概要 Antidepressants are often used for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Clinical studies suggest that the efficacy of serotonin (5-HT) and noradrenaline (NA) reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) for neuropathic pain is greater than that of selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). In the present study, we determined the efficacy and mechanisms involved in the antihyperalgesic effects of milnacipran, an SNRI, compared with paroxetine, an SSRI, and maprotiline, a selective NA reuptake inhibitor, using a rat model of neuropathic pain. Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent spinal nerve ligation (SNL), and the withdrawal threshold to paw pressure was measured. Intraperitoneal injection of milnacipran (3-30 mg/kg) produced a dose-dependent antihyperalgesic effect. The effect was reversed by intrathecal injection of the a2-adrenoceptor antagonist idazoxan (30 mu g), but not by various 5-HT receptor antagonists. Paroxetine produced an antihyperalgesic effect only at the highest dose tested (10 mg/kg). This effect was reversed by intrathecal injection of both idazoxan and ondansetron (30 mu g), a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. Maprotiline produced an antihyperalgesic effect (10 and 30 mg/kg), and the effec
