Abstract
The cannabinoid CB 1 receptor antagonist, N-piperidino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methyl-3-pyrazole-carboxamide) (SR 141716); 0.3–3 mg/kg, i.p., twice daily for 10 days), prevented the acquisition of alcohol drinking behavior in rats genetically selected for alcohol preference (Sardinian alcohol-preferring (sP) rats), having the free choice between alcohol (10%, v/v) and water. The results suggest that activation of cannabinoid CB 1 receptors is essential for the acquisition of alcohol drinking behavior in animals with a genetically determined alcohol preference.
