In vitro study | In the nAChRs-expressing HEK cells, Varenicline is a partial agonist, and the efficacy of alpha3beta4 nAChRs is 45% of the maximum efficacy of nicotine. Varenicline is a potent, partial agonist at the alpha4beta2 receptor with an EC50 of 2.3 mM and an efficacy of 13.4% (relative to acetylcholine). Varenicline has lower efficacy and higher efficacy on the alpha3beta4 receptor, EC50 is 55 mM, the efficacy is 75%. |
In vivo study | Varenicline stimulates [(3)H]-dopamine release from rat brain slices in vitro with significantly lower efficacy than nicotine (40-60% of nicotine), and increase the release of dopamine from the nucleus accumbens in rats, more effective than nicotine. Varenicline effectively attenuated nicotine-induced dopamine release to the level of effect of Varenicline alone, consistent with a partial agonistic effect. Varenicline reduces nicotine self-administration in rats and has a lower self-administration stop point than nicotine. Varenicline dose-dependently reduced nicotine self-administration and attenuated recovery induced by nicotine and nicotine-binding nicotine pairing cues. Varenicline, a partial agonist of alpha4beta2 nAChRs, reduces nicotine intake and was recently approved to aid smoking cessation. Varenicline selectively reduced ethanol uptake by an effective self-administered drinking regime, but did not affect sucrose uptake, in animals chronically exposed to ethanol for 2 months prior to Varenicline treatment, spontaneous ethanol consumption was also reduced, but water consumption was not affected. |
