Future potential and status of selective sodium channel blockers for the treatment of pain. 选择性钠通道阻滞剂治疗疼痛的未来潜力和现状。

Nociceptive neurons express several NaV1 channel subtypes that may contribute to the hyperexcitability characteristic of chronic pain states. The non-subtype selective, state-dependent NaV1 channel blockers lidocaine and carbamazepine are efficacious in the treatment of neuropathic pain; however, the target-driven development of novel sodium channel blocking analgesics has been generally unsuccessful. Recent human genetic data indicate an important role for the NaV1.7 channel subtype in pain signaling, and significant preclinical data identifies the NaV1.8 channel as a promising analgesic target, suggesting that the selective blockade of these subtypes may improve on the therapeutic index of sodium channel modulators. However, few subtype-selective small-molecule sodium channel blockers have been described.

Structural analyses of the recognition of lysine-acetylated peptides derived from histones and cellular proteins by BRDs have provided new insights into the differences between and unifying features of the selectivity that BRDs exhibit in binding biological ligands. Recent research has highlighted the importance of BRD/acetyl-lysine binding in orchestrating molecular interactions in chromatin biology and regulating gene transcription.
