Abstract: The present invention provides compounds which are subtype selective antagonists of the alpha 2B adrenergic receptor and have no or weak antagonist activity at the other alpha adrenergic receptors. These compounds are useful as tool compounds and, in particular, as tool compounds for developing compounds useful in treating diseases that include but are not limited to chronic pain, visceral pain, corneal pain, neuropathic pain, glaucoma, ischemic neuropathies and other neurodegenerative diseases and conditions. These compounds are also useful as compounds for treating myocardial infarction and preventing acute coronary events. The compounds of this invention are 3-amino-1-thioxo or oxo-1,2,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-2,7-naphthyridine-4-carbonitriles or substituted derivatives thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of screening compounds that modulate G-protein coupled receptors. The assays are performed at temperatures of between about 25° C. and 40° C.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for treating pain in mammals. In particular, the invention provides well-defined aminoimidazolines, aminothiazolines, and aminooxazolines and pharmaceutical compositions thereof to treat pain.
