Batatasin III is a stilbenoid compound present in a wide variety of Dendrobium species. Although the pharmacological efficacy of batatasin III has been reported in several disease models, its antinociceptive efficacy and central nervous system (CNS) side effects remain unknown. Thus, this study examined the effects of batatasin III on pain-like behaviors in mouse models of formalin- and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory pain. The results revealed a significant antinociceptive effect of batatasin III in both models, as 50 mg/kg batatasin III elicited comparable antinociception as 10 mg/kg indomethacin. Further, the anti-inflammatory effect of batatasin III was assessed in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages and BV-2 microglial cells. The compound significantly reduced the levels of inflammatory mediators (nitric oxide, TNF-α, and IL-6) in LPS-stimulated cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Following efficacy evaluations, the potential CNS side effects of batatasin III were evaluated using the rotarod test and the Laboratory Animal Behavior Observation, Registration, and Analysis System. Batatasin III-treated mice exhibited comparable forced, spontaneous, and general locomotive behaviors to vehicle-treated mice, indicating no potential CNS side effects. Overall, this study demonstrated the preclinical antinociceptive efficacy and CNS safety of batatasin III, suggesting its potential role in the development of new analgesics.
