  • Patent number: 11834713
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to novel analgesics useful for treating mechanical pain. The invention suggests the use of inhibitors of ?-tubulin acetylation for inhibition of neurological sensations that are mediated by sensory neurons. The perception of mechanical pain is can be modulated by altering the ?-tubulin acetylation, in context of the invention in particular by modulation of the expression and/or activity of the enzyme ?-tubulin acetyltransferase (Atat). The invention provides the medical application of ?-tubulin acetyltransferase inhibitors as analgesics and a screening method for the identification of compounds useful in the treatment of pain.
