In the present study the hypothesis was tested that sodium pump ligands (SPL) can modulate alcohol-seeking behavior and that this effect is related to changes in Na/K-ATPase activity in the central nervous system. Mice were tested for initiation of ethanol intravenous self-administration (IVSA) following i.p. pretreatment with vehicle or the endogenous SPL, marinobufagenin (MBG). Drug- and experimentally-naive mice acquired IVSA of 2% ethanol during a single 30-min session. MBG was found to dose-dependently attenuate (1.25–2.5 μg/kg) initiation of ethanol IVSA producing a decrease in the ratio and in the difference between operant responses of response-dependent and yoked animals as well as a decrease in percentage of mice demonstrating ethanol-seeking behavior. Attenuation of the reinforcing effect of ethanol resulting from MBG was associated with brain levels of this steroid capable of concurrently inhibiting Na/K-ATPase in the brain cortex. We hypothesize that endogenous digitalis-like factors could modulate the reinforcing effect of ethanol.
