Dehydrocorydaline chloride

Dehydrocorydaline (3.6, 6 or 10 mg/kg, ip) shows a dose-dependent anticiceptive effect in the acetic acid-induced writhing test and significantly attenuates the formalin-induced pain responses in mice. In the formalin test , dehydrocorydaline decreases the expression of caspase 6 (CASP6), TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 proteins in the spinal cord. These findings confirm that Dehydrocorydaline has antinociceptive effects in mice.
