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

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
To investigate the effects of α2A-adrenoreceptor blockade on acute lung injury (ALI) and high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) expression in a rat model of sepsis. Sepsis was induced in male rats by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Thirty adult
Perineural injection of clonidine at the site of nerve injury reduces hypersensitivity while simultaneously reducing leukocyte number and cytokine expression and hyperexcitability in sensory neurons. The activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in sensory neurons contributes to the development and
Partial sciatic nerve ligation (PSNL) produces axonal damage, a local inflammatory response, and wallerian degeneration. Cytokines secreted near the site of nerve injury are thought to play important roles in development and maintenance of central sensitization and neuropathic pain. Injection
