Resumo
Background: Phthalimide analogs have been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory, analgesic and immunomodulatory activities in different preclinical assays. This study aimed to investigate the potential role of 2-phthalimidethanol (PTD-OH) and 2-phthalimidethyl nitrate (PTD-NO) in a murine model of antigen-induced articular inflammation. Methods: Articular inflammation was induced by intra-articular injection of methylated bovine serum albumin (mBSA) in the knee joint of immunized male C57BL/6J mice. The animals were pre-treated with PTD-OH or PTD-NO (500 mg/kg, per os, – 1 h). Nociceptive threshold was measured using an electronic von Frey apparatus. The total number of leukocytes in the synovial cavity was determined. Concentrations of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and CXCL-1 and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity were determined in periarticular tissue. Results: Both PTD-OH and PTD-NO inhibited at similar extent the mechanical allodynia, neutrophil recruitment to the synovial cavity and periarticular tissue and TNF-α and CXCL-1 production induced by intra-articular challenge with mBSA in immunized mice. Conclusions: PTD-OH and PTD-NO exhibit a marked activity in a murine model of antigen-induced articular inflammation in immunized animals. These results reinforce the interest in the investigation of phthalimide analogs devoid of the glutarimide ring as candidates to analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs.
