Abstract | Migraine is a devitalizing neurovascular disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. This study was directed against the determination of the effectiveness of carvacrol against migraine. In silico results revealed that carvacrol possesses specific scoring values of - 4.4 to - 6 against selected targets. In vivo studies showed that carvacrol (25-50 mg/Kg) decreased migraine pain by reversing thermal allodynia, mechanical allodynia, number of head-scratching, and light phobicity in rats. Levels of glutathione, glutathione-s-transferase, and catalase enhanced in the cortex and trigeminal nucleus caudalis of the animal's brain tissues, i.e., cortex and trigeminal nucleus caudalis with the use of carvacrol, while a significant decrease in lipid peroxide level was seen. Histopathological evaluation showed improvement in cellular architecture and a decrease in expression of certain inflammatory markers such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha, nuclear factor kappa B, interleukin-18, and prostaglandin E2 validated by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay, immunohistochemistry, and western blot analysis. This study indicates that carvacrol exhibits binding affinities against different targets involved in migraine pathology and possesses anti-migraine action, mediated through anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant pathways. |
