    (Elsevier Ltd., 2010-02-15) Pajouhesh, Hassan; Ding, Yanbing; Zhang, Lingyun; Pajouhesh, Hossein; Belardetti, Francesco; Simonson, Eric; Porreca, Frank; Mitscher, Lester A; Snutch, Terrance P; Feng, Zhong Ping; Morrison, Jerrie Lynn; Tringham, Elizabeth W.; Vanderah, Todd W.; Zamponi, Gerald W.
    A novel series of compounds derived from the previously reported N-type calcium channel blocker NP118809 (1-(4-benzhydrylpiperazin-1-yl)-3,3-diphenylpropan-1-one) is described. Extensive SAR studies resulted in compounds with IC(50) values in the range of 10-150 nM and selectivity over the L-type channels up to nearly 1200-fold. Orally administered compounds 5 and 21 exhibited both anti-allodynic and anti-hyperalgesic activity in the spinal nerve ligation model of neuropathic pain.
