Acamprosate calcium is a synthetic drug for abstinence of patients with alcohol dependence [1].
Acamprosate administration can reduce alcohol intake. In rat model, oral acamprosate at dose of 50 to 400 mg/kg/day reduced voluntary oral ethanol consumption dose-dependently. However, the exact cellular target and mechanism of acamprosate is not clear. Acamprosate has a structure similar to that of GABA. It can specifically bind to GABAB receptors but not GABAA receptors. Besides that, acamprosate showed serotonergic properties. It increased 5-HT levels and the effects caused by 5-HT in rats exposed to ethanolvapour. Moreover, acamprosate was thought to have effects on inhibiting the excitatory activity of aminoacid and reducing Ca2+fluxes [1].
