Antinociceptive effect of Phyllanthus fraternus extract in complete Freund's adjuvant induced chronic pain in mice - 28/11/13
, F.J. SayyadAbstract |
Objective |
To evaluate the effects of Phyllanthus fraternus (PF) extract on chronic inflammatory pain.
Method |
Complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) induced inflammatory pain model was used to investigate the effects of (PF) extract on chronic inflammatory hypersensitivity in adult Swiss albino mice. Twenty-four hours after CFA injection, we used Von Frey filaments and acetone-evoked cooling to evaluate tactile and thermal hypersensitivity, respectively. The paw edema was measured with the help of a digital plethysmometer.
Results |
Single intraperitoneal injections of PF extract (200 & 400mg/kg) administered 30minutes before testing reduced CFA-induced mechanical hypersensitivity. Similarly, PF reduced acetone-evoked hypersensitivity up to 4hours after treatment. Compared with vehicle, PF produced a marked reduction in CFA-induced paw edema. Multiple treatments with PF extracts given chronically (twice a day from 1st to 5th day and from 9th to 10th day) significantly reduced mechanical hypersensitivity induced by CFA. This multi-dose strategy did not cause tolerance.
Conclusion |
The present study reveals the antinociceptive activity of PF in chronic inflammatory hyperalgesia and also indicates that it might be potentially effective in management of the persistent pain.
