Ethanol drinking at adulthood is sensitive to S1-R antagonism and is promoted by binge ethanol self-administration at adolescence. Drug Alcohol Depend 2024; 260:111338. [PMID: 38838478 DOI: 10.1016/j.drugalcdep.2024.111338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Binge drinking at adolescence is a risk factor for problematic alcohol (ethanol) consumption later in life, yet the murine studies that modelled this phenomenon via ethanol self-administration have provided mixed findings. Antagonism of the sigma-1 receptor (S1-R) system at adolescence modulates ethanol's motivational effects and intake. It is still unknown, however, whether this antagonism would protect against enhanced ethanol intake at adulthood after adolescent binge ethanol exposure. METHODS Exp. 1 and 2 tested adults male or female Wistar rats -exposed or not to ethanol self-administration at adolescence (postnatal days 31-49; nine 2-hour sessions of access to 8-10% ethanol)- for ethanol intake using 24-h two-bottle choice test (Exp. 1) or time restricted, single-bottle, tests (Exp. 2). Experiments 2-5 evaluated, in adolescent or adult rats, the effects of the S1-R antagonist S1RA on ethanol intake and on ethanol-induced conditioned taste or place aversion. Ancillary tests (e.g., novel object recognition, ethanol-induced locomotor activity) were also conducted. RESULTS Adolescent ethanol exposure promoted ethanol consumption at both the restricted, single-bottle, and at the two-bottle choice tests conducted at adulthood. S1RA administration reduced ethanol intake at adulthood and facilitated the development of ethanol-induced taste (but not place) aversion. CONCLUSIONS S1RA holds promise for lessening ethanol intake after chronic and substantial ethanol exposure in adolescence that results in heightened ethanol exposure at adulthood. This putative protective effect of S1-R antagonism may relate to S1RA exacerbating the aversive effects of this drug.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a complex psychiatric disease characterized by high alcohol intake as well as hyperkatifeia and hyperalgesia during withdrawal. A role for Sigma-1 receptors (Sig-1Rs) in the rewarding and reinforcing effects of alcohol has started to emerge in recent years, as rat studies have indicated that Sig-1R hyperactivity may result in excessive alcohol drinking. Sig-1R studies in mice are very scarce, and its potential role in alcohol-induced hyperalgesia is also unknown. METHODS In this study, we investigated the role of Sig-1R in alcohol drinking and associated hyperalgesia in male mice, using an intermittent access 2-bottle choice model of heavy drinking. RESULTS The Sig-1R antagonist BD-1063 was found dose dependently to reduce both alcohol intake and preference, without affecting either water or sucrose intake, suggesting that the effects are specific for alcohol. Notably, the ability of BD-1063 to suppress ethanol intake correlated with the individual baseline levels of alcohol drinking, suggesting that the treatment was more efficacious in heavy drinking animals. In addition, BD-1063 reversed alcohol-induced hyperalgesia during withdrawal, assessed using an automatic Hargreaves test, without affecting thermal sensitivity in alcohol-naïve animals or locomotor activity in either group. CONCLUSIONS These data show that Sig-1R antagonism dose-dependently reduced ethanol consumption in heavy drinking mice as well as its efficacy in reducing alcohol-induced hyperalgesia. These findings provide a foundation for the development of novel treatments for AUD and associated pain states.

Abstract
![]()
In
this paper, the benzo-cracking approach was applied to the potent
sigma1 (σ1) receptor antagonist 1 to
afford the less conformationally constrained 1,3-dioxane derivatives 2 and 3. To evaluate the effect of the increase
in the distance between the two hydrophobic structural elements that
flank the basic function, the cis and trans diastereomers of 4 and 5 were also prepared
and studied. Compounds 2 and 3 showed affinity
values at the σ1 receptor significantly higher than
that of the lead compound 1. In particular, 3 displayed unprecedented selectivity over the σ2 receptor, the phencyclidine site of the NMDA receptor, and opioid
receptor subtypes, as well as over the dopamine transporter. Docking
results supported the structure–activity relationship studies.
Due to its interesting biological profile, derivative 3, selected for an in vivo study in a validated preclinical
model of binge eating, was able to counteract the overeating of palatable
food only in binging rats, without affecting palatable food intake
in the control group and anxiety-like and depression-related behaviors
in female rats. This result strengthened the involvement of the σ1 receptor in the compulsive-like eating behavior and supported
the σ1 receptor as a promising target for the management
of eating disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ethanol use during adolescence is a significant health problem, yet the pharmacological treatments to reduce adolescent binge drinking are scarce. The present study assessed, in male and female adolescent Wistar rats, if the sigma-1 receptor (S1-R) antagonists S1RA or BD-1063 disrupted ethanol drinking. METHODS Three times a week, for two weeks, the rats received the S1-R antagonists. Thirty min later they were exposed, for 2 h, to a bottle of 8% or 10 % v/v ethanol. A 24 h, two-bottle, ethanol intake test was conducted after termination of these procedures. A subset of these rats was tested for recognition memory via the novel object recognition test. RESULTS The rats given 64 mg/kg S1RA drank, in each binge session, significantly less than vehicle counterparts. Male rats given 4 or 16 mg/kg S1RA drank significantly less than those given 0 mg/kg in session 3 or in session 1 and 2, respectively; whereas female rats given 4 or 16 mg/kg drank significantly less than females given 0 mg/kg in session 2-5 or in sessions 2-6, respectively. Administration of 32 mg/kg, but not of 2 or 8 mg/kg, BD-1063 suppressed, across sessions, ethanol drinking. S1-R antagonism reduced absolute ethanol drinking at the two-bottle choice post-test. Recognition memory was not affected by the ethanol exposure. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that S1-R antagonists may be promising targets to prevent increases in ethanol intake at adolescence. The persistent effect of S1-R antagonism in free-choice drinking suggests that modulation of the S1-R is altering plastic effects associated with ethanol exposure.
