Recently, we reported that the centrally acting non-narcotic antitussive (cough suppressant drug), tipepidine produces an antidepressant-like effect in the forced swimming test, although the mechanism of action appears to be quite different from that of known antidepressants. In the present study, we investigated whether a combination of tipepidine and carbamazepine acts synergistically to induce an antinociceptive effect in the acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice. Prior to studying the combination of tipepidine and carbamazepine, the analgesic action of tipepidine alone was also examined in mice. Tipepidine at 5–40 mg/kg i.p. significantly reduced the number of writhes induced by acetic acid in mice. Carbamazepine at 20 mg/kg i.p. also significantly reduced the writhing reaction. Furthermore, co-administration of carbamazepine (5 and 10 mg/kg, i.p.) and tipepidine (2.5 mg/kg i.p.) significantly decreased the number of writhes induced by acetic acid. This finding suggests that a combination of carbamazepine and tipepidine may be a new strategy for the treatment of neuropathic pain such as what occurs in trigeminal neuralgia, because the use of carbamazepine is often limited by its adverse effects and by reduction of its analgesic efficacy by microsomal enzyme induction., http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6T1J-51JXFP1-S&_user=4545557&_coverDate=01%2F25%2F2011&_rdoc=1&_fmt=high&_orig=gateway&_origin=gateway&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_acct=C000008298&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=4545557&md5=8b9435572e26660fc145da2e40e62499&searchtype=a}, pages = {106--108}, title = {Tipepidine enhances the antinociceptive-like action of carbamazepine in the acetic acid writhing test}, volume = {651}, year = {2011}, yomi = {カワウラ, カズアキ and ミキ, リサ and ホンダ, ソウキチ and ソエダ, フミオ and シラサキ, テツヤ and タカハマ, カズオ} }
