Abstract
The transient receptor potential melastatin type 8 (TRPM8) is a nonselective cation channel primarily expressed in a subpopulation of sensory neurons that can be activated by a wide range of stimuli, including menthol, icilin, and cold temperatures (<25 °C). Antagonism of TRPM8 is currently under investigation as a new approach for the treatment of pain. As a result of our screening efforts, we identified tetrahydrothienopyridine 4 as an inhibitor of icilin-induced calcium influx in CHO cells expressing recombinant rat TRPM8. Exploration of the structure-activity relationships of 4 led to the identification of a potent and orally bioavailable TRPM8 antagonist, tetrahydroisoquinoline 87. Compound 87 demonstrated target coverage in vivo after oral administration in a rat pharmacodynamic model measuring the prevention of icilin-induced wet-dog shakes (WDS).
