Abstract

Several lines of preclinical evidence indicate the ability of the prototypic cannabinoid CB(1) receptor antagonist, rimonabant, to suppress various alcohol-related behaviors, including alcohol drinking and seeking behavior and alcohol self-administration in rats and mice. Together, these data-synthetically reviewed in the present paper-suggest (a) the involvement of the cannabinoid CB(1) receptor in the neural substrate controlling alcohol intake, alcohol reinforcement, and the motivational properties of alcohol and (b) that rimonabant may constitute a new and potentially effective medication for the treatment of alcohol dependence.
