Chronic severe pain is a significant global health problem [1]. In the US alone, one third of Americans suffer some form of chronic pain, and in these individuals over 30% of reported pain is resistant to analgesic therapy [1]. The economic impact of pain is equally large at approximately $100 billion annually [1]. While selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors are effective for several forms of chronic pain, their occasional side-effects including increased risks of heart attack and stroke [2] prompted the precipitous withdrawal of some of them (ie Vioxx) from the market in 2004.Morphine sulfate and other opiate/narcotic analgesics are the most effective treatments for acute and chronic severe pain. However, their clinical utility is often hampered by the development of analgesic tolerance as well as by de novo painful hypersensitivity to innocuous and noxious stimuli with such phenomena observed in both animal and human studies [3; 4; 5]. For morphine in particular, development of tolerance necessitates escalating doses to achieve equivalent pain relief [6], even as the onset of morphine-induced hypersensitivity subverts the therapeutic impact of such dose increases [3; 4; 5]. This complex pathophysiological cycle contributes significantly to decreased quality of life in the growing population of subjects with chronic pain due to oversedation, reduced physical activity, respiratory depression, constipation, potential for addiction, and other side-effects [6]. Accordingly, there is growing interest in new approaches that would maintain opiate efficacy during repetitive dosing without engendering tolerance or unacceptable side-effects. Considerable evidence implicates nitroxidative stress in the development of pain of several etiologies and importantly in opiate antinociceptive tolerance, caused by the presence of superoxide, O2·-, nitric oxide,· NO and more recently peroxynitrite (ONOO-or its protonated counterpart ONOOH) that is the product of their interaction (Figure 1). In addition to the 3 routes of reducing ONOO-toxicity depicted in Figure 1, there is a fourth: scavenging of the radicals from ONOOH (urate, methionine and tyrosine peptides are examples in this category)[7].
