overactive bladder and painful bladder syndrome; however, there is a potential risk of low blood pressure. We report herein the synthesis and structure–activity relationships of novel phenylglycine derivatives that led to the identification of KPR-2579 (20l), a TRPM8 selective antagonist. KPR-2579 reduced the number of icilin-induced wet-dog shakes and rhythmic bladder contraction in rats, with no negative
