Nepicastat is a selective dopamine b-hydroxylase (DBH) inhibitor that suppresses cocaine-primed reinstatement of cocaine seeking in rats. We verified whether nepicastat was able to modify the reinforcing and motivational properties of a chocolate solution and to prevent the reinstatement of chocolate seeking in rats. Nepicastat (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) produced a dose-related inhibition of operant self-administration of the chocolate solution in rats under fixed-ratio 10 (FR10) and progressive-ratio schedules , subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at of reinforcement, measures of the reinforcing and motivational properties of the chocolate solution, respectively. The effect of nepica- stat on the reinstatement of chocolate seeking was studied in rats in which lever-responding had been extinguished by removing the chocolate solution for approximately 8 d.

Disulfiram has also been shown to deter cocaine use, even in the absence of an interaction with alcohol, indicating the existence of an ALDH-independent therapeutic mechanism. We hypothesized that disulfiram’s inhibition of dopamine b-hydroxylase (DBH), the catecholamine biosynthetic enzyme that converts dopamine (DA) to norepinephrine (NE) in noradrenergic neurons, underlies the drug’s ability to treat cocaine dependence. We tested the effects of disulfiram on cocaine and food self-administration behavior and drug-primed reinstatement of cocaine seeking in rats. We then compared the effects of disulfiram with those of the selective DBH inhibitor, nepicastat.

  • Supervised Disulfiram As Adjunct to Psychotherapy in Alcoholism Treatment
    Curr Pharm Des. 2010;16(19):2076-90. Supervised disulfiram as adjunct to psychotherapy in alcoholism treatment. Krampe H , Ehrenreich H . Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany. [email protected] Abstract Supervised intake of the alcohol deterrent (AD) disulfiram has proven to be an effective adjunct to biopsychosocial alcoholism therapy for more than 60 years. This article summarizes disulfiram literature between 1937 and 2000 and reviews 13 clinical trials of disulfiram in alcoholism treatment from the years 2000 to 2008. After giving an update of general safety issues and recent case reports concerning safety problems with disulfiram, we focus on the introduction of psychotherapeutic application of supervised disulfiram. The results of our review show: (1) Disulfiram proved to be an effective therapeutic tool in all clinical studies published from 2000 to 2008. (2) Comparisons with other pharmacological agents - naltrexone, acamprosate, topiramate and gamma-hydroxybutyrate - indicate that disulfiram was equal in two trials but superior in the majority of trials. (3) Therapy programs that make use of the psychological effects of supervised disulfiram have - independently of the dose - better results than programs that neglect psychological effects. As a consequence, we suggest that supervised low-dose disulfiram (not more than 100mg/d), will show highest success when it is carefully integrated into psychotherapeutic alcoholism therapy. The major program of psychotherapy with disulfiram comprises the steps "Initial psychoeducation about the effect of disulfiram and its therapeutic implications", "Advanced psychoeducation", and "Disulfiram as coping skill and extension of repertoire of coping skills". As psychological mechanisms of supervised disulfiram we suggest: (1) deterrence; (2) (auto)suggestion; (3) therapeutic ritual around (4) a frequently renewed active decision process; (5) continuous reinforcement of a sober lifestyle and development of new coping skills.

QUERI provides funding for 4 ESP Centers, and each Center has an active University affiliation. Center Directors are recognized leaders in the field of evidence synthesis with close ties to the AHRQ Evidence-based Practice Centers. The ESP is governed by a Steering Committee comprised of participants from VHA Policy, Program, and Operations Offices, VISN leadership, field-based investigators, and others as designated appropriate by QUERI/HSR&D. The ESP Centers generate evidence syntheses on important clinical practice topics. These reports help: · Develop clinical policies informed by evidence; · Implement effective services to improve patient outcomes and to support VA clinical practice guidelines and performance measures; and · Set the direction for future research to address gaps in clinical knowledge.

As drug dependence has become more widely recognized as a clinical disorder and the severity Amphetamine of the problem been fully realized, options available for treatment have grown along with our understanding Cannabis of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the development and persistence of addiction. Treatment has Cocaine progressed from purely social and behavioral approaches to now encompass pharmacotherapy to attempt to Inhalants Nicotine disrupt the mechanisms underlying these disorders. Despite these advances, many forms of addiction lack effective therapeutics and the prevalence of this disorder remains unacceptably high. As a result, a significant effort within the research community has been dedicated to the identification of novel targets for the development of therapeutics based upon our understanding of the pathological processes underlying addiction. The current review aims to provide an overview of existing and clinically trialed pharmacothera- pies for alcohol, opiate, psychostimulant, nicotine, cannabis and inhalant addictions. Further, we discuss some of the potential targets that have been recently indentified from basic studies that may hold promise for the development of novel treatments. © 2009 Elsevier Inc.

Waxmonsky, MD2, William E. Pelham, Jr., PhD, ABPP2 1University of Florida, 2Florida International University Half of families initiating behavioral parent training (BPT) do not improve. Parental ADHD symptoms may reduce the efficacy of BPT (Chronis et al., 2004), but there are no a priori studies of parents meeting full DSM-IV ADHD criteria. Stimulant medication has been shown to improve parenting (Chronis- Tuscano et al., 2008; Waxmonsky et al., in preparation), but it is not known whether there is additional benefit to receiving medication after completing BPT. This study evaluated the efficacy of BPT for parents with ADHD, and also explored the acute effects of medication on parent child interactions. Participants were 12 parents and their children (ages 6-12) who met DSM ADHD criteria. Parents were first stabilized on stimulant medication during weekly visits with study psychiatrists using the ADHD-RS to titrate to optimal dose. Then, parents discontinued medication and were randomly assigned to a 3, 4, or 5 week baseline, during which they provided semiweekly ratings of their impairment (i.e., Sheehan Disability Scale; SDS; Sheehan et al., 1996), parenting (i.e., Alabama Parenting Questionnaire-9; APQ-9; Elgar et al., 2007) and their child’s behavior (i.e., Home Situations Questionnaire; HSQ; Barkley, 1997; Parent Daily Report; PDR; Patterson et al., 1982).
