Research Abstract

A novel local anesthetic, QX-314 is known to have an effect of Na+ channel blockade.This action requires it to enter through TRIPV1 channel on the surface of the neuron and make a blockade action inside the neuron. Thus, we aimed to study the possibility of QX-314 in anti-nociceptive effect and investigated the effects of QX-314 on the withdraw threshold which was decreased by a resection of inferior alveolar nerve in the rats. The results were that QX-314 using together with capsaicin, the threshold became to be elevated. This was consistent with histological findings that TRIPV1channels increased in the injured trigeminal nerve. These suggested that QX-314 has a potential to be used as a therapeutic tool for neuropathic pain.
