ABSTRACT
Dexmedetomidine, which is a selective alpha2-adrenoceptor agonist, was recently introduced into clinical practice for its analgesic properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine in a vincristine-evoked neuropathic rat models. Sprague-Dawley rats were injected intraperitoneally with vincristine or saline (0.1 mg/kg/day) using a 5-day-on, 2-day-off schedule for 2 weeks. Saline and dexmedetomidine (12.5, 25, 50, and 100 microg/kg) were injected to rats developed allodynia 14 days after vincristine injection, respectively. We evaluated allodynia at before, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, and 240 min, and 24 hr after intraperitoneal drug (normal saline or dexmedetomidine) injection. Saline treatment did not show any differences for all the allodynia. Maximal paw withdrawal thresholds to mechanical stimuli were 3.0 +/- 0.4, 9.1 +/- 1.9, 13.0 +/- 3.6, 16.6 +/- 2.4, and 24.4 +/- 1.6 g at saline, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 microg/kg dexmedetomidine injection, respectively. Minimal withdrawal frequency to cold stimuli were 73.3 +/- 4.2, 57.1 +/- 6.8, 34.3 +/- 5.7, 20.0 +/- 6.2, and 14.3 +/- 9.5 g at saline, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 microg/kg dexmedetomidine injection, respectively. Dexmedetomidine shows a dose-dependent antiallodynic effect on mechanical and cold stimuli in vincristine-evoked neuropathic rat models (P < 0.05).
