Neurochemical studies suggest that baclofen, an agonist at GABAB receptors, may be useful for treatment of nicotine dependence. However, its ability to selectively reduce nicotine’s abuse-related behavioral effects remains in question. We assessed effects of baclofen doses ranging from 0.1 to 3 mg/kg on nicotine-induced conditioned place preferences (CPP), nicotine discrimination, locomotor activity and food-reinforced behavior in male Sprague Dawley rats. The high dose of baclofen (3 mg/kg) totally eliminated food-reinforced responding and significantly decreased locomotor activity. Lower doses of baclofen did not have nicotine-like discriminative effects in rats trained to discriminate 0.4 mg/kg nicotine from saline under a fixed-ratio 10 schedule of food delivery. Lower doses of baclofen also did not reduce discriminative-stimulus effects of the training dose of nicotine and did not significantly shift the dose-response curve for nicotine discrimination. Rats treated with the high 3 mg/kg dose of baclofen did not express nicotine-induced CPP. These experiments, along with previous reports that baclofen can reduce intravenous nicotine self-administration behavior, confirm the potential utility of baclofen as a tool for smoking cessation.
