Guanfacine in analgesic doses of 2.0 and 4.0 mg/kg inhibits the background activity of the spinal cord posterior horn neurons and their responses to nociceptive stimulation of the receptive field in conscious rats. Naloxone (0.1 mg/kg) does not change, whereas prazosin and yohimbine (both on doses of 0.1 mg/kg) remove and partly relieve the depressant effect of guanfacine.
