The synthesis and SAR of a series of indazole TRPV1 antagonists leading to the discovery of 21 (ABT-116) is described. Biological studies demonstrated potent in vitro and in vivo activity for 21, as well as suitable physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties for advancement to clinical development for pain management.
