Behavioral effects of nicotine, amphetamine and cocaine under a fixed-interval schedule of food reinforcement in rats chronically exposed to caffeine

Abstract: Epidemiological surveys demonstrate that caffeine, the main psychoactive ingredient of coffee, is a positive correlate in drug abuse. To characterize the behavioral nature of caffeine interactions with other psychomotor stimulants, we examined the effects of chronic caffeine exposure on the behavioral responses to nicotine, amphetamine, cocaine, the selective D1 agonist SKF-82958 and the selective D2 receptor agonist NPA, in rats responding under a fixed interval (FI) schedule of food reinforcement.

“…In further agreement with previous studies showing pharmacological specificity of tolerance to caffeine-induced motor activation (Holtzman and Finn, 1988) and to caffeine-induced increases in food-reinforced operant responding (Jaszyna et al, 1998), in the present study, there was no cross-tolerance to the motor-activating effects of amphetamine. Findings from previous studies also suggest that there are at least two different kinds of tolerance to some behavioral effects of caffeine (Finn and Holtzman, 1987;Holtzman and Finn, 1988).…”

“…Findings from previous studies also suggest that there are at least two different kinds of tolerance to some behavioral effects of caffeine (Finn and Holtzman, 1987;Holtzman and Finn, 1988). Tolerance to caffeine's motor-activating effects and stimulant effects on operant responding develops rapidly, is insurmountable, and is pharmacologically specific, showing cross-tolerance mostly to other methylxanthines, but not to other nonxanthine psychomotor stimulants (Finn and Holtzman, 1987;Katz and Goldberg, 1987;Holtzman and Finn, 1988;Jaszyna et al, 1998). On the other hand, tolerance is usually not seen to the rate-decreasing effects of high doses of caffeine on operant responding (Katz and Goldberg, 1987;Jaszyna et al, 1998).…”

“…The importance of adenosine in the modulation of actions of amphetamine is supported by recent findings of decreased behavioral effects of amphetamine in mice lacking A 2A adenosine receptors (Chen et al 2000), probably reflecting complex neuroadaptation processes in these transgenic animals. Finally, the nonselective adenosine antagonist caffeine potentiates the behavioral responses to amphetamine and cocaine in rats responding for food under a fixed-interval schedule of food reinforcement (Jaszyna et al 1998). Caffeine also has been found to potentiate the discriminativestimulus effects of amphetamine and cocaine and to mimic partially their discriminative-stimulus effects upon substitution (Schechter 1977;Gauvin et al 1990;Young et al 1998;reviewed by Garret and Griffiths 1997).…”

“…In animals, the effects of acute co-administration of caffeine and nicotine vary with previous nicotine exposure, 14 and chronic administration of caffeine does not affect nicotine discrimination. 17,19 In human studies, acute caffeine pretreatment does not increase smokers' ability to identify nicotine nasal spray as a stimulant or increase subjective reports of positive drug effects. 18,20 However, chronic caffeine consumption potentiated the positive, subjective effects of high doses of intravenously administered nicotine and reduced the subjective, negative effects of low doses in African American cocaine abusers.…”
