent ethanol and nicotine consumption: naltrexone and varenicline fail to alter simultaneous ethanol and nicotine intake by female alcohol-preferring (P) rats, Quality Control of 375815-87-5, the publication is Psychopharmacology (Heidelberg, Germany) (2019), 236(6), 1887-1900, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Rationale and objectives: Simultaneous alc. and nicotine consumption occurs in the majority of individuals with alc. use disorder (AUD) and nicotine dependence. Varenicline (Var) is used to assist in the cessation of nicotine use, while naltrexone (Nal) is the standard treatment for AUD. Despite evidence that ethanol (EtOH) and nicotine (NIC) co-use produces unique neuroadaptations, preclin. research has focused on the effects of pharmacotherapeutics on a single reinforcer. The current experiments examined the effects of Var and Nal on EtOH, NIC, or EtOH+NIC intake. Methods: Animals were randomly assigned to one of four drinking conditions of 24-h access to a three-bottle choice paradigm, one of which always contained water. Drinking conditions were water only, 0.07 and 0.14 mg/mL NIC (NIC only), 15% and 30% EtOH (EtOH only), or 15% and 30% EtOH with 0.14 mg/mL NIC (EtOH+NIC). Results: Var reduced maintenance and relapse NIC intake but had no effect on EtOH or EtOH+NIC drinking. Conversely, Nal reduced EtOH maintenance and relapse drinking, but had no effect on NIC or EtOH+NIC drinking. Discussion: The results indicate the standard pharmacol. treatments for nicotine dependence and AUD were effective at reducing consumption of the targeted reinforcer but neither reduced EtOH+NIC co-use/abuse. These findings suggest that co-abuse may promote unique neuroadaptations that require models of polysubstance abuse to develop pharmacotherapeutics to treat AUD and nicotine dependence.

Pujeri, Sudhakar S. published the artcileStress degradation studies on varenicline tartrate and development of a validated stability-indicating HPLC method, COA of Formula: C17H19N3O6, the publication is Scientia Pharmaceutica (2012), 80(1), 115-126, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

A simple, rapid, and stability-indicating reversed-phase liquid chromatog. method was developed for the assay of varenicline tartrate (VRT) in the presence of its degradation products generated from forced decomposition studies. The HPLC separation was achieved on a C₁₈ Inertsil column (250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d. particle size is 5 μm) employing a mobile phase consisting of ammonium acetate buffer containing trifluoroacetic acid (0.02 M; pH 4) and acetonitrile in gradient program mode with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min^-1. The UV detector was operated at 237 nm while column temperature was maintained at 40°. The developed method was validated as per ICH guidelines with respect to specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, robustness, and limit of quantification. The method was found to be simple, specific, precise, and accurate. Selectivity of the proposed method was validated by subjecting the stock solution of VRT to acidic, basic, photolysis, oxidative, and thermal degradation The calibration curve was found to be linear in the concentration range of 0.1-192 μg/mL^-1 (R² = 0.9994). The peaks of degradation products did not interfere with that of pure VRT. The utility of the developed method was examined by analyzing the tablets containing VRT. The results of anal. were subjected to statistical anal.

Cousin, Margot A. published the artcileLarval zebrafish model for FDA-approved drug repositioning for tobacco dependence treatment, Application of 7,8,9,10-Tetrahydro-6H-6,10-methanoazepino[4,5-g]quinoxaline (2R,3R)-2,3-dihydroxysuccinate, the publication is PLoS One (2014), 9(3), e90467/1-e90467/10, 10 pp., database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Cigarette smoking remains the most preventable cause of death and excess health care costs in the United States, and is a leading cause of death among alcoholics. Long-term tobacco abstinence rates are low, and pharmacotherapeutic options are limited. Repositioning medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may efficiently provide clinicians with new treatment options. We developed a drug-repositioning paradigm using larval zebrafish locomotion and established predictive clin. validity using FDA-approved smoking cessation therapeutics. We evaluated 39 physician-vetted medications for nicotine-induced locomotor activation blockade. We further evaluated candidate medications for altered ethanol response, as well as in combination with varenicline for nicotine-response attenuation. Six medications specifically inhibited the nicotine response. Among this set, apomorphine and topiramate blocked both nicotine and ethanol responses. Both pos. interact with varenicline in the Bliss Independence test, indicating potential synergistic interactions suggesting these are candidates for translation into Phase II clin. trials for smoking cessation.

Oncken, Cheryl published the artcileEfficacy and safety of the novel selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist, varenicline, for smoking cessation, Application In Synthesis of 375815-87-5, the publication is Archives of Internal Medicine (2006), 166(15), 1571-1577, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

The selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist, varenicline tartrate, represents a novel type of therapy for smoking cessation. This study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 4 varenicline dose regimens, 2 with progressive dosing over the first week (eg, titrated) and 2 with a fixed dosing schedule (eg, non-titrated), for promoting smoking cessation. This multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study randomized healthy smokers (aged 18-65 years) to varenicline tartrate, 0.5 mg twice daily nontitrated (n = 129), 0.5 mg twice daily titrated (n = 130), 1.0 mg twice daily nontitrated (n = 129), 1.0 mg twice daily titrated (n = 130), or placebo (n = 129) for 12 wk to aid in smoking cessation. A 40-wk follow-up period assessed long-term efficacy. The primary efficacy measures were the carbon monoxide-confirmed 4-wk continuous quit rates by pooled dosage group for weeks 4 through 7 and 9 through 12 and the continuous abstinence rates for weeks 9 through 52. Weeks 9 through 12 continuous quit rates were greater in the 1.0-mg group (49.4%) and the 0.5-mg group (44.0%) vs placebo (11.6%; P < .001 vs both doses). Weeks 9 through 52 abstinence rates were greater in the 1.0-mg group (22.4%; P < .001) and the 0.5-mg group (18.5%; P < .001) vs placebo (3.9%). Varenicline was generally well tolerated, with nausea occurring in 16% to 42% of varenicline-treated subjects. Reports of nausea were lower for the titrated vs nontitrated dosing and infrequently led to medication discontinuation. Varenicline tartrate, 0.5 mg and 1.0 mg twice daily, is efficacious for smoking cessation.

