Abstract

Many drugs of abuse are mixed with other psychoactive substances (e.g., caffeine) prior to their sale or use. Synthetic cathinones (e.g., 3,4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone [MDPV]) are commonly mixed with caffeine or other cathinones (e.g., 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylcathinone [methylone]), and these "bath salts" mixtures (e.g., MDPV + caffeine) can exhibit supra-additive interactions with regard to their reinforcing and discriminative stimulus properties. However, little is known about relapse-related effects of drug mixtures. In these studies, male Sprague-Dawley rats self-administered 0.032 mg/kg/inf MDPV or a mixture of MDPV + caffeine (0.029 + 0.66 mg/kg/inf, respectively) and then underwent multiple rounds of extinction and reinstatement testing to evaluate the influence of reinforcement history and drug-associated stimuli on the effectiveness of saline (drug-paired stimuli alone), MDPV (0.032-1.0 mg/kg), caffeine (1.0-32 mg/kg), and mixtures of MDPV:caffeine (in 3:1, 1:1, and 1:3 ratios, relative to each drug's ED50 ) to reinstate responding. Dose-addition analyses were used to determine the nature of the drug-drug interaction for each mixture. MDPV and caffeine dose-dependently reinstated responding and were equally effective, regardless of reinforcement history. Most fixed ratio mixtures of MDPV + caffeine exhibited supra-additive interactions, reinstating responding to levels greater than was observed with caffeine and/or MDPV alone. Drug-associated stimuli also played a key role in reinstating responding, especially for caffeine. Together, these results demonstrate that the composition of drug mixtures can impact relapse-related effects of drug mixtures, and "bath salts" mixtures (MDPV + caffeine) may be more effective at promoting relapse-related behaviors than the constituents alone. Further research is needed to determine how other polysubstance reinforcement histories can impact relapse-related behaviors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
