Rats were pretreated with [alpha],[beta]-amyrin (10, 30, and l00mg/kg, i.p.), morphine (5 mg/kg, s.c.) or vehicle (3% Tween 80), before formalin (20 [micro]l, 1.5%) or capsaicin (20 [micro]l, 1.5 [micro]g) injection into the right vibrissa. In vehicle-treated controls, formalin induced a biphasic nociceptive face-rubbing behavioral response with an early first phase (0-5 min) and a late second phase (10-20 min) appearance, whereas capsaicin produced an immediate face-rubbing (grooming) behavior that was maximal at 10-20 min.
