Abstract

Selective N-type voltage sensitive Calcium Channel (VSCC) blockers have shown utility in several models of stroke and Pain. We are especially interested in small molecule N-type calcium channel blockers for therapeutic use. Herein, we report a series of N,N-dialkyl-dipeptidylamines with potent functional activity at N-type VSCCs and in vivo efficacy. The synthesis, SAR, and pharmacological evaluation of this series are discussed.
