Abstract Background To investigate the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of aqueous extract of a blended mixture of dried leaves of Ocimum gratissimum and Psidium guajava, a traditional analgesic drug polyherbal (TADP) used as a remedy for pain-related conditions. Methods Antinociceptive activity of TADP (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) was evaluated in the hot plate test and acetic acid-induced nociception in mice while the anti-inflammatory was evaluated in carrageenan-induced paw oedema in rats. Levels of nitrite, myeloperoxidase, glutathione and malondialdehyde were assayed in carrageenan-induced paw tissue. Results TADP (200 and 400 mg/kg) significantly prolong the latency time in the hot-plate test. TADP (100–400 mg/kg) produced a dose-dependent significant inhibition of the acetic-acid induced abdominal constriction. The antinociceptive activity of TADP in the presence of naloxone and atropine was not reversed whereas yohimbine and glibenclamide significantly reversed it. TADP (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) significantly reduced the swelling in the carrageenan-induced oedema model and also produced a reduction in the nitrite and myeloperoxidase level. TADP (400 mg/kg) significantly reduced malondialdehyde concentration and increase glutathione level in the carrageenan-induced rat paw. TADP significantly decrease the number of cellular infiltrates in the histopathological assessment. Conclusion These results indicate that polyherbal product containing blended leaves of Ocimum gratissimum and Psidium guajava possess antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties, hence represents a promising alternative remedy in inflammation-induced pain.

Borneol, a bicyclic monoterpene, has been evaluated for antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities. Antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities were studied by measuring nociception by acetic acid, formalin, hot plate, and grip strength tests, while inflammation was prompted by carrageenan-induced peritonitis. The rotarod test was used to evaluate motor coordination. Borneol produced a significant (P<0.01) reduction of the nociceptive behavior at the early and late phases of paw licking and reduced the writhing reflex in mice (formalin and writhing tests, resp.). When the hot plate test was conducted, borneol (in higher dose) produced an inhibition (P<0.05) of the nociceptive behavior. Such results were unlikely to be provoked by motor abnormality. Additionally, borneol-treated mice reduced the carrageenan-induced leukocytes migration to the peritoneal cavity. Together, our results suggest that borneol possess significant central and peripheral antinociceptive activity; it has also anti-inflammatory activity. In addition, borneol did not impair motor coordination.

Haloxylon Salicornicum

AbstractThe medicinal plant Haloxylon salicornicum is utilized for therapeutic purposes. We previously reported the antioxidant potential of hexane fraction and methanol extracts of the same species. However, since these solvents could be clinically toxic, the current findings investigated the pharmacological effects of the water fraction. The pain relieving, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic potential of H. salicornicum water extract (HEW) were studied at two concentrations (250 and 500 mg/kg) in rodents. The carrageenan stimulated rat paw edema assay was exercised to assess anti inflammatory potential in rats; yeast-stimulated hyperthermia was utilized to test antipyretic activity in mice; analgesic properties were assessed based on acetic acid-induced writhing, tail flicking, and hot-plate test; and antioxidant potential was examined with the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay. We found that 500 mg/kg HEW inhibited edema by 44.03%. Yeast-induced hyperthermia in mice was reduced by 250 and 500 mg/kg HEW after 30, 60, and 120 min with significant level of (P < 0.001) compared to rectal temperature of yeast administered group. The high dose of HEW (500 mg/kg) improved the reaction time of mice in the hot-plate test from 6.66 ± 0.33 to 11.33 ± 0.49 s after 120 min. In the acetic acid-stimulated writhing test, 250 and 500 mg/kg HEW decreased writhing by 32.71% and 51.40%, respectively, after 20 min. HEW also showed antioxidant effects. These results demonstrate that HEW is bioactive and has therapeutic potential for treating a variety of ailments.

