Journal Article
Alsalem, M., Millns, P., Altarifi, A., El-Salem, K., Chapman, V., & Kendall, D. A. (in press). Anti-nociceptive and desensitizing effects of olvanil on capsaicin-induced thermal hyperalgesia in the rat. BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology, 17, https://doi.org/10.1186/s40360-016-0074-9

Background: Olvanil (NE 19550) is a non-pungent synthetic analogue of capsaicin, the natural pungent ingredient of capsicum which activates the transient receptor potential vanilloid type-1 (TRPV1) channel and was developed as a potential analgesic c...

Journal Article
Xu, L., Nwosu, L. N., Burston, J., Millns, P., Sagar, D. R., Mapp, P. I., …Chapman, V. (2016). The anti-NGF antibody muMab 911 both prevents and reverses pain behaviour and subchondral osteoclast numbers in a rat model of osteoarthritis pain. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 24(9), 1587-1595. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2016.05.015

Objective: Nerve growth factor (NGF) has a pivotal role in peripheral hyperalgesia and inflammation; anti-NGF antibodies attenuate pain responses in inflammatory pain models, and in people with osteoarthritis (OA) or low back pain. The aim of this st... Read More about The anti-NGF antibody muMab 911 both prevents and reverses pain behaviour and subchondral osteoclast numbers in a rat model of osteoarthritis pain.
