Objective To investigate the effect of MCC950 on inflammatory pain induced by formaldehyde in mice. Methods Seventy-two male ICR mice were randomly divided into six groups,including saline control group (NS), formaldehyde model group(F),different doses of MCC950 intervention group (6.25 mg /kg MCC950 + F,12.5 mg /kg MCC950+F,25 mg /kg MCC950+F,50 mg /kg MCC950+F). The spontaneous pain was determined by the cumulative time of licking paw in mice. The expressions of immediate early genes (IEGs),such as c-Fos,Arc,early growth response protein 1(Egr-1),in the spinal cord were determined by Real-ti...