The aim is to study the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of an innovative molecule under the ZC02-0012 laboratory code belonging to the group of selective blockers of the TRPA1 ion channel.Materials and methods. The study of the ZC02-0012 analgesic activity was carried out by the hot plate and acetic acid writhing tests. The hot plate test was performed on white laboratory mice. ZC02-0012 substance was administered in doses of 1, 3 and 9 mg/kg. Ketorol at a dose of 3.48 mg/kg was chosen as the reference drug. To study the analgesic effects in the hot plate test, intact white laboratory mice were placed on a preheated at 55°C plate to determine the base level of pain sensitivity. Then the test substances were administered to the animals divided into groups, and the hot plate test was repeated after 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. To study the analgesic effects in the test of acetic acid writhing, white laboratory rats were injected with the ZC02-0012 substance at doses of 0.46, 1.38, and 4.15 mg/kg. Ketorol at a dose of 1.6 mg/kg was chosen as the reference drug. 30 minutes after intramuscular injection and 60 minutes after intragastric administration, the intraperitoneal administration of a 0.75% solution of acetic acid was carried out at the rate of 1 ml per 100 g of animal weight. Counting the number of writhings started 15 minutes after the injection of acetic acid and continued for 30 minutes. The anti-inflammatory effects of the ZC02-0012 substance were studied using a model of acute exudative inflammation in response to the subplantar introduction of 0.02 ml of 2% formaldehyde aqueous solution into the right hind paw of the mouse. 4 hours after the phlogistic introduction, the mass of the edematous paw was evaluated. ZC02-0012 substance at doses of 1, 3 and 9 mg/kg and the Diclofenac reference drug at a dose of 13.91 mg/kg were administered intragastrically or intramuscularly 45 minutes before the introduction of phlogistic. The presence and severity of anti-inflammatory activity was judged by the inhibitory effect, expressed in percentage.Results. The analgesic activity of ZC02-0012 is found to exceed that for Ketorol in both the intramuscular and intragastric ways of administration according to the results of hot plate tests in doses of 3 and 9 mg/kg and acetic acid writhing in doses of 1.38 and 4.15 mg/kg, while the anti-inflammatory activity of ZC02-0012 at doses of 3 and 9 mg/kg is shown to be comparable to that of Diclofenac. Conclusion. The innovative molecule under the ZC02-0012 laboratory code is established to exhibit a pronounced analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity, thus being prospective for further research.Conflict of interest: the authors declare no conflict of interest.

AbstractBackground and objectivesAloperine (ALO) is an alkaloid compound and presents in several medicinal plants. This study was undertaken to investigate the anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of ALO on various chemical- and thermal-induced hypersensitivity models in mice.MethodsThe anti-nociceptive effect of ALO was evaluated using acetic acid-induced writhing test, hot plate test, tail flick test, formalin test, ear swelling test, locomotor activity test, rota-rod test and carrageenan-induced paw edema test in mice. Inflammatory cytokines including interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) expression were examined in ALO- and vehicle-treated mice.ResultsThe results showed that ALO significantly attenuated acetic acid-induced writhing numbers in mice in a dose-dependent manner. ALO showed no effect on prolonging latency in the hot plate test and the tail-flick test. ALO showed analgesic activity in the inflammatory phase of formalin-induced pain. Its anti-inflammatory effect was also confirmed in the ear-swelling test. In the carrageenan-induced paw edema model, ALO significantly and dose-dependently reduced the carrageenan-induced paw edema, decreased the contents of TNF-α IL-1β and PGE2, but increased the IL-10 production. On the other hand, ALO showed no influence on the rota-rod performance time or on spontaneous locomotor activity.ConclusionIt is concluded that ALO has both anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, especially in the field of inflammation pain.ImplicationsOur findings support the hypothesis that ALO ameliorates inflammatory pain induced by chemical and thermal stimuli and provides a scientific basis for the resource development and clinical use of aloperine.

