[0013] KCNQ activating compounds
[0014] In its first aspect, the present invention relates to chemicals capable of activating KCNQ channels in the treatment or alleviation of pain, in particular neuropathic pain, chronic headache, central pain, diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, or peripheral pain Use in the pain of nerve damage.
[0015] In the context of the present invention, a KCNQ-activating substance is one which, in the presence of micromolar or preferably sub-micromolar concentrations of said substance, is capable of enhancing KCNQ channel activity - ie through the channel, compared to KCNQ channel activity in the absence of said substance The current-substance in which the channel activity is measured under physiological conditions.
[0016] Enhanced activity can be specifically defined as an increase in current obtained under physiological conditions at any given membrane potential when the channel conducts current under physiological conditions, or a d...
