Abstract:

The antinociceptive effects of intrathecal (IT) (1DMe)NPYF were studied in adult Sprague-Dawley rats. (1DMe)NPYF produced dose-dependent antinociception that was reduced by subcutaneous injection of naloxone. (1DMe)NPYF (0.5 nmol) also potentiated the antinociceptive effects of intrathecal morphine 7.8 nmol. This suggests that the antinociceptive effects of (1DMe)NPYF are partially mediated by opioid receptor activation. In carrageenan inflammation, 5-10 nmol of (1DMe)NPYF was effective against both thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia. In the neuropathic pain model, the lowest dose tested (0.5 nmol) showed antiallodynic effects against cold allodynia. The results suggest a potential role for (1DMe)NPYF in the treatment of pain including neuropathic pain.
