The role of spinal 5-HT2A/2C receptors in the regulation of spinal nociceptive transmission was studied. The 5-HT2A/2C agonist (+/-)-1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI) and the antagonist ketanserin tartrate were administered intrathecally immediately before the formalin test. Activation of spinal 5-HT2A/2C receptors increased the pain-like behavioural response in both the early and late phases. The findings support the hypothesis that spinal 5-HT2A/2C receptors augment the spinal afferent nociceptive impulses induced by peripheral inflammation. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science BY.
