Discovery furthers development of novel non-opioid painkillers (analgesics) to safely and effectively treat neuropathic pain


"can provide much more selective targeting of the A1 receptor by binding to a different region of the protein than traditional, previously investigated, activators... minimal unwanted effects... increase their level of effectiveness as the pain signals in the spinal cord get stronger"

http://www.buffalo.edu/news/releases/2021/10/001.html "Even under conditions that promote hyperactivity in pain neurons, the researchers found they could significantly reduce this hyperactivity — and therefore pain perception — when they prevented endocytosis with their novel peptide molecule. By inhibiting endocytosis, we are able to prevent pain-sensing neurons from relaying pain information to the central nervous system”
