A test for analgesics as an indicator of locomotor activity in writhing mice.

Marked depression of locomotor activity was observed in writhing mice given acetic acid i.p. This depression of the activity was evidenced by a squatting posture in reaction to pain. The hypoactivity was reversed dose-dependently by nonnarcotic analgesics such as acetyl-salicylic acid, aminopyrine and mefenamic acid in smaller dosages than those obtained by the conventional writhing syndrome test, and was also reversed dose-dependently by narcotic analgesics such as morphine, pethidine and codeine. Consequently, this hypoactivity test proved to be useful for analgesics screening.

A recombinant human interleukin-1 beta protects adriamycin-induced toxicity. Adriamycin cardiotoxicity and interleukin-1.

Pretreatment with recombinant human interleukin-1 beta (IL-1) protected normal BALB/c mice from the lethal effect adriamycin (ADM) of related to dose and frequency of administration. Posttreatment with IL-1 failed to protect. Neutrophil and platelet counts after the administration of ADM (16 mg/kg) did not differ between the group with and that without IL-1 pretreatment, whereas lipid peroxide levels in the heart were reduced in the group pretreated with IL-1. It appears that the chemoprotection mechanism of IL-1 lies in the prevention of cardiotoxicity due to ADM-induced free radicals.
