Electroacupuncture alleviates paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy by reducing CCL2-mediated macrophage infiltration in sensory ganglia and sciatic nerve.

Chin Med

January 2025

Department of Neurobiology and Acupuncture Research, The Third Clinical Medical College, Key Laboratory of Acupuncture and Neurology of Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou, China.

Background: Paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN) is prevalent among patients receiving paclitaxel chemotherapy, which results in sensory abnormality as well as neuropathic pain. Conventional medications lack effectiveness on PIPN. Clinical trials identified beneficial effects of acupuncture on PIPN among patients receiving chemotherapy.

CBD and the 5-HT1A receptor: A medicinal and pharmacological review.

Biochem Pharmacol

January 2025

Department of Biomedical Sciences, Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine, University of Houton, Houston, TX, 77204, USA. Electronic address:

Cannabidiol (CBD), a phytocannabinoid, has emerged as a promising candidate for addressing a wide array of symptoms. It has the ability to bind to multiple proteins and receptors, including 5-HT1AR, transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), and cannabinoid receptors. However, CBD's pharmacodynamic interaction with 5-HT1AR and its medicinal outcomes are still debated.

Introduction: Macrophage-inducible C-type lectin (Mincle) has emerged as a potential contributor to neuropathic pain induction and neuroinflammatory responses within the spinal cord. Moreover, evidence suggests a close association between toll-like receptor (TLR) and Mincle expression in myeloid cells. This study evaluated the effectiveness of Mincle antibodies in neuropathic pain and identified the epitope of these antibodies.

N-Palmitoylethanolamide enhances antinociceptive effect of tramadol in neuropathic rats.

Biomed Pharmacother

January 2025

Laboratory 7, "Pain and Analgesia", Department of Pharmacobiology, Center for Research and Advanced Studies (CINVESTAV), Sede Sur, Mexico City, Mexico.

The efficacy of opioids in the treatment of chronic pain is limited; however, the adverse effects they produce are considerable. N-palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), a bioactive lipid mediator with structural similarities to endocannabinoids, has exhibited notable anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects in preclinical models. The objective of this study was to investigate the antinociceptive properties, motor coordination (MC), and constipation effects of tramadol and PEA in combination within a neuropathic pain model.

Cannabidiol has been shown to ameliorate neuropathic pain and its affective components. Previous studies highlighted the pharmacological interaction between the CBD and opioid system, particularly the MOR, but the understanding of the interaction between CBD and kappa opioid receptor (KOR), physiologically stimulated by the endogenous opioid dynorphin, remains elusive. We assessed the pharmacological interactions between CBD and nor-BNI, a selective KOR antagonist in a rat neuropathic pain model.
