| Abstract | Development of peripheral neuropathy, which can present as painful neuropathy or loss of sensation, sometimes limit the use of paclitaxel in the treatment of solid tumors such as breast cancer. Previous studies reported development of thermal hyperalgesia in mice treated with paclitaxel. In this study an automated flinch detection system for the formalin test (20 μl of 5% formalin injected subcutaneously into the paw dorsum) was used to evaluate chemical nociception in BALB/c mice treated with paclitaxel 2 mg/kg alone or coadministered with minocycline 50 mg/kg, intraperitoneally for 5 consecutive days. Reaction latency to thermal stimuli (hot-plate) was also measured. Injection of formalin resulted in biphasic paw flinches; phase 1 (1–9 minutes) and phase 2 (10–40 minutes). Treatment with paclitaxel reduced cumulative flinches in both phases 1 and 2 by 28% and 43%, respectively at day 7. However, treatment with paclitaxel also induced thermal hyperalgesia. Co-administration of paclitaxel with minocycline prevented development of both paclitaxel-induced hyposensitivity to chemical nociception and thermal hyperalgesia. In conclusion, the results indicate paclitaxel induces chemical hyposensitivity and thermal hyperalgesia in mice. Minocycline protected against paclitaxel-induced chemical hyposensitivity and thermal hyperalgesia, thus, providing further support of the usefulness of the drug in prevention of chemotherapy-induced neuropathy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
