Study Notes

Analgesic Effect of Diclofenac Sodium

  • Experimental Purposes:
    • Observe writhing induced by acetic acid.
    • Observe analgesic effect of Diclofenac Sodium in mice.

Experimental Principle

  • Pain Models: Physical or chemical stimulation can induce pain.
  • Acetic Acid-Induced Writhing: Intraperitoneal injection of acetic acid induces abdominal pain (writhing) in mice, characterized by abdomen constriction, trunk twisting, and hind limb extension.
  • NSAIDs and Analgesia: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like Diclofenac Sodium, reduce pain and writhing by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins.

Experimental Material

  • Animals: 4 mice weighing 20-25g.
  • Drugs: Saline, 0.6% acetic acid, and Diclofenac Sodium solution.

Experimental Procedure

  • Grouping: Divide the mice into two groups (control and test group), with 2 mice per group.
  • Weighing and Marking: Weigh mice and mark them.
  • Drug Injection: Administer saline to the control group and Diclofenac Sodium to the test group, dose adjusted according to mouse weight.
  • Acetic Acid Injection: 20 minutes after the drug injection, administer 0.5ml of 0.6% acetic acid per mouse intraperitoneally.
  • Observation and Recording: Observe and record the number of writhing mice in each group within 15 minutes after acetic acid injection.

Results and Analysis

  • Table 1: Data summarizing the number of writhing mice in the control and test groups will reveal the analgesic effect of Diclofenac Sodium. Percentage of analgesic effect is calculated as (b-B)/A x 100%, where b & B are non-writhing mice from the test and control groups respectively, and A is number of writhing mice in control group.

Application Notice

  • Acetic Acid Preparation: Acetic acid solution must be freshly prepared before each use and stored covered to prevent evaporation.
  • Mice Selection: Choose mice with appropriate weight (20-24g) for accurate observation of writhing.
  • Temperature Control: Maintain a constant laboratory temperature (18-22°C) to minimize environmental influence on the mice's response.
