Rats were trained to discriminate amphetamine, 1 mg/kg given intraperitoneally, from saline injection in a two-lever operant drug discrimination task. Pseudoephedrine (a sympathomimetic drug with central and peripheral actions) at doses of 10 mg/kg failed to substitute for amphetamine, at 20 mg/kg partial substitution occurred, while at a 40 mg/kg full substitution was seen. The specificity of the amphetamine cue at the training dose used (1 mg/kg) was shown by the finding that a peripherally acting sympathomimetic drug phenylephrine at doses from 0.2 to 0.8 mg/kg failed to substitute for amphetamine. The potential for abuse of pseudoephedrine administered at high doses is discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Inc.
