Analgesic Effects of GpTx-1, PF-04856264 and CNV1014802 in a Mouse Model of NaV1.7-Mediated Pain [PDF]
Loss-of-function mutations of NaV1.7 lead to congenital insensitivity to pain, a rare condition resulting in individuals who are otherwise normal except for the inability to sense pain, making pharmacological inhibition of NaV1.7 a promising therapeutic ...

Spider Venom Peptide Pn3a Inhibition of Primary Afferent High Voltage-Activated Calcium Channels
Despite potently inhibiting the nociceptive voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channel, Nav1.7, µ-theraphotoxin Pn3a is antinociceptive only upon co-administration with sub-therapeutic opioid agonists, or by itself at doses >3,000-fold greater than its Nav1.7

The Role of Neuro‐Immune Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by abnormal proliferation of epidermal cells induced by an overactive immune system. In addition to the interaction between immune cells and keratinocytes, emerging research highlights the indispensable role of peripheral sensory neurons in the initiation and progression of psoriatic ...

Inhibition of Inactive States of Tetrodotoxin-Sensitive Sodium Channels Reduces Spontaneous Firing of C-Fiber Nociceptors and Produces Analgesia in Formalin and Complete Freund's Adjuvant Models of Pain. [PDF]
While genetic evidence shows that the Nav1.7 voltage-gated sodium ion channel is a key regulator of pain, it is unclear exactly how Nav1.7 governs neuronal firing and what biophysical, physiological, and distribution properties of a pharmacological Nav1 ...

Gain-of-function mutation of a voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.7 associated with peripheral pain and impaired limb development [PDF]
Dominant mutations in voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.7 cause inherited erythromelalgia, a debilitating pain disorder characterized by severe burning pain and redness of the distal extremities. NaV1.7 is preferentially expressed within peripheral sensory and sympathetic neurons.
