[IEM-1460 and spermine potentiate analgesic effect of fentanyl and dipyrone in rats]
Abstract:
Intramuscular (i. m.) administration in the minimum effective dose (MED) of central analgesics of fentanyl and dipyrone, polyamine agonist spermine and also IEM-1460 (IEM-1460 is AMPA receptors antagonist and agonist of the NMDA polyamine receptor site) causes the maximal analgesic effect in the tail flick test in rats. The combined i.m. administration of dipyrone with IEM-1460 and spermine in threshold, noneffective alone doses according 1/5 part from their MED leads to decrease of MED dipyrone in the combination with IEM-1460 in 120 times, and MED dipyrone in combination with spermine--in 10 times. The combined i.m. administration of fentanyl with IEM-1460 and spermine in above mentioned threshold doses leads to decrease of MED fentanyl in the combination with IEM-1460 in 150 times, and MED fentanyl in the combination with spermine--in 15 times.
