                                        Comment: PL37 is an investigational, orally available, dual pro-drug inhibitor of neprilysin (a.k.a. neutral endopeptidase or NEP; MME) and aminopeptidase N (APN; ANPEP) [3]. NEP and APN are enkephalin catabolising enzymes (or enkephalinases). Dual ENKephalinase inhibitors such as this one have been ascribed the acronym DENK inhibitor (or DENKi). PL37 is the non-stereo enantiomer of compound 15 in patent US8247609 [4]. Such dual inhibitors are suggested as a novel mechanism for the control of central and peripheral pain [5], via inhibition of enzymatic degradation of endogenous enkephalins. Such agents could replace the use of opiate analgesics. |
