The novel analgesic filenadol (d, 1-erythro-1-(3',4'-methylenedioxyphenyl)-1- morpholinopropan-2-ol) inhibited phenyl-p-benzoquinone-induced writhing in mice with ID50 values of 68.8 (p.o.), 1.67 (i.v.) and 0.48 (i.c.v.) mg/kg. Hyperalgesia induced by arachidonic acid, PGE2 or LTB4 in this test was also decreased by filenadol (ID50 = 24.4, 3.7 and 50.1 mg/kg p.o., respectively). This compound was effective on PGE2, LTB4, bradykinin, PAF or IL-1 beta-induced decrease in pain threshold in the rat paw pressure model and almost totally suppressed the writhing induced by zymosan in mice, while peritoneal production of 6-ketoPGF1 alpha was inhibited by 48.5-62% and only at 100 mg/kg significant inhibition of LTC4 was achieved. The late phase of formalin-induced pain response in mice was prevented by filenadol, without affecting the oedema. Filenadol is an antinociceptive agent that reduces the hyperalgesic effects of inflammatory mediators besides inhibiting partially the synthesis of eicosanoids.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007213	Indomethacin	A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) that inhibits CYCLOOXYGENASE, which is necessary for the formation of PROSTAGLANDINS and other AUTACOIDS. It also inhibits the motility of POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES.	Amuno,Indocid,Indocin,Indomet 140,Indometacin,Indomethacin Hydrochloride,Metindol,Osmosin
D007249	Inflammation	A pathological process characterized by injury or destruction of tissues caused by a variety of cytologic and chemical reactions. It is usually manifested by typical signs of pain, heat, redness, swelling, and loss of function.

D003061	Codeine	An opioid analgesic related to MORPHINE but with less potent analgesic properties and mild sedative effects. It also acts centrally to suppress cough.

D005557	Formaldehyde	A highly reactive aldehyde gas formed by oxidation or incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. In solution, it has a wide range of uses: in the manufacture of resins and textiles, as a disinfectant, and as a laboratory fixative or preservative. Formaldehyde solution (formalin) is considered a hazardous compound, and its vapor toxic. (From Reynolds, Martindale The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p717)	Formalin,Formol,Methanal,Oxomethane
D006930	Hyperalgesia	An increased sensation of pain or discomfort produced by minimally noxious stimuli due to damage to soft tissue containing NOCICEPTORS or injury to a peripheral nerve.
