AbstractBACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Chronic pain is often a symptom of knee osteoarthritis (OA) for which current analgesics are either inadequate, or are associated with serious side effects. The endocannabinoid system may offer alternative targets for pain-relief. We evaluated the effects of a potent and selective MAG lipase inhibitor (MJN110) on OA pain behaviour, spinal mechanisms of action and joint histopathology in the rat.
