Abstract | Purpose: Although abnormal peripheral and central pain processing has been observed in fibromyalgia (FM) patients, the biomechanics and pathophysiology, surrounding the peripheral mechanism are not well understood. An intermediate conductance channel, K Methods: Human or rat K Results: ASP0819 increased the negative membrane potential in a concentration-dependent manner. Oral administration of ASP0819 significantly recovered the decrease in muscle pressure threshold in rat FM models of RIM and VIM. The in vivo electrophysiological experiments showed that Aδ- and C-fibers innervating the leg muscles in the RIM model demonstrated increased spontaneous and mechanically evoked firing compared with normal rats. Intravenous infusion of ASP0819 significantly reduced both the spontaneous activity and mechanically evoked responses in Aδ-fibers in the rat RIM model. ASP0819 significantly reduced the number of abdominal contractions as an indicator of abdominal pain behaviors in the rat visceral extension model and withdrawal responses in the osteoarthritis model, respectively. Conclusion: These findings suggest that ASP0819 may be a promising analgesic agent with the ability to modulate peripheral pain signal transmission. Its use in the treatment of several pain conditions should be explored, chief amongst these being FM pain. |
