ADR-851 HCl is an HT3 receptor antagonist. It works against mechanical, acute thermal, and formalin-induced inflammatory pain.

Lanepitant 2HCl is a non-peptide neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist with analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity.Lanepitant 2HCl inhibits the binding of Substance P to the neurokinin-1 receptor, inhibits neurogenic inflammation and pain transmission, and can be used in the study of painful neuropathic disorders, such as migraines.

Droxicam (Droxicamum) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory compound and can be used for research on the relief of inflammation and pain in musculoskeletal disorders.

Floctafenine (R-4318) is an orally available nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory compound that is a COX-I and COX-2 inhibitor and interferes with the antiplatelet effects of aspirin.Floctafenine has analgesic activity and is used in the study of pain.

GAT107 is a novel and potent α7 nicotinic cholinergic receptor modifier agonist and modulator with anti-inflammatory activity that reverses injury perception in a mouse model of neuropathic pain.

MK-4409 is a novel and selective inhibitor of oxazole fatty acid amide hydrolase FAAH.MK-4409 can be used to study inflammatory and neuropathic pain.

ReN-1869 is a novel selective histamine H(1) receptor antagonist with anti-neurogenic pain and anti-inflammatory activity for the study of neurological diseases.

Celecoxib (SC 58635) is a Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug. The mechanism of action of celecoxib is as a Cyclooxygenase Inhibitor.

S-(+)-Ketoprofen ((S)-(+)-Ketoprofen) works by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclo-oxygenase. It belongs to a class of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Cyclo-oxygenase is involved in the production of chemicals in the body called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced in response to injury or certain diseases and would otherwise go on to cause swelling, inflammation and pain. By blocking cyclo-oxygenase, S-(+)-Ketoprofen prevents the production of prostaglandins and therefore reduces inflammation and pain. Along with Peripheral analgesic action it possesses central analgesic action.S-(+)-Ketoprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is manufactured by Menarini, under the tradename Keral. It is available in the UK, as S-(+)-Ketoprofen trometamol, as a prescription-only drug and in Latin America as Miracox, produced by Stein in Costa Rica. In Italy it is available as an over the counter-drug under the tradename Enantyum. In Lithuania it is available as over the counter-drug uder tradename Dolmen.

Etodolac (AY-24236) inhibits the activity of cyclooxygenase I and II, thereby preventing the formation of prostaglandin which is involved in the induction of pain, fever, and inflammation. Etodolac is a pyranocarboxylic acid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with antipyretic and analgesic activities. It also inhibits platelet aggregation by blocking platelet cyclooxygenase and the subsequent formation of thromboxane A2.

Capsaicin is an active natural component found in chili peppers and acts as a TRPV1 agonist (EC50 = 0.29 μM). It possesses multiple activities, including pain relief, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects, as well as some neurotoxicity. Capsaicin can be used to establish itch models.

Parecoxib (SC 69124) is an effective and selective COX-2 inhibitor.

Citral A monoterpene, obtained from the essential oil of lemongrass, which has anti-pain and anti-inflammatory properties.

1. Methyl eugenol (4-allylveratrole) is a natural constituent of the essential oils of a number of plants widely used in foodstuffs as flavouring agents, in view of the carcinogenic potential of ME, the need to check its presence in food products with effective analytical methods. 2. Methyleugenol has insecticidal properties. 3. Methyleugenol can inhibit the production of nitric oxide and decreased the protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, it down-regulates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the ischemic brain as well as in immunostimulated mixed glial cells; indicates that methyleugenol could be useful for the treatment of ischemia/inflammation-related diseases. 4. Methyleugenol has cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. 5. Intravenous (i.v.) treatment with methyleugenol (ME) in either anesthetized or conscious rats elicits hypotension, an effect that seems related to an active vascular relaxation rather than withdrawal of sympathetic tone. 6. Methyleugenol has antinociceptive effect on the second phase of formalin-induced pain, may be due to the inhibition of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor-mediated hyperalgesia via GABA(A) receptors. 7. Methyleugenol has elaxant and antispasmodic actions on guinea-pig isolated ileum.

Clonixin (Clonixic acid) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic properties. This compound has been reported to block prostaglandin synthesis, and to block inward calcium currents.
