BACKGROUND: Peripheral nerve injuries negatively impact the quality of life of patients, with no effective treatment available that accelerates sensorimotor recovery and promotes functional improvement and pain relief. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of diacerein (DIA) in an experimental mice model of sciatic nerve crush. METHOD: In this study, male Swiss mice were used, randomly separated into six groups as follows: FO (false-operated + vehicle); FO + DIA (false-operated + diacerein 30 mg/kg); SNI (sciatic nerve injury + vehicle); SNI + DIA in doses of 3, 10 and 30 mg/kg (sciatic nerve injury + treatment with diacerein in doses of 3-30 mg/kg). DIA or vehicle was administered 24 h after the surgical procedure, intragastrically, twice a day. The lesion of the right sciatic nerve was generated by crush. RESULTS: We found that the treatment of animals with DIA accelerated sensorimotor recovery of the animal. In addition, animals in the sciatic nerve injury + vehicle (SNI) group showed hopelessness, anhedonia, and lack of well-being, which were significantly inhibited by DIA treatment. The SNI group showed a reduction in the diameters of nerve fibers, axons, and myelin sheaths, while DIA treatment recovered all these parameters. In addition, the treatment of animals with DIA prevented an increase the levels of interleukin (IL)-1ß and a reduction in the levels of the brain-derived growth factor (BDNF). CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with DIA reduces hypersensitivity and depression like behaviors in animals. Furthermore, DIA promotes functional recovery and regulates IL-1ß and BDNF concentrations.