Brunner, Joseph I. published the artcilePharmacological Validation of Candidate Causal Sleep Genes Identified in an N2 Cross, COA of Formula: C17H19N3O6, the publication is Journal of Neurogenetics (2011), 25(4), 167-181, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Despite the substantial impact of sleep disturbances on human health and the many years of study dedicated to understanding sleep pathologies, the underlying genetic mechanisms that govern sleep and wake largely remain unknown. Recently, the authors completed large-scale genetic and gene expression analyses in a segregating inbred mouse cross and identified candidate causal genes that regulate the mammalian sleep-wake cycle, across multiple traits including total sleep time, amounts of rapid eye movement (REM), non-REM, sleep bout duration, and sleep fragmentation. Here the authors describe a novel approach toward validating candidate causal genes, while also identifying potential targets for sleep-related indications. Select small-mol. antagonists and agonists were used to interrogate candidate causal gene function in rodent sleep polysomnog. assays to determine impact on overall sleep architecture and to evaluate alignment with associated sleep-wake traits. Significant effects on sleep architecture were observed in validation studies using compounds targeting the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M3 subunit (Chrm3) (wake promotion), nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha4 subunit (Chrna4) (wake promotion), dopamine receptor D5 subunit (Drd5) (sleep induction), serotonin 1D receptor (Htr1d) (altered REM fragmentation), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (Glp1r) (light sleep promotion and reduction of deep sleep), and calcium channel, voltage-dependent, T type, alpha 1I subunit (Cacna1i) (increased bout duration of slow wave sleep). Taken together, these results show the complexity of genetic components that regulate sleep-wake traits and highlight the importance of evaluating this complex behavior at a systems level. Pharmacol. validation of genetically identified putative targets provides a rapid alternative to generating knock out or transgenic animal models, and may ultimately lead towards new therapeutic opportunities.

Rollema, Hans published the artcileVarenicline has antidepressant-like activity in the forced swim test and augments sertraline’s effect, SDS of cas: 375815-87-5, the publication is European Journal of Pharmacology (2009), 605(1-3), 114-116, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Varenicline, an α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist developed as a smoking cessation aid, showed antidepressant-like activity in the forced swim test in two mouse strains. In addition, a low varenicline dose significantly enhanced the effects of moderately active doses of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor sertraline. These findings are consistent with the notion that reducing α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor activity either by antagonists or by partial agonists that can partially activate or desensitize acetylcholine receptors is associated with antidepressant-like properties. These data suggest that varenicline may have antidepressant potential and can, when combined, augment antidepressant responses of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

The pharmacol. properties and pharmacokinetic profile of the α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) partial agonist varenicline provide an advantageous combination of free brain levels and functional potencies at the target receptor that for a large part explain its efficacy as a smoking cessation aid. Since α4β2 and other nAChR subtypes play important roles in mediating central processes that control reward, mood, cognition and attention, there is interest in examining the effects of selective nAChR ligands such as varenicline in preclin. animal models that assess these behaviors. Here we describe results from studies on varenicline’s effects in animal models of addiction, depression, cognition and attention and discuss these in the context of recently published preclin. and preliminary clin. studies that collected data on varenicline’s effects on mood, cognition and alc. abuse disorder. Taken together, the preclin. and the limited clin. data show beneficial effects of varenicline, but further clin. studies are needed to evaluate whether the preclin. effects observed in animal models are translatable to the clinic.

Kurosawa, Toshiki published the artcileInvolvement of Proton-Coupled Organic Cation Antiporter in Varenicline Transport at Blood-Brain Barrier of Rats and in Human Brain Capillary Endothelial Cells, Application of 7,8,9,10-Tetrahydro-6H-6,10-methanoazepino[4,5-g]quinoxaline (2R,3R)-2,3-dihydroxysuccinate, the publication is Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (2017), 106(9), 2576-2582, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Varenicline is a selective partial α₄β₂ nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist, which is used to help achieve smoking cessation. Here, we investigated varenicline transport at the blood-brain barrier by means of in vivo microdialysis, in situ brain perfusion, and brain efflux index measurements in rats, and in vitro uptake studies in human brain capillary endothelial cells. Microdialysis demonstrated that varenicline is actively transported from blood to brain in rats. Blood-to-brain uptake transport of varenicline, as measured by the in situ brain perfusion technique, was strongly inhibited by diphenhydramine, a potent inhibitor of proton-coupled organic cation (H⁺/OC) antiporter. However, brain efflux index study showed that brain-to-blood efflux transport of varenicline was not inhibited by diphenhydramine. In human brain capillary endothelial cells, varenicline was taken up time- and concentration-dependently. The uptake was dependent on an oppositely directed proton gradient, but was independent of extracellular sodium and membrane potential. The uptake was inhibited by a metabolic inhibitor, and by substrates of H⁺/OC antiporter, but not by substrates or inhibitors of OCTs, OCTNs, PMAT, and MATE1, which are known organic cation transporters. The present results suggest that the H⁺/OC antiporter contributes predominantly to varenicline uptake at the blood-brain barrier.
