Clindamycin inhibits nociceptive response by reducing tumor necrosis factor-α and CXCL-1 production and activating opioidergic mechanisms

The results indicate that the clindamycin’s immunomodulatory effects may contribute to a pharmacological potential beyond its antibiotic property, and are associated with reduced production of TNF-α and CXCL-1 and activation of opioidergic mechanisms.

RI75, a curcumin analogue, inhibits tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 production and exhibits antiallodynic and antiedematogenic activities in mice

The results of the present study demonstrate that RI75, a synthetic curcumin analogue, exhibits antiallodynic and antiedematogenic activities.

Metformin antinociceptive effect in models of nociceptive and neuropathic pain is partially mediated by activation of opioidergic mechanisms.

Potential Impact of Ginsenoside Rg1 on Treatment of Paclitaxel-Induced Neuropathic Pain by TNF-α Inhibitory Action

Treatment of GRg and pregabalin ameliorated the chemotherapeutic agent i.e., PT associated pain response with the control of biomarkers changes like superoxide anion, myeloperoxidase, and TNF-α protein levels and histopathological changes.

Nitric Oxide and Opioids Involvement in Isobolographic Nsaids Antinociception.

Evaluating the possible involvement of the nitridergic pathway due to L-NAME and the opioidergic route by NTX in the antinoception induced by NSAIDs validated that the NSAIDs administered alone or in combinations produce antinociception in which other mechanisms of action must be added to the simple inhibition of COXs.

Effects of leflunomide on immune responses and models of inflammation

The data concerning tyrosine kinase inhibition as a hypothetical mechanism for the non-cytotoxic and reversible antiproliferative activity of A77 1726 are in many ways, intriguing.

A cascade of cytokines mediates mechanical inflammatory hypernociception in mice.

Results extend to mice the concept that the release of primary mediators responsible for hypernociception is preceded by a cascade of cytokines.

A771726, the active metabolite of leflunomide, directly inhibits the activity of cyclo‐oxygenase‐2 in vitro and in vivo in a substrate‐sensitive manner

In vitro and in vivo, leflunomide via A771726 can directly inhibit the activity of COX, an effect that appears blunted both by increases in substrate supply and possibly by plasma binding.

Dynamic effects of leflunomide on IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-alpha activity produced from peritoneal macrophages in adjuvant arthritis rats.

The antiinflammatory mechanisms of LEF in AA rats might be related to inhibitory level of IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-alpha from PMphi in vivo.

Mediators of the inflammation induced in the rat paw by carrageenin

It was concluded that kinins and 5‐HT contributed significantly to oedema formation during this period, and mepyramine and methysergide, at the doses used in the carrageenin experiments, completely antagonized histamine and5‐HT, respectively, and did not affect the skin responses of bradykinin.

Leflunomide protects from T‐cell–mediated liver injury in mice through inhibition of nuclear factor κB

It is concluded that leflunomide is capable of regulating T‐cell–mediated liver injury in vivo and that this event may depend on the decrease of TNF‐α production in the liver through inhibition of NF‐κB activation caused by leflinomide.

Relevance of tumour necrosis factor‐α for the inflammatory and nociceptive responses evoked by carrageenan in the mouse paw

Results clearly indicate that the proinflammatory cytokine TNF‐α plays a critical role in the oedema formation, as well as in the mechanical allodynia and the neutrophil migration, following carrageenan administration into the mouse paw.
