The possible participation of the nitric oxide (NO)-cyclic GMP-protein kinase G (PKG)-K+ channel pathway on melatonin-induced local antinociception was assessed during the second phase of the formalin test. The local peripheral ipsilateral, but not contralateral, administration of melatonin (150-600 mu g/paw) produced a dose-related antinociception during both phases of the formalin test in rats. Moreover, local pretreatment with N-G-L-nitro-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, NO synthesis inhibitor, 10-100 mu g/paw), 1H-(1,2,4)-oxadiazolo (4,2-a)quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ, guanylyl cyclase inhibitor, 5-50 mu g/paw), (9S, 10R, 12R)-2,3,9,10,11,12-hexahydro-10-methoxy-2,9-dimethyl-1-oxo-9,12-epoxy-1H-diindolo [1,2,3-fg:3 ',2 ',1 ',-kl]pyrrolo [3,4-i][1,6] benzodiazocine-10-carboxylic acid methyl ester (KT-5823, specific PKG inhibitor, 50-500 ng/paw), glibenclamide (ATP-sensitive K+ channel blocker, 5-50 mu g/paw), apamin (small-conductance Ca2+- activated K+ channel blocker, 0.1-1 mu g/paw) or charybdotoxin (large- and intermediate-conductance Ca2+- activated K+ channel blocker, 0.03-0.3 mu g/paw), but not N-G-D-nitro-arginine methyl ester (D-NAME, inactive isomer Of L-NAME, 100 mu g/paw) or vehicle, significantly prevented melatonin (300 mu g/paw)-induced antinociception. Data suggest that melatonin-induced local peripheral antinociception during the second phase of the test could be due to activation of the NO-cyclic GMP-PKG-ATP-sensitive and Ca2+-activated K+ channels pathway.
