Abstrakt: | Opioid abuse and overdose have risen to epidemic proportions in the United States. Oxycodone is the most abused prescription opioid. Treatments for opioid use disorder (OUD) seek to reduce vulnerability to relapse by reducing sources of reinforcement to seek drug (i.e., acute drug effects or drug withdrawal/craving). Accumulating evidence that glutamate release elicits drug-seeking behaviors has generated interest in pharmacotherapies targeting the glutamate system. Agonists and positive allosteric modulators of the metabotropic glutamate 2 (mGlu2) receptor decrease glutamate activity, reducing drug taking and seeking. The present study tested whether the mGlu2 receptor positive allosteric modulator ADX106772 reduces oxycodone self-administration and the conditioned reinstatement of oxycodone seeking without affecting behaviors directed toward a highly palatable nondrug reinforcer (sweetened condensed milk). Male Wistar rats were trained to self-administer oxycodone (0.15 mg/kg/infusion, i.v., 12 h/day) or sweetened condensed milk (SCM; diluted 2:1 v/v in H Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest None (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
