ABSTRACT
Abstract The study on the efficacy of oral analgesics reported that no single class of drug is effective in post-surgical dental pain. Pain following removal of third molar is most commonly used and widely accepted acute pain model for assessing the analgesic effect of drugs in humans. Reports demonstrated that analgesic efficacy in the human dental model is highly predictive. The high incidence of false-negative findings in analgesic investigations hinders the process of molecular discovery. Molecular mechanism of post-surgical pain is not known. More importantly, the animal model for postoperative dental pain is not well established. In an attempt to discover an effective post-surgical dental pain blocker with acceptable side effects, it is essential to elucidate the molecular mechanism of post-operative dental pain. The present study investigated mandibular molars extraction in rat as an animal model for the post-operative dental pain in central nervous system. Using c-Fos immunohistochemistry, we demonstrated that pre administration of GBP (150 mg/kg. i.p) significantly (p< 0.01) neutralized the surgical molar extraction induced c-Fos expression bilaterally in rat hypothalamus. Present results indicate that pain after surgical molar extraction might follow novel neural pathways therefore difficult to treat with existing anti-nociceptive drugs.
RESUMO
Resumo O estudo da eficácia relativa dos analgésicos orais relatou que nenhuma classe única de fármaco é eficaz na dor pós-cirúrgica dental. A dor após a remoção do terceiro molar é o modelo de dor aguda mais comumente usado e amplamente aceito para avaliar o efeito analgésico de drogas em seres humanos. Os relatos demonstraram que a eficácia analgésica no modelo dental humano é altamente preditiva. A alta incidência de achados falso-negativos em investigações analgésicas dificulta o processo de descoberta molecular. O mecanismo molecular da dor pós-cirúrgica não é conhecido. Mais importante ainda, o modelo animal para a dor pós-operatória não está bem estabelecido. Numa tentativa de descobrir um bloqueador de dor dental pós-cirúrgico eficaz com efeitos secundários aceitáveis, é essencial elucidar o mecanismo molecular da dor pós-operatória dental. Neste estudo investigamos a extração de molares inferiores de ratos como modelo animal para a dor pós-operatória no sistema nervoso central. Utilizando análise imunohistoquímica de c-Fos, demonstrou-se que a administração prévia de GBP (150 mg/kg i.p) significativamente (p<0,01) neutralizou a expressão c-Fos induzida por extração molar cirúrgica bilateralmente no hipotálamo de rato. Os resultados indicam que a dor após a extração molar cirúrgica pode seguir novas vias neurais, portanto, difícil tratar com as drogas anti-nociceptivas existentes.
