Abstract:
:We have examined the effects of intrathecally (i.t.) administered CP-96,345, a non-peptide NK1 receptor ligand, on the spinal nociceptive flexor reflex and on the facilitation of this reflex evoked by i.t. substance P (SP), neurokinin A (NKA) and electrical conditioning stimulation of cutaneous C-afferents. CP-96,345 i.t. at 24 pmol-2.4 nmol had no significant effect on flexor reflex excitability. At the highest dose tested (24 nmol), CP-96,345 caused a brief facilitation of the flexor reflex, which was similar to the effect of the vehicle used at this drug concentration. CP-96,345 did not depress the flexor reflex at any dose. In rats with chronically implanted i.t. catheters, CP-96,345 at 24 nmol caused neither motor impairment nor morphological damage to the spinal cord. Pretreatment with CP-96,345 dose dependently and similarly antagonized facilitation of the flexor reflex induced by 7 pmol i.t. SP or by a 20-s, 1-Hz conditioning stimulus train applied to cutaneous C-fibers in the sural nerve innervation area. The vehicle had no effect. The antagonistic effect of CP-96,345 on the SP- and C-fiber reflex facilitation induced by conditioning stimulation became maximal only 20-30 min after the i.t. injection and lasted 3-4 h at the highest dose. CP-96,345 did not significantly block the facilitatory effect of 7 pmol i.t. NKA on the flexor reflex. These results demonstrate that CP-96,345 is a potent, long-lasting and selective antagonist of SP in rat spinal cord. Furthermore, facilitation of the flexor reflex (central sensitization) induced by conditioning stimulation of cutaneous C-afferents is mediated by NK1 tachykinin receptors, but the NK1 receptor may not be involved in the transmission of the flexor reflex. CP-96,345 is thus useful in experimental studies of the role of SP in the central nervous system.
