Background: The use of aroma oils dates back to at least 3000 B.C., where it was applied to mummify corpses and treat the wounds of soldiers. Since the 1920s, the term “aromatherapy” has been used for fragrance therapy with essential oils. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the essential oil of Eucalyptus (EOE) affects pain pathways in various pain conditions and motor coordination. Methods: Mice were subjected to inhalation or intraperitoneal injection of EOE, and its analgesic effects were assessed by conducting formalin, thermal plantar, and acetic acid tests; the effects of EOE on motor coord-ination were evaluated using a rotarod test. To determine the analgesic mechanism, 5’-guanidinonaltrindole (-opioid antagonist, 0.3 mg/kg), naltrindole (-opioid antagonist, 5 mg/kg), glibenclamide (-opioid antagonist, 2 mg/kg), and naloxone (-opioid antagonist, 4, 8, 12 mg/kg) were injected intraperitoneally. Results: EOE showed an analgesic effect against visceral pain caused by acetic acid (EOE, 45 mg/kg); however, no analgesic effect was observed against thermal nociceptive pain. Moreover, it was demonstrated that EOE did not have an effect on motor coordination. In addition, an anti-inflammatory effect was observed during the formalin test.Conclusions: EOE, which is associated with the -opioid pain pathway, showed potential effects against somatic, inflammatory, and visceral pain and could be a potential therapeutic agent for pain.

The action of opioid on the hyperpolarization-activated cation current $(I_h)$ in substantia gelatinosa neurons were investigated by using whole-cell voltage-clamp recording in rat spinal brain slices. Hyperpolarizing voltage steps revealed slowly activating currents in a subgroup of neurons. The half-maximal activation and the reversal potential of the current were compatible to neuronal $I_h.$ DAMGO $(1\;{\mu}M),$ a selective- opioid agonist, reduced the amplitude of $I_h$ reversibly. This reduction was dose-dependent and was blocked by CTOP $(2\;{\mu}M),$ a selective ${\mu}-opioid$ antagonist. DAMGO shifted the voltage dependence of activation to more hyperpolarized potential. Cesium (1 mM) or ZD 7288 $(100\;{\mu}M)$ blocked $I_h$ and the currents inhibited by cesium, ZD 7288 and DAMGO shared a similar time and voltage dependence. These results suggest that activation of ${\mu}-opioid$ receptor by DAMGO can inhibit $I_h$ in a subgroup of rat substantia gelatinosa neurons.

Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is one of the most commonly used medications in global market, with a risk of intoxication in certain patients. However, monitoring blood drug concentration often requires frequent hospital visits; hence there is an unmet need to increase patientcentricity by conducting blood sampling at home. Volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) is a device that allows collection of homogenous and accurate volume of blood without venipuncture, and can be utilized by patients who are not in hospital settings;but because ASA is prone to hydrolysis and stabilizing reagents cannot be added to VAMS samples, a way to improve sample stability must be developed. The objective of this study was to identify the cause of instability with ASA samples collected by VAMS, and to evaluate ways to improve sample stability. A liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used for analysis of ASA concentration in whole blood. Samples collected with VAMS were kept under different drying conditions (desiccator, pressurized, nitrogen gas and household vacuum sealer) and were compared to the control samples collected by conventional venous sampling. The recovery of ASA was about 31% of the control when VAMS sample was dried at room temperature, whereas VAMS samples under humidity controlled conditions showed more than 85% of recovery. Our results suggest that adequate level of humidity control was critical to ensure sample stability of ASA, and this humidity control could also be achieved at home using household vacuum sealer, thus enabling patient-centric clinical trials to be conducted.
