P2Y₁₄ Receptor Antagonists Reverse Chronic Neuropathic Pain in a Mouse Model.

ABSTRACT: Eight P2Y₁₄R antagonists, including three newly synthesized analogues, containing a naphthalene or phenyl-triazolyl scaffold were compared in a mouse model of chronic neuropathic pain (sciatic constriction). P2Y₁₄R antagonists rapidly (≤30 min) reversed mechano-allodynia, with maximal effects typically within 1 h after injection. Two analogues (4-[4-(4-piperidinyl)phenyl]-7-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid 1 and N-acetyl analogue 4, 10 μmol/kg, i.p.) achieved complete pain reversal (100%) at 1 to 2 h, with relief evident up to 5 h for 4 (41%). A reversed triazole analogue 7 reached 87% maximal protection. Receptor affinity was determined using a fluorescent antagonist binding assay, indicating similar mouse an
