Clinical human genetic studies have recently identified the tetrodotoxin (TTX) sensitive neuronal voltage gated sodium channel Nav1.7 (SCN9A) as a critical mediator of pain sensitization. Herein, we report structure-activity relationships for a novel series of 2,4-diaminotriazines that inhibit hNav1.7. Optimization

We present a continuous-flow method that allows the release of drugs from submicron colloidal carriers to be estimated on a millisecond timescale. The technique is applied to the study of release of a model drug (tetracaine) from lipid emulsions, and

Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) evokes a perception of rotation; however, very few quantitative data exist on the matter. We performed psychophysical experiments on virtual rotations experienced when binaural bipolar electrical stimulation is applied over the mastoids. We also performed analogous

To determine the relative efficacy of lidocaine-prilocaine and tetracaine for procedural pain in children. Systematic review was performed (MEDLINE1990-June 2001) of all studies comparing the efficacy of these 2 modalities of pain relief in children undergoing painful cutaneous procedures. Search

Accurate determinations of lipophilicity indices benefit from recent advances in chromatographic sciences such as the launch of ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC). The fast strategy presented here emerges as a powerful method suitable for high-throughput log P measurements of therapeutic compounds
