Abstract
Intraplantar administration of serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonists ICS 205-930 and MDL 72222 (1-100 micrograms; 50 microliters) produced dose-related analgesia against formalin-induced acute- and Freunds adjuvant-induced chronic-inflammatory pain in rats. 5-HT3 receptor antagonists had greater effect in the chronic pain test than in the acute paradigm. In both tests, ICS 205-930 was more potent than MDL 72222. These data further support the involvement of peripheral 5-HT3 sites in inflammatory pain, and suggest the utility of selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonists as peripheral analgesics.Entities:
