Activation of Peripheral κ Opioid Receptors Inhibits Capsaicin-Induced Thermal Nociception in Rhesus Monkeys

8-Methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide (capsaicin) was locally applied in the tail of rhesus monkeys to evoke a nociceptive response, thermal allodynia, which was manifested as reduced tail-withdrawal latencies in normally innocuous 46°C water. Coadministration of three κ opioid ligands, U50,488 (3.2–100...
