RationaleAlthough nicotine from cigarettes is delivered in puff-sized amounts, most preclinical and human intravenous (IV) nicotine studies have used bolus or continuous infusions.ObjectivesTo determine the feasibility of a pulsed-nicotine infusion model in smokers.MethodsFollowing overnight abstinence, 12 adult smokers underwent 5 laboratory sessions. Using a crossover design, in each session, participants were assigned to 1 of 5 conditions: (1)high/fast: 1.0 mg nicotine delivered over 5 pulsed-infusions, then 15 saline infusions; (2)high/slow: 1.0 mg nicotine delivered over 20 pulsed-infusions; (3)low/fast: 0.2 mg nicotine delivered over 5 pulsed-infusions, then 15 saline infusions; (4)low/slow: 0.2 mg nicotine delivered over 20 pulsed-infusions; and (5)placebo: Saline delivered over 20 pulsed-infusions. Subjective drug effects, urges to smoke, nicotine withdrawal, and cognitive performance were measured in each session.ResultsBoth thehigh/fastandhigh/slowconditions were associated with greater “head rush” and “high” (p< 0.05). Thehigh/fastcondition also provided greater suppression of urges to smoke and nicotine withdrawal (p< 0.05), indexed by the Questionnaire of Urges to Smoke-Brief, and the Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale, respectively. Thehigh/fastandhigh/slowconditions produced greater increases in heart rate (p< 0.01) than saline. Finally, there were no main effects of dosing conditions on cognitive performance, indexed by the continuous performance test.ConclusionsThese findings demonstrate the feasibility of pulsed-nicotine infusions to model nicotine delivery by smoking. This model could inform future studies testing novel smoking cessation therapies and tobacco regulatory studies testing the impact of nicotine reduction approaches.
