mecamylamine and Allodynia

mecamylamine has been researched along with Allodynia in 11 studies

Mecamylamine: A nicotinic antagonist that is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and crosses the blood-brain barrier. Mecamylamine has been used as a ganglionic blocker in treating hypertension, but, like most ganglionic blockers, is more often used now as a research tool.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Thus, the purpose of the present studies was to evaluate whether the neuronal nicotinic receptor agonist epibatidine possesses antihyperalgesic activity in the formalin model of facial pain."7.71Antihyperalgesic activity of epibatidine in the formalin model of facial pain. ( Clark, TM; Flores, CM; Gilbert, SD, 2001)
" Subsequently, a single intraperitoneal injection of the nicotinic receptor antagonist mecamylamine induced behavioral symptoms of withdrawal measured as increased grooming, chewing, scratching, and shaking, plus the appearance of some unique behaviors such as jumping, leg tremors, and cage scratching."3.72Decreased signs of nicotine withdrawal in mice null for the beta4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit. ( De Biasi, M; Pieri, F; Salas, R, 2004)
" Thus, the purpose of the present studies was to evaluate whether the neuronal nicotinic receptor agonist epibatidine possesses antihyperalgesic activity in the formalin model of facial pain."3.71Antihyperalgesic activity of epibatidine in the formalin model of facial pain. ( Clark, TM; Flores, CM; Gilbert, SD, 2001)
" Because nucleus accumbens nicotinic receptors are important in nicotine addiction and because nicotinic activity can interact with opioid action, we investigated the contribution of nucleus accumbens nicotinic receptors to opioid-mediated analgesia/antinociception."3.71Nicotine withdrawal hyperalgesia and opioid-mediated analgesia depend on nicotine receptors in nucleus accumbens. ( Gear, RW; Levine, JD; Schmidt, BL; Tambeli, CH, 2001)
"The nicotine plasma levels were also measured with or without methoxsalen pretreatment."1.40Effects of methoxsalen, a CYP2A5/6 inhibitor, on nicotine dependence behaviors in mice. ( Bagdas, D; Damaj, MI; Muldoon, PP; Tyndale, RF; Zhu, AZ, 2014)
" This hypothesis was further established with methyllycaconitine completely inhibited the agonist effect when dosed intrathecally (1% +/- 7%)."1.35Activation of the alpha7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor reverses complete freund adjuvant-induced mechanical hyperalgesia in the rat via a central site of action. ( Billinton, A; Bingham, S; Chessell, IP; Clayton, NM; Hatcher, JP; Hille, CJ; Medhurst, SJ, 2008)
"Mecamylamine treatment caused a biphasic nociceptive response similar to that caused by isoflurane."1.31Isoflurane hyperalgesia is modulated by nicotinic inhibition. ( Coates, KM; Flood, P; Gong, D; Sonner, JM, 2002)
