Abstract
The present invention relates to high affinity compounds, able to bind the transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily Vanilloid, type 1 or TRPV1. Being this receptor involved in pain processing and neurogenic inflammatory 5 responses and being up-regulated during chronic pain conditions, the compounds of the invention find particular application in all medical conditions involving said receptors, in particular as agents for pain therapy and/or anti-inflammatory and/or cluster headache therapy and/or anti-oxidant and/or anti-cancer therapy. Moreover, the 10 chemical structure of these compounds provides the opportunity of developing new radiotracers for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging. These radiotracers are of great relevance for mapping TRPV1 receptors in (patho)physI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
