Chronic pain is highly prevalent worldwide and severely affects daily lives of patients and family members. Praeruptorin C (Pra-C) is a main active ingredient derived from Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn, traditionally used as antibechic, anti-bronchitis and anti-hypertension drug. Here, we evaluated the effects of Pra-C in a chronic inflammatory pain mouse model induced by complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) injection. Pra-C (3 mg/kg) treatment for just 3 days after CFA challenge relieved CFA-induced mechanical allodynia and hindpaw edema in mice. In the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), Pra-C treatment inhibited microglia activation and reduced levels of proinflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-1β, and suppressed upregulation of glutamate receptors caused by CFA injection. In addition, Pra-C attenuated neuronal hyperexcitability in ACC of CFA-injected mice. In vitro studies confirmed the analgesic effect of Pra-C was due to its inhibitory ability on microglial activation. In conclusion, Pra-C administration had a certain effect on relieving chronic pain by inhibiting microglial activation, attenuating proinflammatory cytokine releasing and regulating excitatory synaptic proteins in the ACC of the CFA-injected mice.
