Background: Paclitaxel (PCX) is the first-line choice for the treatment of several types of cancer, including breast, ovarian, and lung cancers. However, patients who receive even a single dose with PCX commonly develop mechanical and cold allodynia, a symptom known as PCX-associated acute pain syndrome (P-APS). Here, we assessed possible involvement of kinin-kallikrein and renin-angiotensin systems in P-APS in mice. Methods: Male mice C57Bl/6 wild type (WT) and knockouts for bradykinin receptors, B1 (B1 −/−) and B2 (B2 −/−), were used. Mechanical and cold allodynia were evaluated by using von Frey filaments and acetone test, respectively. P-APS was induced by administration of PCX 4 mg/kg, i.v.. ACE inhibitors (captopril and enalapril), antagonists for angiotensin II type 1 (losartan) and type 2 ([AT2R];
