Brief description Chronic pain is a major global health problem that currently affects over three million Australians. There are few drugs available for treatment of chronic pain and most have significant side-effects. Individuals lacking a particular type of ion channel known as Nav1.7 are completely insensitive to pain, but are otherwise normal. Block of this channel therefore appears to be an ideal avenue for pain relief. This project aims to produce selective Nav1.7 blockers that can be used as analgesics for treating chronic pain.
