Inhibition of spinal Ca2+-permeable AMPA receptors with dicationic compounds alleviates persistent inflammatory pain without adverse effects
Upregulation of Ca2+-permeable AMPA receptors (CP-AMPARs) in the dorsal horn neurons of the spinal cord has been causally linked to the maintenance of persistent inflammatory pain. Therefore, inhibition of CP-AMPARs could potentially alleviate an, otherwise, poorly treatable chronic pain. However, a...
