Abstract

Goshajinkigan (GJG), a traditional Japanese Kampo formula, has been shown to exhibit several pharmacological actions, including antinociceptive effects. Processed aconite root (PA), which is considered to be an active ingredient of GJG, has also been demonstrated to have an ameliorative effect on pain, such as diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain. We recently identified neoline as the active ingredient of both GJG and PA that is responsible for its effects against oxaliplatin-induced neuropathic pain in mice.
