Anti-allodynic and anti-hyperalgesic activity of (±)-licarin A in neuropathic rats via NO-cyclic-GMP-ATP-sensitive K+ channel pathway.

The study aimed to examine the effect of intraperitoneal and intrathecal (±)-licarin A in neuropathic pain induced by L5 and L6 spinal nerve ligation (SNL) in male Wistar rats and the possible involvement of the NO-cGMP-ATP-sensitive K channel pathway. Neuropathic pain signs (allodynia and hyperalgesia) were evaluated on postoperative Day 14 using von Frey filaments. Single intraperitoneal (0.
