Efficacy of isothiocyanate-based compounds on different forms of persistent pain.
Current pharmacotherapy for persistent pain related to neuropathy or articular diseases is unsatisfactory, due to the large number of unresponsive patients and side effects. Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are a class of natural or synthetic compounds characterized by the general formula R-NCS. ITCs show antihyperalgesic effects in models of central and peripheral nervous tissue injury and anti-inflammatory properties. The pharmacodynamics are strictly related to the release of the gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from their moiety. In particular, phenyl ITC (PITC) and 3-carboxyphenyl ITC (3C-PITC) exhibit interesting slow H2S-release properties suitable for treating painful pathology. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the efficacy of PITC and 3C-PITC against mechanical hyperalgesia and spontaneous pain induced by nerve injury and osteoarthritis
