NOS inhibition reverses TLR2-induced chondrocyte dysfunction and attenuates age-related osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disease featuring cartilage breakdown and chronic pain. Although age and joint trauma are prominently associated with OA occurrence, the trigger and signaling pathways propagating their […]

Novel Pulsed-Ultrahigh-Frequency Spinal Cord Stimulation Inhibits Mechanical Hypersensitivity and Brain Neuronal Activity in Rats after Nerve Injury.

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an important pain treatment modality. We hypothesized that a novel pulsed-ultrahigh-frequency SCS (pUHF-SCS) could safely and effectively inhibit spared nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain in rats.

ALX/FPR2 Activation by Stereoisomers of D1 Resolvins Elucidating with Molecular Dynamics Simulation.

Chronic inflammation contributes to several diseases, but its resolution is driven by specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPM) such as resolvin D1 (RvD1) and its epimer aspirin-triggered resolvin D1 (AT-RvD1), both biosynthesized […]

Inhibition of nuclear receptor RORγ ameliorates mechanical hypersensitivity through the suppression of spinal microglial activation.

Microglia are crucial in induction of central sensitization under a chronic pain state. Therefore, control of microglial activity is important to ameliorate nociceptive hypersensitivity. The nuclear receptor retinoic acid related […]

Nanoliposomal oxaliplatin ameliorates chemotherapy-induced neuropathy.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is an important adverse effect of treatment with oxaliplatin (OXA). We have developed PEGylated nanoliposomal oxaliplatin (OXA-LIP) and tested its activity in an animal model of […]

A mouse model of sensory neuropathy induced by a long course of monomethyl-auristatin E treatment.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are anticancer drugs consisting of a monoclonal antibody, targeting selective tumor antigens, to which has been frequently associated a highly potent cytotoxic agent, the monomethyl auristatin E […]

Anti-Inflammatory and Pro-resolving Actions of the N-Terminal Peptides Ac2-26, Ac2-12 and Ac9-25 of Annexin A1 on Conjunctival Goblet Cell Function.

Annexin A1 (AnxA1) is the main mediator of the anti-inflammatory actions of glucocorticoids. AnxA1 functions as a pro-resolving mediator in cultured rat conjunctival goblet cells to ensure tissue homeostasis through […]

A clindamycin acetylated derivative with reduced antibacterial activity inhibits articular hyperalgesia and edema by attenuating neutrophil recruitment, NF-κB activation and tumor necrosis factor-α production.

We recently demonstrated that clindamycin exhibits activities in acute and chronic models of pain and inflammation. In the present study, we investigated the effects of clindamycin and a clindamycin acetylated […]

Obesity and its chronic inflammation as pain potentiation factor in rats with osteoarthritis.

Obesity produces the accumulation of adipose tissue and a chronic inflammatory process, while osteoarthritis (OA) is also an inflammatory disorder.

Dual Piperidine-Based Histamine H and Sigma-1 Receptor Ligands in the Treatment of Nociceptive and Neuropathic Pain.

In search of new dual-acting histamine H/sigma-1 receptor ligands, we designed a series of compounds structurally based on highly active ligands previously studied and described by our team. However, we […]
