Outline of Final Research Achievements

Opioid analgesic is a powerful analgesic, but it is reported to cause the rapid diminishment (acute tolerance) of the analgesic effect and augmentation of the pain (hyperalgesia). However, underlying mechanism of these phenomena is unclear and even the presence of them is controversial. Administration of remifentanil to spinal cord slice preparation and an in vivo spinal cord surface decreased the frequency of the excitatory postsynaptic currents, but the increase of the frequency was not found after administration of remifentanil. From these results, remifentanil inhibited excitatory synapse transmission of the spinal cord dorsal neurons through μ opioid receptor. However, we did not confirm the acute tolerance and hyperalgesia induced by remifentanil.
