Non-specific activity of (+/-)-CP-96,345 in models of pain and inflammation
Abstract
The non-peptide NK1 receptor antagonist, CP-96,345, and its 2R,3R enantiomer CP-96,344, which is not an NK1 receptor antagonist (IC50 > 10 microM), were evaluated for antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities in several classical models of pain and inflammation in the rat. Both CP-96,345 and CP-96,344 reduced carrageenin-induced paw oedema and hyperalgesia, and attenuated the second phase of formalin-induced paw licking with equal potency. These results indicate that NK1 antagonism is not responsible for the activity of (+/-)-CP-96,345 in the above animal models.
