Abstract: AIM: To investigate the analgesic effect mechanism of anthocyanins from Ligustrum vicaryi. METHODS: Experimental animals were divided into 5 groups (n=8): normal saline control group (NS);aspirin control group (Asp);high-concentration anthocyanins group (HA);medium-concentration anthocyanins group (MA);low-concentration anthocyanins group (LA). We observed the analgesia effect of different concentration anthocyanins by hot-plate test and acetic acid writhing test. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the contents of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2(PGE2) in blood serum were determined to analysis the analgesia mechanism. RESULTS: The pain threshold of mice was enhanced and the times of twist body was decreased by medium-concentration and high-concentration anthocyanins. The activity of SOD was increased and the contents of NO and PGE2 were reduced in blood serum. CONCLUSION: Anthocyanins of Ligustrum vicaryi has definite analgesic effect, which was related to increasing the activity of SOD and decreasing the contents of NO and PGE2.

Key words: anthocyanins, analgesic, SOD, NO, PGE2
