PG - 1036-1043 LID - S1734-1140(16)30272-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.pharep.2017.04.011 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: The effects induced by thiamine and riboflavin, isolated or in association with corticosteroids, in models of chronic inflammation are not known. Thus, we evaluated the effect induced by these B vitamins, isolated or in association with dexamethasone, on the mechanical allodynia, paw edema and cytokine production induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) in rats. METHODS: Chronic inflammation was induced by two injections of CFA. Nociceptive threshold, paw volume and body temperature were evaluated for 21days. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) contents were determined in paw tissue. Riboflavin (125, 250 or 500mg/kg) or thiamine (150, 300 or 600mg/kg) were administered per os (po), twice daily. Dexamethasone (0.5mg/kgday, po) was administered every three days. RESULTS: CFA induced long lasting mechanical allodynia and paw edema. Elevation of body temperature was observed for a short period. Riboflavin reduced neither paw edema nor mechanical allodynia. Thiamine did not change paw edema, but partially inhibited mechanical allodynia. Riboflavin (500mg/kg) and thiamine (600mg/kg) exacerbated the anti-inflammatory activity of dexamethasone. Riboflavin, thiamine and dexamethasone reduced TNF-alpha and IL-6 production. The association of dexamethasone with thiamine induced greater inhibition of IL-6 production when compared with that induced by dexamethasone. CONCLUSIONS: Riboflavin and thiamine exacerbate the anti-inflammatory activity of dexamethasone and reduce production of TNF-alpha and IL-6.
