Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) • Involved with the neuronal development in the NS. • Implicated in Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, stroke and pain. • Production of NGF is stimulated in patients suffering from Arthritis pain. • Inhibition of NGF causes reduction in pain levels. Shamovsky,et al. J Am Chem Soc, 1999, 121, 9797-9806
Previously Identified NGF Inhibitors Target Molecules Marone, S. and Ross, G. 2000, World Patent No. WO0069829
