Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used in pain whose mechanism of action is the inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COXs), however, there are evidence of other mechanisms of action, such as the inhibition of substance P, interaction with systems NO, monoaminergic and others. The objective of the present work was to study the participation of -1 (prazosin) and -2 (yohimbine) adrenoceptors antagonists in the antinociception of dexketoprofen, the S (+) enantiomer of ketoprofen. The antinociception evaluation was thru the mice orofacial formalin assay. Dexketoprofen (DEX) induced a dose-related antinociception 3.40 times more potent in phase I than in phase II. Prazosin i.p. decreased of the antinociception of DEX, 2.01 times in phase I and 4.02 times in phase II. Administered i.t. reduced the antinociception 5.30 times in phase I and 6.20 times in phase II. Yohimbine i.p. induced a reduction of the ED50 of 3.40 times in phase I and 4.50 times in phase II, after i.t. administration the reduction was 5.30 times in phase I and 6.20 times in phase II. The mechanism of antinociception induced by DEX is mediated by the activation of α-1 and α-2 adrenergic receptors at supraspinal and spinal levels.
