Synergistic effect of the L-tryptophan and kynurenic acid with dipyrone or para...
Rocha, Nayrton Flávio Moura; Rios, Emiliano Ricardo Vasconcelos; Carvalho, Alyne Mara Rodrigues; Freire, Leonardo Vasconcelos; Dias, Marília LeitePurpose: Our great interest in this work was study the synergism between L-tryptophan and dipyrone or paracetamol as well as the interaction of kynurenic acid (L-tryptophan metabolite) and these analgesics agents utilizing a robust methodology. Methods: We performed the writhing test induced by acetic acid in mice to evaluate the antinociceptive effect of the treatments isolated and combined (p.o. and i.p.). Do...
TRP and ASIC channels mediate the antinociceptive effect of citronellyl acetate
Rios, Emiliano Ricardo Vasconcelos; Rocha, Nayrton Flávio Moura; Carvalho, Alyne Mara Rodrigues; Vasconcelos, Leonardo Freire; Dias, Marília LeiteBackground: Citronellyl acetate (CAT), a monoterpene product of the secondary metabolism of plants, has been shown in the literature to possess several different biological activities. However, no antinociceptive abilities have yet been discussed. Here, we used acute pain animal models to describe the antinociceptive action of CAT. Methods: The acetic acid-induced writhing test and the paw-licking test, in whic...
