Possible Nonopioid-Mediated Analgesia Produced by Methotrimeprazine in Rats

BACKGROUND: Several reports in the 1960s demonstrated that methotrimeprazine (MTMZ), a phenothiazine derivative, is effective for treating acute and chronic pain. Although MTMZ has received little attention in recent decades, the fact that it derives from a class of drugs usually associated with cog...
