OBJECTIVE: Even after 100 years of discovery, the exact mechanisms for the
analgesic action of paracetamol are under scanner. It was recently proposed that
paracetamol may act through different mechanisms, especially altering the
serotoninergic system. The main objective of this preclinical study was to verify
the role of drugs modulating dopaminergic system (l-dopa, bromocriptine,
olanzapine) on the analgesic effect of paracetamol. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty
adult male albino mice were divided into five groups: distilled water (0.5 ml/25
g), paracetamol (200 mg/kg), levodopa (10 mg/kg) + paracetamol, bromocriptine (5
mg/kg) + paracetamol (200 mg/kg), and olanzapine (2 mg/kg) + paracetamol (200
mg/kg). All drugs were administered orally for 14 days. Eddy's hot plate and tail
immersion tests were used to determine analgesic activity. Tests were conducted 1
h after the drug administration on the 14(th) day. After that, animals were
sacrificed and brains were dissected out, to measure the levels of dopamine.
Statistical comparisons among the groups were performed by one-way analysis of
variance followed by Tukey-Kramer test. RESULTS: Coadministration of l-dopa and
bromocriptine with paracetamol increased the antinociceptive activity of
paracetamol significantly, whereas coadministration of olanzapine with
paracetamol decreased the analgesic activity of paracetamol in the Eddy's hot
plate and tail immersion tests considerably. There was a significant increase (P
< 0.001) in the levels of dopamine in the brains of mice, which received
levodopa, bromocriptine, and paracetamol. However, it was opposite in the brains
of animals which received olanzapine. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that
analgesic action of paracetamol is influenced by dopaminergic system.
