The discovery of a novel peripherally acting and selective Cav3.2 T-type calcium channel blocker, ABT-639, is described.

Modification of 4 to further improve ADME properties led to the discovery of ABT-639. Following oral administration, ABT-639 produces robust antinociceptive activity in experimental pain models at doses that do not significantly alter psycho ...[more]
