N-type calcium channels are a subset of VGCCs distinguished by their physiology, pharmacology and significance to the pathology of chronic pain. Despite decades of investigation, only a single drug targeting N-type channel function has entered the marketplace. This review will summarize our current understanding of the biology, physiology and pharmacology of N-type calcium channels and the implication of these features for therapeutic intervention. From this basis of understanding, recent efforts to discover and develop peptide based and small molecule modulators of N-type calcium channel function will be discussed. </p>","PeriodicalId":20755,"journal":{"name":"Progress in medicinal chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/B978-0-444-63380-4.00004-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"32023743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also review the progresses made towards the optimization of JAK inhibitors and the importance of their selectivity profile. Indeed, the full array of many medicinal chemistry enabling tools (HTS, X-ray crystallography, scaffold morphing, etc.) has been deployed to successfully design molecules that discriminate among JAK family and other kinases.
