Extra 5 animals will be taken, considering animal screening
based on the basal latency time
3.0 METHOD:
·
Animals shall be procured from
the CPCSEA authorized vendor.
·
Animals shall be quarantined
for 1 week as per the in house SOP.
·
Healthy animals will be
selected, randomized based on body weight and divided into 6 different groups
consisting of 8 animals each.
·
Group G1 animal will be
treated as normal control and treated with normal saline or Na- CMC.
·
Animals of group G2 will be
treated with tramadol at the dose of 40 mg/kg, i.p.
·
Group G3, G4, G5 and G6
animals will be treated with test compounds at different dose levels.
·
Pain stimulus will be produced
by placing the animals on hot-plate maintained at the temperature of 55 ±
0.5°C.
·
Paw licking or jumping off the
plate will be considered as response to pain stimulus.
·
Reaction time for each group
will be recorded at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min during the observation
period.
·
To avoid any possible
accidental paw damage, a cut-off point of 15 sec will be considered.
·
Reaction time of the test and
standard will be compared with the control.
4.0 END POINT PARAMETER(S):
·
Reaction Time
· % Analgesic activity = Mean reaction
time of control – Mean reaction time of test/Mean reaction time of control)*100
