We examined the role of the spinal muscarinic receptor subtype in the anti-nociceptive effect of intrathecal (i.t.) alpha2 adrenoceptor agonist clonidine in mice. I.t. injection of the muscarinic receptor antagonist atropine completely inhibited i.t. clonidine-induced increase in the mechanical threshold, but did not affect the increase in tail-flick latency induced by i.t. clonidine. The clonidine-induced increase in mechanical threshold was inhibited by i.t. injection of the M1 receptor antagonist pirenzepine in a dose-dependent manner, and by the M3 receptor antagonist 4-DAMP, but not by the M2 receptor antagonist methoctramine. The potency of pirenzepine was greater than that of 4-DAMP. These results suggest that the clonidine-induced increase in mechanical threshold is mediated via the activation of M1 receptors in the spinal cord.
