Table 1.

ED50 values and 95% confidence limits for Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) alone and in combination with various doses (0.32–3.2 mg·kg−1) of rimonabant in monkeys responding for food presentation (Food) and stimulus-shock termination (SST)

ED50 in mg·kg−1 (95% confidence limits) Potency ratio (95% confidence limits)
Food
Δ9-THC alone 0.17 (0.055–0.54)
+0.32 Rimonabant 0.22 (0.097–0.48) 1.3 (0.4–4.0)
+1 Rimonabant 0.60 (0.19–1.9) 3.5 (1.0–13)
+3.2 Rimonabant 2.3* (0.60–8.8) 14 (3.6–50)
SST
Δ9-THC alone 0.058 (0.024–0.14)
+0.32 Rimonabant 0.13 (0.058–0.38) 2.2 (0.6–8.6)
+1 Rimonabant 0.39* (0.06–2.6) 6.7 (1.1–41)
+3.2 Rimonabant 0.79* (0.31–2.0) 14 (4.0–46)

Potency ratios and 95% confidence limits are equal to the ED50 values of Δ9-THC in combination with a dose of rimonabant divided by the ED50 value of Δ9-THC alone.

*

Significantly different from Δ9-THC alone.
