Inflammation of the trigeminal nerve is considered one of the most painful conditions known to humankind. The diagnosis is often difficult; moreover, safe and effective pharmacological treatments are lacking. A new molecule, ADM_12, formed by a lipoic and omotaurine residues covalently linked, is here reported. In vitro and in vivo tests showed that ADM_12 is a very attractive original compound presenting (i) a remarkable safety profile; (ii) a high binding constant versus TRPA1; (iii) an intriguing behavior versus TRPV1; and (iv) the ability to significantly and persistently reduce mechanical facial allodynia in rats. Noteworthy, by testing ADM_12, we shed light on the unprecedented involvement of TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels in orofacial pain.

Abstract
Inflammation of the trigeminal nerve is considered one of the most painful conditions known to humankind. The diagnosis is often difficult; moreover, safe and effective pharmacological treatments are lacking. A new molecule, ADM_12, formed by a lipoic and omotaurine residues covalently linked, is here reported. In vitro and in vivo tests showed that ADM_12 is a very attractive original compound presenting (i) a remarkable safety profile; (ii) a high binding constant versus TRPA1; (iii) an intriguing behavior versus TRPV1; and (iv) the ability to significantly and persistently reduce mechanical facial allodynia in rats. Noteworthy, by testing ADM_12, we shed light on the unprecedented involvement of TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels in orofacial pain.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
