Popis: ABT-594, a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist, has antinociceptive effects in rat models of acute thermal, persistent chemical, and neuropathic pain. Direct injection of ABT-594 into the nucleus raphe magnus (NRM) is antinociceptive in a thermal threshold test and destruction of serotonergic neurons in the NRM attenuates the effect of systemic ABT-594. However, lidocaine-inactivation of the NRM prevents the antinociceptive effect of systemic (-)-nicotine but not that of systemic ABT-594.
