Inhibition of voltage-gated sodium channels by sumatriptan bioisosteres

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2015
Voltage-gated sodium channels are known to play a pivotal role in perception and transmission of pain sensations. Gain-of-function mutations in the genes encoding the peripheral neuronal sodium channels, hNav1.7-1.9, cause human painful diseases.
