Pain that accompanies neuropathy is difficult to treat. Analgesics administered as monotherapies possess low activities in relieving this kind of pain.The effect of the simultaneous administration of indomethacin (a preferential inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-1; COX-1) or celecoxib (a relatively selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2; COX-2), with selective antagonists of bradykinin2 (B2) bradykinin1 (B1) receptors (HOE 140 or des-Arg10-HOE 140) on the eleviation of diabetic and toxic neuropathic pain was investigated.Pretreatment with indomethacin (0.1 mg/kg, sc) increased the antihyperalgesic activity of low daily doses of HOE 140 or des-Arg10HOE 140 (70 nmol/kg, ip) in a diabetic (streptozotocin(STZ)-induced) neuropathy/hyperalgesia experimental model. Premedication with celecoxib before HOE 140 or des-Arg10HOE 140 administration resulted in a gradual reduction of STZ hyperalgesia. Furthermore, on days 23–24, almost complete abolishment of STZ hyperalgesia was observed. After cessation of drug administration, hyperalgesia quickly returned to the baseline threshold.The results of this study suggest that inhibitors of cyclooxygenases can increase the antihyperalgesic activity of selective antagonists of B2 and B1 receptors in diabetic and toxic neuropathic pain models. These observations may be clinically relevant.
