Catalpol ameliorates CFA-induced inflammatory pain by targeting spinal cord and peripheral inflammation.

ABSTRACT: Chronic, inflammatory pain is an international health concern that severely diminishes individuals' quality of life. Catalpol is an iridoid glycoside derived from the roots of Rehmannia glutinosa that possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties for the treating multiple kinds of disorders. Nevertheless, catalpol's impacts on inflammatory pain and its potential methods of action are still unclear. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the mechanism of catalpol to reduce the inflammatory pain behaviors in a rat model with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). Catwalk, Von-Frey, and open field testing were performed for behavioral assessment. Western blot analysis and real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) were employed to identify variations in molecular exp
