«This is a new application for an old pain medication that offers hope for reducing
the development of acute pain in the first few days after surgery, as well as chronic postoperative pain and the need for opioid medications following discharge from the hospital,» said Glenn S. Murphy, M.D., lead study author and physician anesthesiologist at NorthShore University Health System in Evanston, Illinois.
«Our research and
development team has made tremendous progress with our portfolio
of novel, small molecule Naᵥ1.7 inhibitors for the treatment
of acute and chronic
pain,» said Stan Abel, President and Chief Executive Officer
of SiteOne Therapeutics.
Its drug
development expertise is being applied primarily to the fields
of pain management, central nervous system disorders,
acute organ injury and metabolic diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease / nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
