چکیده

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antinociceptive effects and potential mechanisms of the spirocyclopiperazinium compound LXM-15. We found that LXM-15 produced significant antinociceptive effects in a dose- and time-dependent manner in mice. The maximum inhibition ratio was 70% in the acetic acid writhing test; the effect started at 1.0 h, peaked at 2.0 h with the MPEs of 61%, and persisted 3.5 h in the hot-plate test; LXM-15 reduced the time spent licking or biting the injected paw remarkably with inhibitions of 53% in formalin test. LXM-15 did not affect motor coordination, spontaneous activity, body temperature, heart rate, or liver enzyme activity, the LD(50) values was 616.26 μmol/kg. The antinociceptive effect of LXM-15 was blocked by mecamylamine, hexamethonium, atropine or atropine methylnitrate, and was also blocked by MLA, tropicamide. In contrast, the effect was not blocked by naloxone. Meanwhile, competition receptor binding assays showed LXM-15 can bind to α7 nAChR or M4 mAChR. Our studies show that LXM-15 may be via activating peripheral α7 nicotnic and M4 muscarinic receptors, resulted in antinociceptive effects.

The present study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects of LXM-10 by intragastric administration in both acute and chronic inflammatory models, and to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms. The results showed that LXM-10 produced significant anti-inflammatory effects on carrageenan induced paw edema and complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) induced arthritis, in which LXM-10 inhibited pa...

Acetylcholine receptors in the retinas of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor knockout mouse

PURPOSE The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is widely expressed in the nervous system, including in the inner retinal neurons in all species studied to date. Although reductions in the expression of α7 nAChRs are thought to contribute to the memory and visual deficits reported in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and schizophrenia , the α7 nAChR knockout (KO) mouse is viable and has only sli...

Anti-inflammatory effect of the spirocyclopiperazinium compound LXM-10 in mice and rats.

Anti-inflammatory drugs are clinically limited because of their side effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activities and mechanisms of the spirocyclopiperazinium compound LXM-10 (2, 4-dimethyl-9-beta-phenylethyl-3-oxo-6, 9-diazaspiro[5.5]undecane chloride). We found that LXM-10 produced a significant, dose-dependent decrease in xylene- and carrageenin-induced ede...

The antinociceptive effects of nicotinic receptors α7-positive allosteric modulators in murine acute and tonic pain models.

The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtype is abundantly expressed in the central nervous system and in the periphery. Recent evidence suggests that α7 nAChR subtypes, which can be activated by an endogenous cholinergic tone, comprising acetylcholine and the α7 nAChR agonist choline, play an important role in subchronic pain and inflammation. This study's objective was to test whet...

Nicotinic modulation of descending pain control circuitry.

Along with the well-known rewarding effects, activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) can also relieve pain, and some nicotinic agonists have analgesic efficacy similar to opioids. A major target of analgesic drugs is the descending pain modulatory pathway, including the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG) and the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM). Although activating nAC...
