Abstract

Anorexia, nausea/emesis and peripheral sensorial neuropathy are frequent adverse effects associated with chemotherapy. Cannabinoids have been proposed to alleviate these effects, but their preventive properties in long-term experimental models have not been tested. This study was conducted to determine whether or not a cannabinoid agonist (WIN-55,212-2) can prevent anorexia, pica (an indirect marker of nausea in non-vomiting species, consisting of the ingestion of non-nutritive substances such as kaolin) and mechanical allodynia (a marker of peripheral neuropathy) induced by the antineoplastic drug cisplatin chronically administered. Isolated rats with free access to food and kaolin received either saline, cannabinoid vehicle, WIN-55,212-2 (1-2 mg kg(-1)), cisplatin (1-2 mg kg(-1)), or both drugs once per week for five consecutive weeks. Modifications in temperature, body weight gain, food and kaolin intake, and the threshold for mechanical allodynia were recorded. Additionally, the acute psychoactive effects of the cannabinoid (hypomotility, hypothermia, analgesia and catalepsia) were assayed by means of the cannabinoid tetrad. WIN 55,212-2 prevented the development of mechanical allodynia but not anorexia, pica and reduction in weight gain induced by chronic cisplatin. The effect of WIN 55,212-2 was evident even at a dose lacking activity in the cannabinoid tetrad. The preventive effect on cisplatin-induced mechanical allodynia exerted by the cannabinoid could be due to a neuroprotective role, as has been suggested for other conditions. The present results support the interest in the evaluation of cannabinoids for treatment of patients suffering or likely to suffer neuropathic pain.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
