Synthesis and T-type calcium channel blocking activity of novel diphenylpiperazine compounds, and evaluation of in vivo analgesic activity

Bioorg Med Chem. 2010 Aug 15;18(16):5938-44. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2010.06.082. Epub 2010 Jun 30.

Abstract

Novel diphenylpiperazine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against T-type calcium channel by whole-cell patch clamp recordings on HEK293 cells. Among the test compounds, 2 and 3d were effective in decreasing the response to formalin in both the first and second phases and demonstrated antiallodynic effects in a rat model of neuropathic pain.
