dc.description.abstractAlcohol addiction or alcoholism constitutes a significant risk factor worldwide for morbidity and mortality. Moxidectin is a recently approved anthelmintic drug, which also activates the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors. The objective of the present study was to examine the impact of moxidectin on rewarding effects of ethanol in the conditioned place preference (CPP) model in mice. In separate experiments, mice were administered intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of moxidectin (5 or 10 mg/kg) before a) acquisition of alcohol-induced CPP, b) each extinction session, and c) alcohol-induced reinstatement of CPP. The present experiments provide consistent data about ethanol place preference in mice (2 g/kg, i.p.), with mice in all tests spending significantly more time on the ethanol-paired side. The acquisition of the CPP response to ethanol was prevented by the administration of moxidectin at a dose of 10 mg/kg. Additionally, moxidectin treatment accelerated the extinction of ethanol CPP when given repeatedly during the extinction phase. Ethanol-induced reinstatement of CPP following an extinction phase was inhibited by moxidectin. Ethanol alone and co-administration with moxidectin did not change locomotor activity and motor coordination. In conclusion, we suggest that moxidectin may be a promising therapeutic candidate for prevention of ethanol-induced addiction and relapse as well as detoxification.en_US
