The Antinociceptive Property of Brachystegia eurycoma (Fabaceae) Partly Involves Stimulation of Opioid Pathways and Mitigation of the Action of Reactive Radicals

Journal of Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 2022
Introduction: Brachystegia eurycoma (Fabaceae) has been reported to mitigate peripheral and centrally mediated nociception. However, the probable mechanisms involved in this antinociceptive effect have not been investigated. This study evaluated the possible mechanisms involved in the antinociceptive effect of Brachystegia eurycoma (BE).
