Cannabinoid CB1 receptors have been implicated in the antinociceptive effect of paracetamol. In the current study, we examined whether blockade of CB1 receptors prevent the analgesic activity of dipyrone, in a similar way to paracetamol. Hot-plate and tail-flick tests were used to assess the antinociceptive activity in mice. Dipyrone and WIN 55,212-2, a cannabinoid agonist, exerted significant antinociceptive effects in both hot-plate and tail flick tests. The CB1 receptor antagonist, AM-251 (3 mg/kg), at a dose which had no effect when used alone, did not alter the antinociceptive effect of dipyrone, whereas completely prevented the antinociceptive activity of WIN 55,212-2 in both thermal antinociceptive tests. Our findings suggest that, unlike paracetamol, cannabinoid CB1 receptors do not participate in the antinociceptive action of dipyrone when acute pain tests used.
