2,3-Diaminopyridine Bradykinin B1 Receptor Antagonists

Abstract
Bradykinin B1 receptor antagonists embody a potentially novel approach for the treatment of chronic pain and inflammation. A series of 2,3-diaminopyridine B1 antagonists was optimized to have sub-nanomolar affinity and good pharmacokinetic properties. Lead compounds were shown to exhibit good efficacy in rabbit in vivo models of pain and inflammation.
