PF-05089771 is a selective and potent inhibitor of the human voltage-gated sodium ion channel Nav1.7 with an IC50 value of 11 nM. PF-05089771 targets the voltage-sensing domain, preferentially interacting with, and stabilizing, inactivated channel conformations by interaction with the voltage-sensor domain (VSD) of Domain 4. Nav1.7 is expressed in sensory neurons and is critical for pain processing. PF-05089771 is being investigated for the treatment of chronic neuropathic pain.
Human genetic studies show that the voltage gated sodium channel 1.7 (Nav1.7) is a key molecular determinant of pain sensation. However, defining the Nav1.7 contribution to nociceptive signalling has been hampered by a lack of selective inhibitors. Here we report
PF-05089771 is an aryl sulfonamide Nav1.7 channel blocker that binds to the inactivated state of Nav1.7 channels with high affinity but binds only weakly to channels in the resting state. Such aryl sulfonamide Nav1.7 channel blockers bind to the extracellular
