The ED50 of J-2156 in rats for the relief of mechanical allodynia and mechanical hyperalgesia in the ipsilateral hindpaws was 3.7 and 8.0 mg kg, respectively. J-2156 is a high potent, selective somatostatin receptor type 4 (SST4 receptor) agonist with IC5
Draflazine is an ENT1 inhibitor. It completely reverses the hypersensitivity in the complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) model of mechanical hyperalgesia. Draflazine also completely reverses the hypersensitivity of the carrageenan inflammation model of therma
The group IVA phospholipase A2 (PLA2), known as calcium-dependent cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2), selectively releases arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids, playing a central role in initiating the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. AX 048 is a potent group IVA cPLA2 inhibitor that demonstrates 50% inhibition of the enzyme at a mole fraction (XI(50)) of 0.022. Pretreatment with AX 048 (ED50 = 1.2 mg kg) dose-dependently reduces thermal hyperalgesia evoked by carrageenan injection of rat hind paw. At concentrations as high as 30 μM, AX 048 does not inhibit COX activity or interfere with central cannabinoid receptor signaling.
