Abstract：
PURPOSE:Novel therapeutics are greatly needed that target specific pathological receptors and pathways involved in Neuropathic Pain (NP). Extending our previous work published in this Journal on Group I metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) modulators, we now investigate the therapeutic potential of niclosamide in modulating aberrant glutamate transmission in NP. METHOD:Calcium mobilization assays and cross-receptor selectivity experiments are conducted to characterize the pharmacological activity of niclosamide. A focused series of niclosamide analogues is then prepared to elucidate key structural determinants that emerged from computational molecular modeling analysis on drug-receptor interactions. Finally, niclosamide and a carbamate derivative are studied to assess their efficacy in an NP-evoked mechanical hyperalgesia model in rats. RESULTS:Niclosamide is a low-nanomolar allosteric antagonist of Group I mGluRs with high selectivity for Group I over homologous Group III mGluRs. The phenolic hydroxyl group of niclosamide forms a crucial hydrogen bond with mGluR1/5. Its bioactive coplanar conformation is further stabilized by the nitro substituent on the B ring and an intramolecular bond. Mechanical hyperalgesia in NP rats is reversed by niclosamide through three different dosing routes. CONCLUSION:To our knowledge, this is the first report of the salicylanilide class of compounds as potential treatments for NP.
