In addition, some studies have reported that perioperatively administered beta-blockers also have analgesic effects. In this study, to investigate the antinociceptive effects and the analgesic profile of landiolol, we examined the effects of intrathecal landiolol administration on nociceptive pain behavior and c-fos mRNA expression (a neural marker of pain) in the spinal cord using a rat formalin model. We found that pain-related behavior was inhibited by intrathecal landiolol administration. Moreover, the increase in c-fos mRNA expression on the formalin-injected side was less pronounced in rats administered landiolol than in saline administered controls. Thus, intrathecal administration of landiolol exhibited antinociceptive effects. Further investigation of the antinociceptive mechanism of landiolol is required. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MizobuchiSatoshi en-aut-sei=Mizobuchi en-aut-mei=Satoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsuokaYoshikazu en-aut-sei=Matsuoka en-aut-mei=Yoshikazu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=ObataNorihiko en-aut-sei=Obata en-aut-mei=Norihiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KakuRyuji en-aut-sei=Kaku en-aut-mei=Ryuji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=ItanoYoshitaro en-aut-sei=Itano en-aut-mei=Yoshitaro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=TomotsukaNaoto en-aut-sei=Tomotsuka en-aut-mei=Naoto kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaniguchiArata en-aut-sei=Taniguchi en-aut-mei=Arata kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishieHiroyuki en-aut-sei=Nishie en-aut-mei=Hiroyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=KanzakiHirotaka en-aut-sei=Kanzaki en-aut-mei=Hirotaka kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=OuchidaMamoru en-aut-sei=Ouchida en-aut-mei=Mamoru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=MoritaKiyoshi en-aut-sei=Morita en-aut-mei=Kiyoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Anesthesiology and Resuscitology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Anesthesiology and Resuscitology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Anesthesiology and Resuscitology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Anesthesiology and Resuscitology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Anesthesiology and Resuscitology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Anesthesiology and Resuscitology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Anesthesiology and Resuscitology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Anesthesiology and Resuscitology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Biomedical Sciences, Cedars-sinai Medical Center affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Molecular Genetics, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine affil-num=11 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Anesthesiology and Resuscitology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine en-keyword=beta-blocker kn-keyword=beta-blocker en-keyword=landiolol kn-keyword=landiolol en-keyword=formalin kn-keyword=formalin en-keyword=pain behavior kn-keyword=pain behavior en-keyword=c-fos kn-keyword=c-fos END
