Abstract

For the first time it is demonstrated that clavulanic acid (CA), in chronic dosing, could mitigate neuropathic pain and up-regulate GluTs, including GLT1b isoform, both in vivo and in vitro, also in human cells. The study sets the perspectives for developing new beta-lactam-based analgesics, devoid of antibacterial activity, for treatment of chronic pain.
