Cavidine ((+)-Cavidine) is an analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent. Cavidine can be isolated from Corydalis ternata f. yanhusuo (Y.H.Chou & Chun C.Hsu) Y.C.Zhu. Cavidine reduces the expression of inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α, and inhibits calcium ion influx. Cavidine inhibits the phosphorylation of p38 and ERK1/2. Cavidine increases mechanical and thermal pain thresholds in chronic pain models. Cavidine can be used for the research of chronic pain.

In Vitro

Cavidine (10 μg/mL) inhibits α,β-ME-ATP-induced calcium ion influx in P2X3-overexpressing U373 cells[1].
Cavidine (2.5-10 μg/mL; 24 h) inhibits LPS-induced activation of BV-2 microglial cells[1].
Cavidine (5-10 μg/mL) inhibits α,β-ME-ATP-induced phosphorylation of p38 and ERK1/2 in primary DRG neurons[1].

In Vivo

Cavidine (2.5-10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 7 days) exerts dose-dependent analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects in CFA-induced chronic inflammatory pain mice by downregulating P2X3 receptors, inhibiting microglial activation, suppressing inflammatory factor production, and reducing MAPK pathway activation[1].
Cavidine (2.5-10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily) exerts dose-dependent analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects in SNI-induced neuropathic pain mice by downregulating P2X3 receptors, inhibiting microglial activation, suppressing inflammatory factor production, and reducing MAPK pathway activation[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
