Abstract

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The antinociceptive activity was assessed using the capsaicin, glutamate, hot plate and cold allodynia tests. The antipuritic effects were also verified based on histamine-induced scratching behavior.

RESULTS: EOVA reduced the paw licking induced by capsaicin, but not that induced by glutamate. The essential oil increased the latency time in the hot plate, attenuated the cold allodynia induced by acetone and inhibited histamine-induced scratching behavior.

CONCLUSION: The experimental data demonstrated that EOVA showed central and peripheral antinociceptive activity and antipruritic effect.

Keywords: Antinociceptive; Antipruritic; Essential oil; Vanillosmopsisarborea
