Abstract

This highlight outlines the development of novel substituted 1-phenyl-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4-(1H)-one derivatives as potential inhibitor candidates for Nav 1.8 voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav 1.8), which is upregulated or activated to transmit nociceptive signaling in a range of pain-related disorders. The invention includes details on preparation methods, biological activity assays, and pharmaceutical compositions.
