The cannabinoid receptor agonist, WIN 55, 212-2, attenuates
tumor-evoked hyperalgesia through peripheral mechanisms.
Brain Res. 2008 Jun 18;1215:69-75.



Fig. 1. WIN 55,212-2 dose-dependently attenuates mechanical hyperalgesia in a murine model of cancer pain. Local injection of 2.5, 5, or 10 µg of WIN 55,212-2 into the tumor-bearing hindpaw reduced the mean paw withdrawal frequency evoked by a suprathreshold von Frey monofilament (3.4 mN). * indicates a significant difference from vehicle ( p  < 0.05).
