In this study, it was found that the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor MTDZ has antinociceptive effects and can reduce the comorbidities associated with oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy. MTDZ reversed the hypersensitivity, cognitive impairment, and anxious-like behavior caused by oxaliplatin exposure. The results suggest that MTDZ is a promising molecule for the treatment of oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity.
In the present study it was hypothesized that 5-((4-methoxyphenyl)thio)benzo[c][1,2,5] thiodiazole (MTDZ), a new acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, exerts antinociceptive action and reduces the oxaliplatin (OXA)-induced peripheral neuropathy and its comorbidities (anxiety and cognitive deficits). Indeed, the acute antinociceptive activity of MTDZ (1 and 10 mg/kg; per oral route) was observed for the first time in male Swiss mice in formalin and hot plate tests and on mechanical withdrawal threshold induced by Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA). To evaluate the MTDZ effect on OXA-induced peripheral neuropathy and its comorbidities, male and female Swiss mice received OXA (10 mg/kg) or vehicle intraperitoneally, on days 0 and 2 of the experimental protocol. Oral administration of MTDZ (1 mg/kg) or vehicle was performed on days 2-14. OXA caused cognitive impairment, anxious-like behaviour, mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity in animals, with females more susceptible to thermal sensitivity. MTDZ reversed the hypersensitivity, cognitive impairment and anxious-like behaviour induced by OXA. Here, the negative correlation between the paw withdrawal threshold caused by OXA and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was demonstrated in the cortex, hippocampus, and spinal cord. OXA inhibited the activity of total ATPase, Na+ K+ - ATPase, Ca2+ - ATPase and altered Mg2+ - ATPase in the cortex, hippocampus, and spinal cord. OXA exposure increased reactive species (RS) levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the cortex, hippocampus, and spinal cord. MTDZ modulated ion pumps and reduced the oxidative stress induced by OXA. In conclusion, MTDZ is an antinociceptive molecule promising to treat OXAinduced neurotoxicity since it reduced nociceptive and anxious-like behaviours, and cognitive deficit in male and female mice.
