Substance P (SP) was administered to awake rats by injection into the lumbar subarachnoid space via an indwelling cannula. Intrathecal (i.t.) injection of substance P produced a dose-related hyperalgesic response in the tail-pressure assay. This hyperalgesic effect peaked at 1 min and returned to control level within 15 min. Tachyphylaxis to the action of substance P was not observed by successive intrathecal injections. The hyperalgesic effect induced by substance P was increased by pretreatment with naloxone and blocked by a large dose of morphine. A synthetic analogue (D-Pro2, D-Trp7,9)-substance P, was not found to block the action of substance P on mechanical responses. These results suggest that substance P apparently produces a direct action on spinal substance P receptors and the antagonistic effect of morphine on the hyperalgesia induced by substance P may be mediated through a postsynaptic mechanism in the spinal cord.
