Previous studies have shown that the activation of mouse MrgC11, a G-protein-coupled receptor, by its peptide ligand BAM8-22 can inhibit chronic pain. A large-scale screen has been carried out to isolate small-molecule allosteric agonists of MrgX1, the human homologue of MrgC11. The goal of this study is to improve the efficacy and potency of positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) with therapeutic implications in combating chronic pain. Herein we report an iterative parallel synthesis effort and ...[more]
