From: ARA 290, a peptide derived from the tertiary structure of erythropoietin, produces long-term relief of neuropathic pain coupled with suppression of the spinal microglia response

Effect of ARA 290 on mechanical allodynia. A. Effect of spared nerve injury and treatment with vehicle or different doses of ARA 290 on mechanical allodynia. Animals were sham-operated (grey) or received spared nerve injury and 5 doses of vehicle (red), 3 μg/kg ARA 290 (yellow), 10 μg/kg ARA 290 (green), 30 μg/kg ARA 290 (marine blue), or 60 μg/kg ARA 290 (dark blue) administered on days 1, 3, 6, 8 and 10 post-surgery. B. Correlation of ARA 290 treatment dose and the relief of mechanical allodynia, calculated by the difference in area under the curves (AUC) of the mechanical allodynia response on day 1 vs. day 140. The adjusted R2 is 0.56. C. Survival analysis showing the mechanical allodynia-free proportion of animals in time either sham-operated, or receiving spared nerve injury and treated with vehicle or different doses of ARA 290. Log-Rank p < 0.001.
