Résumé
Epidemiological studies have mentioned that cocaine use disorder (CUD) has increased in the last decade among women; these show endocrine and reproductive disorders and a high propensity to stress and depression disorders. Mirtazapine-a tetracyclic antidepressant-decreases cocaine-induced locomotor activity and locomotor sensitization in male rats. The objective of this study was to evaluate if estradiol alters the efficacy of mirtazapine to decrease cocaine-induced locomotor activity in sham and ovariectomized female rats. Three hundred and twenty adult female Wistar rats were assigned to three experimental protocols. For experiments, 1-3, female rats were daily dosed with 10 mg/kg of cocaine during the 10 days of induction and expression of locomotor sensitization. During drug withdrawal (30 days), cocaine was withdrawn and the groups received daily mirtazapine, estradiol, or saline. In addition, the females underwent sham or ovariectomy surgery. Tamoxifen was administered during the antagonism phase. After each administration, locomotor activity for each animal was recorded for 30 min in activity chambers. The dosage of mirtazapine reduces estradiol-induced enhancement in cocaine-dependent locomotor activity during the expression of locomotor sensitization in sham and ovariectomized female rats. As well as they showed that estradiol co-dosed with mirtazapine enhances the efficacy of mirtazapine to decrease cocaine-induced locomotor activity. Finally, tamoxifen enhanced the estradiol and mirtazapine-induced decrease in the cocaine motor effect in female rats. Mirtazapine may be considered an effective therapeutic option for the treatment of CUD in women, even in those who are on hormonal treatment or antidepressant therapy with estradiol.
