Sanzio Candeletti investigated the pharmacological, neurochemical
and biological aspects of opioid and non opioid peptides, with
particular reference to their involvement in the modulation of
nociceptive transmission at different CNS levels, in the laboratory
animal. He devoted his activity to the characterization of the
pharmacodynamic profile of the classical opiopid neuropeptide
dynorphin and of other neuropeptides such as nociceptin/orphanin FQ
and the protein Bv8; he studied the alterations of neuropeptide
levels and of their gene expression induced by pharmacological
treatments, endocrine manipulations and pathological conditions. To
this end, he utilized and improved microsurgery techniques for the
central administration of peptides and the perfusion of the
subachnoid space in laboratory
animals; employed different experimental models for the study of
nociceptive transmission as well as receptor binding techniques,
radioimmunological and molecular biology methodologies. He is
author of more than 50 publications appeared in international
journals.
He is member of National (SIF, SINS) and international
(International Association for the Study of Pain) scientific
societies.
