Aim and Background: The Trametes versicolor (TV) with the several biological activities including immunomodulation, anti-inflammation, anti-tumor, hypoglycemic, anti-oxidation, anti-bacterial and strengthen osteoporosis had been reported in previous studies. Hyperalgesia, which includes both acute and inflammatory processes, is characterized by an increased sensitivity to pain. Therefore, the anti-inflammation effect of TV may relieve the hyperalgesia. In an attempt to broaden the therapeutic application of TV, the formalin-induced hyperalgesia of rat will be a test animal model to explore the possible mechanisms of analgesia effect. According to previous explorations, the extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) had a strong relative to the nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines such as TNF-alpha, interleukins production. Besides, the bioactivities of mushrooms phytosteroids, terpenoids and phenolic compounds also play important roles in the analgesic effects. Taken together, the hypothesis of mechanisms in analgesic effect by treated TV may be considered that impact the NO and cytokines production by the EPS or analgesic bioactivity components via anti-inflammation to cause an analgesic effect.
