Variable analysis
- Systemic delivery of vehicle or the COMT inhibitor OR486
- COMT-dependent functional pain in mice
- Implantation of Alzet osmotic minipumps (model 1002, Durect Corporation, Cupertino, CA, USA) subcutaneously in the intrascapular region
- Dose of OR486 sufficient to cross the blood-brain barrier
- Preparation of OR486 solution in a 5:2:3 ratio mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide, ethanol, and 0.9% sterile saline
- Incubation of the pump containing the OR486 solution overnight at 37°C in a 15mL conical tube containing sterile saline
- Positive control: Vehicle (not explicitly mentioned)

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.
