Antinociceptive effects of tetrodotoxin (TTX) in rodents.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a powerful sodium channel blocker extracted from the puffer fish. The analgesic effects of TTX were investigated in different animal pain models. METHODS:Wistar rats were submitted to the formalin test and to partial ligation of the sciatic nerve (Seltzer's model). Swiss Webster mice were used in the writhing test. Rodents were divided into six groups receiving a s.c. injection of either 0.9% NaCl, TTX 0.3, 1, 3, or 6 microg kg(-1), or morphine (5 mg kg(-1)). Substances were injected 30 min before 2.5% formalin injection into the hind paw, acetic acid administration intraperitoneally or neuropathic pain testing consisting of mechanical allodynia (von Frey filament) and thermal hyperalgesia (Plantar test). RESULTS:TTX decreased pain behaviour in the formalin test at the highest dose and in the writhing test at 3 and 6 microg kg(-1). It also diminished mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia with an ED(50) of 1.08 (0.89) and 0.62 (0.33) microg kg(-1), respectively. Observation of the rats after TTX injection did not show any motor deficit, respiratory distress or sedation. Morphine was also effective in relieving pain in all three tests but with signs of considerable sedation. CONCLUSION:Systemic injections of TTX diminished pain behaviour in a dose-dependent manner in models of inflammatory, visceral and neuropathic pain without causing adverse events, whereas morphine analgesia was associated with heavy sedation. TTX is a very promising substance for the treatment of various types of pain but needs further evaluation.
