Prior to drug injections, animals were lightly anesthetized with ice-cold saline in an ice-lined dissecting dish and injected with 100 μL of either 100 μM anandamide, 100 μM of anandamide +25 μM of SB366791, 75 μM 2-AG, or 75 μM 2-AG +25 μM SB366791. Pilot studies examining the effects of SB366791 injections found that concentrations greater than 25 μM reduced responses to nociceptive stimuli. For vehicle control experiments, 100 μL of 0.01% DMSO were injected. As previously reported36 (link), injections were made just anterior of the posterior sucker, a region where the dorsal and ventral sinuses that are part of the leech vascular system converge19 . The leech CNS is contained within the ventral sinus so this method of injection is likely to be effective in delivering drugs to the CNS.
Sb366791
SB366791 is a selective antagonist of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) ion channel. It is used in research applications as a tool compound to investigate the role of TRPV4 in various biological processes.

Intrathecal Catheter Implantation and Drug Administration in Rats
In a subset of studies, in order to examine the effects of PAR2 on expression of TRPV1 and TRPA1 and engagement of substance P and CGRP FSLLRY-NH2 (10 μg), SB366791 (100 μM) and HC030031 (10 μg) were intrathecally given using an infusion pump in control rats and rats 4 weeks following SCI, respectively. The pump was set to constantly deliver vehicle or the drugs over a period of 3 h. At the end of infusion, the superficial dorsal horn tissues were obtained under an anatomical microscope for Western Blot and ELISA experiments.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
