https://www.selleckchem.com/products/2,4-thiazolidinedione.html In 2006, humans with a congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP) were found to lack functional NaV 1.7 channels. In the subsequent 15 years there was a rush to develop selective inhibitors of NaV 1.7 channels with the goal of producing broadly effective analgesics without the problems of addiction and tolerance associated with opioids. Pharmacologically, this mission has been highly successful, leading to a number of highly potent and selective inhibitors of NaV 1.7 channels. However, there are very few examples where these inhibitors have yielded effective analgesia in preclinical pain models or human clinical trials. In this review, we summarise the role of the NaV 1.7 channel in nociception, its history as a therapeutic target and the quest to develop potent inhibitors of this channel. Finally, we discuss possible reasons why the pain-free state seen in humans with CIP has been so difficult to replicate pharmacologically.Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) of autosomal recessive inheritance, also known as Kostmann disease, is characterised by a lack of neutrophils and a propensity for life-threatening infections. Using whole-exome sequencing, we identified homozygous JAGN1 mutations (p.Gly14Ser and p.Glu21Asp) in three patients with Kostmann-like SCN, thus confirming the recent attribution of JAGN1 mutations to SCN. Using the human promyelocytic cell line HL-60 as a model, we found that overexpression of patient-derived JAGN1 mutants, but not silencing of JAGN1, augmented cell death in response to the pro-apoptotic stimuli, etoposide, staurosporine, and thapsigargin. Furthermore, cells expressing mutant JAGN1 were remarkably susceptible to agonists that normally trigger degranulation and succumbed to a calcium-dependent cell death programme. This mode of cell death was completely prevented by pharmacological inhibition of calpain but unaffected by caspase inhibition. In conclusion, our results confirmed
