概要 BACKGROUND: Antidepressants are often used for the treatment of neuropathic pain, and their analgesic effects rely on increased noradrenaline and serotonin levels in the spinal cord. Clinical studies have also shown that bupropion, a dopamine and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, has strong efficacy in neuropathic pain; however, the role of spinal cord dopamine in neuropathic pain is unknown. We hypothesized that bupropion inhibits neuropathic pain by increasing noradrenaline and dopamine in the spinal cord. In the present study, we determined the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of intrathecal administration of bupropion in a rat model of neuropathic pain.METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized, and right L5 spinal nerve ligation (SNL) was performed to produce mechanical hyperalgesia of the hindpaw. Withdrawal threshold to a paw pressure test was measured before and after intrathecal administration of bupropion, without or with intrathecal antagonists for alpha(2)-adrenoceptors and dopamine D-2 receptors. In vivo microdialysis was performed in the dorsal horn of the lumbar spinal cord to measurenoradrenaline and dopamine concentrations after intrathecal injection o
