Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Sumatriptan is widely used for the treatment of migraine . This drug targets the serotonin receptor subtypes 1B, 1D, and 1F. Although clinical use of sumatriptan is only for headache, we have previously shown that intrathecal sumatriptan has antinociceptive activity in mouse behavioral models of non-migrainous, somatic and visceral inflammatory pain.Purpose of experiments were to investigate the detail mechanism of serotonin receptor subtypes. Pharmacological experiments with agonist and antagonnist of each receptor were performed with formalin tests in mice.The anti-hyperalgesic property of intrathecal sumatriptan in the formalin test is not mediated by a single receptor subtype but by the combined action of the serotonin receptor subtypes1B and 1D. In further experiments, we found that sumatritan exerts its antinociceptive effect on the site of post synapse in spinal cord and sumatriptan does not have anti-hiperalgesic effect in cancer pain model.
