Effect of Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb Extract on the Antinociception and Mechanisms in Mouse.

Researchers examined the pain-relieving effects of Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb extract in mice. They found that oral administration of the extract (200 mg/kg) reduced pain as measured by various tests. The extract also reduced the nociceptive response to a substance that causes pain when injected into the spinal cord. The antinociceptive effect was blocked by a drug that blocks alpha-2 adrenergic receptors, but not by drugs that block opioid or serotonergic receptors. These findings suggest that Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb extract has pain-relieving properties, and that it may work by affecting alpha-2 adrenergic receptors.
