Bioactivity | Olodanrigan (EMA401) is a highly selective, orally active, peripherally restricted angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) antagonist. It is under development as a neuropathic pain therapeutic agent. Olodanrigan (EMA401) analgesic action appears to involve inhibition of augmented AngII/AT2R induced p38 and p42/p44 MAPK activation, and hence inhibition of DRG neuron hyperexcitability and sprouting of DRG neurons[1][2][3][4]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | EMA401 (10 mg/kg; p.o.) results in a significant attenuation of theta power and increase in paw withdrawal latencies (PWL) in rats at day 14 after chronic constriction injury (CCI)[4]. | ||||||||||||
