Electrophysiological and biochemical evidence suggests that cAMP mediates sweet taste transduction. Neural recordings from anesthetized rats and in vitro preparations demonstrate that membrane-per-meable cAMP analogues mimic the effects of sucrose and artificial sweetners. We presented solutions of sodium 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-adenosine 3'-5'-cyclic monophosphate (8cpt-cAMP), a water-soluble, membrane-permeable cAMP analogue to freely behaving rats in short-term lickometer tests. Rats licked significantly less to 8cpt-cAMP than to sucrose or palatable saccharin solutions. Rats could taste 8cpt-cAMP solutions, however, because they licked less to 8cpt-cAMP in mixture with sucrose than to sucrose alone. Because 8cpt-cAMP decreased licking when mixed with sucrose, we conclude that the taste of 8cpt-cAMP is aversive, not sweet, to freely behaving rats.
