The voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) currents in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons contain mainly TTX-sensitive (TTX-S) and TTX-resistant (TTX-R) Na+ currents. Magnolol (Mag), a hydroxylated biphenyl compound isolated from the bark of Magnolia officinalis, has been well documented to exhibit analgesic effects, but its mechanism is not yet fully understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the antinociceptive effects of Mag is through inhibition of Na+ currents. Na+ currents in freshly isolated mouse DRG neurons were recorded with the whole cell patch clamp technique. Results showed that Mag inhibited TTX-S and TTX-R Na+ currents in a concentration-dependent manner. The IC50 values for block of TTX-S and TTX-R Na+ currents were 9.4 and 7.0 μmol/L, respectively. Therefore, TTX-R Na+ current was more susceptible to Mag than TTX-S Na+ current. For TTX-S Na+ channel, 10 μmol/L Mag shifted the steady state inactivation curve toward more negative by 9.8 mV, without affecting the activation curve. For TTX-R Na+ channel, 7 μmol/L Mag shifted the steady state activation and inactivation curves toward more positive and negative potentials by 6.5 and 11.7 mV, respectively. In addition, Mag significantly postponed recovery of TTX-S and TTX-R Na+ currents from inactivation, and produced frequency dependent blocks of both subtypes of Na+ currents. These results suggest that the inhibitory effects of Mag on Na+ channels may contribute to its analgesic effect.

D005727 Ganglia, Spinal Sensory ganglia located on the dorsal spinal roots within the vertebral column. The spinal ganglion cells are pseudounipolar. The single primary branch bifurcates sending a peripheral process to carry sensory information from the periphery and a central branch which relays that information to the spinal cord or brain.

D017705 Lignans A class of dibenzylbutane derivatives which occurs in higher plants and in fluids (bile, serum, urine, etc.) in man and other animals. These compounds, which have a potential anti-cancer role, can be synthesized in vitro by human fecal flora.

D018408 Patch-Clamp Techniques An electrophysiologic technique for studying cells, cell membranes, and occasionally isolated organelles. All patch-clamp methods rely on a very high-resistance seal between a micropipette and a membrane; the seal is usually attained by gentle suction. The four most common variants include on-cell patch, inside-out patch, outside-out patch, and whole-cell clamp. Patch-clamp methods are commonly used to voltage clamp, that is control the voltage across the membrane and measure current flow, but current-clamp methods, in which the current is controlled and the voltage is measured, are also used.
