Can Fruit Flies Help Scientists Develop Treatments for Alcohol Use Disorder? | Newswise
The tiny fruit fly could have a mighty impact on identifying optimal treatments for people with alcohol use disorder. A new study confirmed that using fruit flies may help scientists understand the hu...

Both inhibitors effectively blocked the rewarding memories of alcohol, and dibenzazepine reduced alcohol consumption preference, suggesting the Notch pathway might be a good molecular target for more effective AUD treatments.

Alcohol activates #NotchSignaling in memory circuits, so to test whether pharmacologically inhibiting Notch signaling affects ethanol preference, we used γ-secretase inhibitors #dibenzazepine and #compoundE.

We show that FDA-approved #AlcoholUseDisorder (AUD) treatments #naltrexone and #acamprosate reduce ethanol consumption preference and memories for the rewarding effects of alcohol, underscoring the efficacy of drugs in treating AUD.

Our efficient pipeline is great for in vivo screening for novel pharmacotherapies and investigating the molecular mechanisms through which drug therapies impact alcohol preference #AddictionResearch #Pharmacology #Neuroscience