The goal of the study was to develop, synthesise, and characterise a novel 1,3,5-trisubstituted-2-pyrazolines derivative, as well as to assess its analgesic potential. The reaction of chalcone derivatives with 4-hydrazinylbenzene sulfonamide hydrochloride and phenyl hydrazine hydrochloride yielded 1,3,5-tri-substituted-2-pyrazolines derivatives. The IR, 1HNMR, and mass spectrum analyses were used to characterise a total of sixteen substances. Analgesic activity of the proposed substances has been tested. The analgesic effect of the produced compounds was tested using two methods: the hot plate test technique and acetic acid induced writhing in mice. To compare the effectiveness, pentazocine and acetyl acetic acid were utilised as reference drugs. The hot plate test technique and acetic acid induced writhing in mice were used to assess the analgesic effect of the 16 produced chemical series A1-A8, and B1-B8. The evaluation's outcomes were viewed using Pentazocine and acetyl acetic acid as the standard drugs. In a 90-minute hot plate test, compounds A2 (10.30 s), A4 (9.45 s), A7 (11.65 s), and A8 (11.26 s) showed a delay in paw withdrawal latency time. Compounds B2 (9.10 s) and B7 (10.42 s) prolong the paw withdrawal latency time after 90 minutes in series B1-B8, reduce the pain feeling, and inhibit pain induced by heat methods. Compounds A2, A5, A6, A7, and A8 from Series A1-A8 showed 83.00, 76.01, 80.34, 86.99, 88.15 percent inhibition, substantially (p0.05 and p0.001, respectively), and decreased the number of wriths caused by 0.6 percent acetic acid at a dosage of 10 mg/kg. Acetylsalicylic acid (10 mg/kg) appears to be more successful in lowering the number of wriths, with a 99.0% reduction in the number of wriths (p0.001). B1, B3, and B4 have the least amount of active activity. These all finding suggest that these synthesized compounds have the potential as analgesic agent.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Tricyclic antidepressants are used in the treatment of various pain syndromes. The antidepressant clomipramine inhibits predominantly the reuptake of serotonin in the central nervous system. The mechanism of its analgesic effect is not fully understood. The AIM of the present study was to find experimentally any dose-effect dependence in the analgesic effect of clomipramine and the involvement of the 5-НТ2 and 5-НТ3 receptors in the mechanism of this effect. Material and methods: Fifty male Wistar rats were used in the study allocated to five groups (10 animals each): a saline treated control group, one positive control group treated with metamizole and three experimental groups treated with intraperitoneally administered clomipramine in doses of 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg bw, respectively. To study the role of 5-НТ2 and 5-НТ3 receptors in this effect we used another five groups (10 animals each): control, positive control and three experimental groups treated with clomipramine only, clomipramine and granisetrone and clomipramine and cyproheptadine, respectively. Three nociceptive tests were used: the hot plate test, analgesimeter and the acetic acid-induced writhing test. To gauge the antinociceptive action we used the increased latency in the hot plate test expressed as maximum possible effect % (%MPE), the increase in paw pressure to withdraw the hind paw in analgesimeter and decrease in the number of spinal cord writhes in the acetic acid test. RESULTS: Clomipramine in a dose of 20 mg/kg bw significantly increased the %MPE in hot plate test and the pressure to withdraw the hind paw in the analgesimeter when compared with the control. In the acetic acid test clomipramine decreased non-significantly the number of writhes compared with the controls. Granisetrone reduced non-significantly the antinociceptive effect of clomipramine in all tests. Cyproheptadine potentiated the analgesic effect of clomipramine in acetic acid test and decreased it significantly in the hot plate test. In analgesimeter cyproheptadine decreased significantly the paw pressure to withdraw the tested hind paw at 1 hour and non-significantly at 2 hours. CONCLUSION: Clomipramine in the dose of 20 mg/kg bw has a pronounced antinociceptive affect towards thermal and mechanical pain stimulation. The 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptor subtypes are very likely involved in the mechanism of this effect.

Introduction: Echinodorus macrophyllus (Kunth) Micheli,Alismataceae, commonly known as “chapéu de couro”, isused in the treatment of various inflammatory conditions.The aim of this study was to evaluate the antinociceptiveand anti-inflammatory neurogenic potential and perform thephytochemical analysis of its hexanic extract (HEEm). Materialand methods: The HEEm was obtained by maceration ofdried leaves with hexane (100 g d.w./2 L). Its composition wasdetermined by GC-MS (DB1 column) by comparison of retentionindices in the database and literature. The antinociceptivepotential was evaluated in SW or DBA/1 male mice usingchemical (acetic acid and formalin), thermal (tail immersionand hot plate tests) and topical (xylene) nociception models,all approved by the Ethics Committee (CEA-IBRAG). Results:HEEM presented antinociceptive activity in the model of:acetic acid-induced writhing (52%; 25mg/kg); tail immersion(60 and 90 minutes; 50 mg/kg); hot-plate in 60 minutes (25and 100mg/kg) and 120 minutes (25mg/kg); formalin tests, atthe neurogenic (63.4%, 100mg/kg), and inflammatory (50%;50 and 100mg/kg) phases; and in neurogenic inflammationinduced by xylene (88.3%; 100mg/kg). These activities seem tobe related to the terpene and fatty acid derivatives evidencedby GC-MS. Discussion: HEEm presented antinociceptive, aswell as anti-inflammatory, activity by central and peripheralmechanisms, It consists of terpenic and fatty acid derivatives,described in the literature as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory,and antinociceptives. Conclusions: HEEm showed antinociceptiveactivity in all models, which can be related to thepresence of terpenic and fatty acid derivatives.Keywords: Echinodorus macrophyllus; Nociception;Neurogenic inflammation; Phytochemistry.
