The vanilloid receptor 1 (VR1) is a cation channel expressed predominantly by nociceptive sensory neurons and is activated by a wide array of pain-producing stimuli, including capsaicin, noxious heat, and low pH. Although the behavioral effects of injected capsaicin and the VR1 antagonist capsazepine have indicated a potential role for VR1 in the generation and maintenance of persistent pain states, species differences in the molecular pharmacology of VR1 and a limited number of selective ligands have made VR1 difficult to study in vivo. N-(4-Tertiarybutylphenyl)-4-(3-cholorphyridin-2-yl)tetrahydropryazine-1(2H)-carbox-amide (BCTC) is a recently described inhibitor of capsaicin- and acid-mediated currents at rat VR1. Here, we report the effects of BCTC on acute, inflammatory, and neuropathic pain in rats. Administration of BCTC (30 mg/kg p.o.) significantly reduced both mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia induced by intraplantar injection of 30 µg of capsaicin. In rats with Freund's complete adjuvantinduced inflammation, BCTC significantly reduced the accompanying thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia (3 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg p.o., respectively). BCTC also reduced mechanical hyperalgesia and tactile allodynia 2 weeks after partial sciatic nerve injury (10 and 30 mg/kg p.o.). BCTC did not affect motor performance on the rotarod after administration of doses up to 50 mg/kg p.o. These data suggest a role for VR1 in persistent and chronic pain arising from inflammation or nerve injury.
