Finding new chemicals or adjuvants with analgesic effects in the central nervous system is clinically relevant due to the limited number of drugs with these properties. Here, we present PT-31, which is chemically related to 3-benzyl-imidazolidine, with an analgesic profile

The inhibitory effect of clonidine (non-selective alpha2-adrenoceptor agonist) and oxymetazoline (alpha2A-adrenoceptor selective agonist) was compared on basal and stimulated gastric motor activity (gastric tone and contractions) using the balloon method in the rat. It was shown that oxymetazoline (0.2-1.7 micromol/kg

Spinal astrocytes have emerged as important mechanistic contributors to pathological and chronic pain. Recently, we have demonstrated that injection of diluted bee venom (DBV) into the Zusanli (ST36) acupoint produces a potent anti-nociceptive effect via the activation of spinal alpha-2

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) when an infection is the etiology of SIRS. Our previous studies have indicated that the release of the sympathetic neurotransmitter, norepinephrine (NE), from the gut is increased in sepsis, and that NE

N-methyl-D-aspartic acid/glutamate receptor antagonists induce psychotomimetic effects in humans and animals, and much research has focused on the neurochemical and network-level effects that mediate those behavioral changes. For example, a reduction in NMDA-dependent glutamatergic transmission triggers increased release of the
