Abstract:
Epilepsy frequently coexists with neuropathic pain. Our approach is based on the search for active compounds with multitarget profiles beneficial in terms of potential side effects and on the implementation of screening for potential multidirectional central activity . Methods Compounds were synthesized by means of chemical synthesis. After antiseizure and neurotoxicity screening in vivo, KM-408 and its enantiomers were chosen for analgesic activity evaluations. Further safety studies included acute toxicity in mice, the effect on normal electrocardiogram and on blood pressure in rats, whole body plethysmography in rats, and in vitro and biochemical assays. Pharmacokinetics has been studied in rats after iv and po administration. Metabolism has been studied in vivo in rat serum and urine. Radioligand binding studies were performed as part of the mechanism of action investigation. Results Selected results for KM-408 : K i sigma = 7.2*10 –8 ; K i 5-HT 1A = 8.0*10 –7 ; ED 50 MES (mice, ip ) = 13.3 mg/kg; formalin test (I phase, mice, ip )—active at 30 mg/kg; SNL (rats, ip )—active at 6 mg/kg; STZ-induced pain (mice, ip )—active at 1 mg/kg (von Frey) and 10 mg/kg (hot plate); hot plate test (mice, ip )—active at 30 mg/kg; ED 50 capsaicin test (mice, ip ) = 18.99 mg/kg; tail immersion test (mice)—active at 0.5%; corneal anesthesia (guinea pigs)—active at 0.125%; infiltration anesthesia (guinea pigs)—active at 0.125%. Conclusions Within the presented study a novel compound, R,S -2-((2-(2-chloro-6-methylphenoxy)ethyl)amino)butan-1-ol hydrochloride ( KM-408 ) with dual antiseizure and analgesic activity has been developed for potential use in neuropathic pain treatment.
