A-967079 is a potent, selective, and orally bioavailable inhibitor of the TRPA1 channel, developed by developed by Abbott Laboratories for treatment pain disorder. A-967079 potently blocks human and rat TRPA1 channels. A-967079 is 1000-fold selective over other TRP channels and is 150-fold selective over 75 other ion channels, enzymes, and G-protein-coupled receptors. Oral dosing of A-967079 produces robust drug exposure in rodents and exhibits analgesic efficacy in allyl isothiocyanate-induced nocifensive response and osteoarthritic pain in rats. A-967079 attenuates cold allodynia produced by nerve injury but does not alter noxious cold sensation in naive animals, suggesting distinct roles of TRPA1 in physiological and pathological states. Unlike TRPV1 antagonists, A-967079 does not alter body temperature. It also does not produce locomotor or cardiovascular side effects.
