BACKGROUND This study was designed to investigate the antinociceptive eff ect of morphine, paracetamol and nefopam in rats lesioned with DSP-4 as neonates. MATERIAL AND METHODS Intact male rats were contrasted with rats in which noradrenergic nerve terminals were largely destroyed shortly after birth with the neurotoxin DSP-4 [(N-(-2-chloroethyl)-N-ethyl-2-bromobenzylamine; 50 mg/kg sc x2], on the 1st and 3rd days of postnatal life. When rats attained 10 weeks of age, painful reactions were assessed by means of tail immersion test and paw pressure test. Also monoamine levels in some part of the brain were estimated using HPLC/ED method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION In the tail immersion test we showed that there are no diff erences between antinociceptive eff ect evoked by morphine (5.0 mg/kg sc) and paracetamol (100 mg/kg ip) between control and DSP-4 rats. Nefopam (20 mg/kg ip) elicited only slight analgesia in control rats (~ 17 %), this eff ect was no longer observed in the DSP-4 treated group. In the paw pressure test we demonstrated that morphine and paracetamol produced lower analgesia in DSP-4 rats in comparison to control. Nefopam evoked slight analgesia in both tested groups. In biochemical study we showed that in DSP-4 treated rats there was a marked decrease in NA level in the prefrontal cortex (to 10.4 %, p<0.01), thalamus with hypothalamus (to 54.4 %, p<0.05) and spinal cord (to 12.3 %, p<0.01) in comparison to the control group. Conversely, in the cerebellum and brain stem of DSP-4 lesioned rats there was a signifi cant increase in the NA content versus control (respectively to 171.2 % and 123.5 % of NA in controls, p<0.05). In the striatum we did not observe any changes in NA level between examined groups. Also the levels of 5-HT and its metabolite 5-HIAA were not altered by DSP-4 treatment in all tested structures with the exception of the spinal cord (approx. 40% decrease) and the level of DOPAC (also 40% reduction). In conclusion, the obtained results showed that neonatal DSP-4 treatment alters the antinociceptive eff ects of examined drugs (each of them with diff erent mechanism of action). These data lead to the proposal that perhaps there is a need to adjust the doses of analgetics applied to patients with noradrenergic system dysfunction (e.g. depression and/or anxiety disorders).

W niniejszym eksperymencie oceniono wpływ lezji ośrodkowego układu noradrenergicznego wykonanej u noworodków szczurzych na przeciwbólowe efekty morfi ny, paracetamolu i nefopamu u dorosłych szczurów. MATERIAŁ I METODY 1-go i 3-go dnia życia noworodkom szczurzym podano neurotoksynę DSP-4 (50 mg/kg sc). Zwierzęta kontrolne otrzymały 0.9% roztwór NaCl (1.0 ml/kg sc). Po osiągnięciu wieku 10-ciu tygodni wykonano test imersji ogona oraz test wycofania łapy. Ponadto posługując się metodą HPLC/ED oznaczono zawartość amin biogennych i ich metabolitów w wybranych częściach mózgu badanych zwierząt. WYNIKI I WNIOSKI Nie stwierdzono różnicy w przeciwbólowym działaniu morfi ny (5.0 mg/kg sc) i paracetamolu (100 mg/kg ip) w teście imersji ogona pomiędzy grupą kontrolną i DSP-4, natomiast nefopam 20 mg/kg ip wywoływał słabszą analgezję u zwierząt DSP-4 w porównaniu do kontroli. Działanie przeciwbólowe morfi ny i paracetamolu w teście wycofania łapy było silniej wyrażone u szczurów kontrolnych w porównaniu do grupy DSP-4. Nie stwierdzono natomiast różnic w przeciwbólowych efektach nefopamu pomiędzy grupą kontrolną a DSP-4. DSP-4 stosowany 1 i 3-go dnia życia pozapłodowego spowodował istotny spadek zawartości NA w korze przedczołowej (do 10.4 %, p<0.005), wzgórzu z podwzgórzem (do 54.4 %, p<0.005) oraz w rdzeniu kręgowym (12.3 %, p<0.005) w porównaniu do kontroli. W móżdżku oraz w pniu mózgu u szczurów DSP- 4 obserwowano istotny wzrost zawartości NA (odpowiednio do 171.2 % i 123.5 % wartości NA u szczurów kontrolnych, p<0.005; p<0.05). W prążkowiu nie stwierdzono zmian zawartości NA. Podanie DSP-4 nie miało istotnego wpływu na zawartość 5-HT i jej metabolitu 5-HIAA oraz DA i jej metabolitów DOPAC oraz HVA we wszystkich badanych strukturach mózgu poza rdzeniem kręgowym. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań wyciągnięto wnioski, iż zniszczenie ośrodkowego układu noradrenergicznego zmienia przeciwbólowe efekty badanych analgetyków. Powyższe może pośrednio wskazywać na konieczność odpowiedniego dostosowania dawek tych leków u pacjentów z dysfunkcją ośrodkowego układu noradrenergicznego (np. u chorych z depresją lub zaburzeniami lękowymi).
