Ibudilast, an asthma drug, has demonstrated antinociceptive effects in several rat models of peripheral neuropathic pain, and a proposed mechanism of action is the inhibition of release of the cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) from activated spinal microglia. Spinal glial

Neuroinflammation induced by activated microglia and astrocytes can be elicited by drugs of abuse. Methamphetamine administration activates glial cells and increases proinflammatory cytokine production, and there is recent evidence of a linkage between glial cell activation and drug abuse-related behavior.
