    Notes: Summary In eight normal volunteers, the combination of ethanol (0.5 g/kg) and diazepam (10 mg) administered orally produced a greater decrease in motor performance on a pursuit rotor than diazepam alone. The pharmacologic effect of diazepam was enhanced by 73% and this potentiation was associated with significantly greater diazepam concentrations (p〈0.01) than after diazepam alone. The failure to observe any increase in the concentrations of the principal metabolite, N-desmethyl diazepam, during the period of enhanced pharmacologic effect precludes any change in the demethylating metabolic process as being responsible. The data suggest (0.10〉p〉0.05) a trend to a smaller volume of distribution of diazepam when ethanol is administered prior to diazepam ingestion. The subjects showed acute tolerance to the effects of diazepam. Lower plasma concentrations on the ascending side of the plasma diazepam concentration versus time profile were linked with the same pharmacologic responses associated with a greater drug concentration on the descending portion, of the same curve.

    Notes: Summary We have studied the interaction of viqualine, a 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) uptake inhibitor, with ethanol in 16 healthy men aged 20 to 34 years. The subjects were randomly assigned to receive ethanol dosed to maintain blood alcohol concentrations of 17–22 mmol · l−1 (n=8) or orange juice (n=8) on each of two test days one week apart and preceded, in random order, by 3 days of viqualine 75 mg bd or placebo. Ethanol had no effect on steady-state viqualine concentrations or the inhibition of 5-HT uptake. Viqualine did not affect acetaldehyde concentrations or cause an aversive alcohol-sensitizing reaction. The deleterious effects of ethanol on word recall, manual tracking, body sway, and self-ratings of intoxication, sedation, and performance were not modified by the presence of viqualine. Within each beverage group performances and self-ratings on viqualine and placebo days were not different. The first dose of viqualine was associated with transient nausea. Viqualine and ethanol do not interact kinetically or dynamically on the variables examined in this study.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of the 5-HT3 antagonist ondansetron on ethanol self-administration was examined in a limited access paradigm. Acute administration of ondansetron (0.01 and 0.1 mg/kg) reduced ethanol intake in male Wistar rats by 35%, whilst water intake was unaffected. Both a lower (0.001 mg/kg) and higher dose (1 mg/kg) of ondansetron failed to modify ethanol consumption. Ondansetron did not, however, alter the pharamacokinetic profile of an orally administered dose of ethanol (1 g/kg) over the same dose range. To examine the generality of these findings and to determine if tolerance would develop to the suppressant effects of ondansetron on ethanol intake, male C57BL/6 mice were treated with ondansetron (0.001, 0.01 and 0.1 mg/kg) over 22 days, 30 min prior to scheduled access to ethanol. Both 0.01 and 0.1 mg/kg doses reduced ethanol intake; however, water intake was not altered by either dose. This finding confirms and extends the generality of the effects of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists on ethanol intake across different species and different paradigms of ethanol consumption. More importantly, the present study shows that the reduction in ethanol intake induced by ondansetron was maintained even after a prolonged period of treatment and is not due to an alteration in the absorption or metabolism of ethanol.
