In this study, it was found that SePy reversed anxiety behavior, hyperalgesia, and mechanical allodynia induced by acute restraint stress in mice while modulating oxidative stress and neuroendocrine responses.
The contribution of oxidative stress has been described in numerous studies as one of the main pathways involved in the pathophysiology of anxiety and its comorbidities, such as chronic pain. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the anxiolytic-like, antiallodynic, and anti-hyperalgesic effects of 3,5-dimethyl-1-phenyl-4-(phenylselanyl)-1H-pyrazole (SePy) in response to acute restraint stress (ARS) in mice through the modulation of oxidative stress and neuroendocrine responses. Mice were restrained for 2 h followed by SePy (1 or 10 mg/kg, intragastrically) treatment. Behavioral, and biochemical tests were performed after further 30 min. The treatment with SePy reversed (i) the decreased time spent and the number of entries in the open arms of the elevated plus-maze apparatus, (ii) the decreased time spent in the central zone of the open field test and the increased number of grooming, (iii) the increased number of marbles buried, (iv) the increased response frequency of Von Frey Hair stimulation, and (v) the decreased latency time to nociceptive response in the hot plate test stress induced by ARS. Biochemically, SePy reversed ARS-induced increased levels of plasma corticosterone, and reversed the ARS-induced alterations in the levels of reactive species, lipid peroxidation, and superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in the prefrontal cortices and hippocampi of mice. Moreover, a molecular docking approach suggested that SePy may interact with the active site of the glucocorticoid receptor. Altogether, these results indicate that SePy attenuated anxiolytic-like behavior, hyperalgesia, and mechanical allodynia while modulating oxidative stress and neuroendocrine responses in stressed mice.
