The invention relates to an application of a halophenol compound 2, 4 ', 5'-trihydroxy-5, 2 '-dibromo
benzophenone in preparation of an
analgesic drug. Experiments prove that the compound has a definite
analgesic effect, can significantly inhibit mouse writhing reaction induced by
acetic acid and II-phase
inflammatory pain induced by formalin, and prolongs the
thermal stimulation tail retraction
incubation period, and the effect is superior to that of
aspirin. Furthermore, in a nitroglycerin-induced
migraine rat model, the compound can effectively improve behavioral symptoms and
brain tissue pathological damage and remarkably regulate key index levels of CGRP, PGE2, ET-1, IL-1beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha, 5-HT and the like in
plasma, which shows that the compound can be applied to preparation of
analgesic drugs, preparation of drugs for treating
migraine, preparation of drugs for treating
migraine and the like. The invention particularly has important application value in medicines for preventing and / or treating migraine.
