Spinal Antinociceptive Action of Amiloride and Its Interaction with Tizanidine in the Rat Formalin Test

Abstract: Several ionic channels, receptors and enzymes have been reported to be affected by amiloride. It is known to act on pharmacological target sites that are implicated in pain processing. Tizanidine is a centrally acting alpha2-adrenoceptor agonist used in the treatment of muscle spasms. The effectiveness of the antinociceptive interaction of amiloride and tizanidine was investigated using the rat formalin test.

“…Synergistic interactions potentially occur when drugs affect different critical points along a common pathway. Therefore, the simultaneous activation of a common, second messenger pathway within individual neurons by two different receptors may facilitate the analgesic response [Ouyang et al, ; Isiordia‐Espinoza et al, ] leading to a pharmacodynamic interaction. However, a pharmacokinetic interaction could not be ruled out.…”

“…The combination of naproxen and rutin produced an antinociceptive synergistic interaction in the acetic acid test, shown by their degree of interaction which was less than 1. This type of interactions might occur by the simultaneous activation of a common second messenger pathway within individual neurons by two different receptors, leading to an analgesic response [Ouyang et al, ]. In addition, other nociceptive tests such as tail‐flick and hot‐plate will be assessed using this combination.…”
