A method for identifying compounds that can be useful for producing analgesia is disclosed. In particular, the method involves providing a preparation of a cell, that expresses an alpha
1B
adrenergic receptor, combining a test compound with the cell preparation, measuring the effect of the test compound on the alpha
1B
receptor activity, and evaluating the compound thus identified for analgesic activity.
本发明揭示了一种用于鉴定可用于产生止痛作用的化合物的方法。具体而言,该方法涉及提供表达α1B
肾上腺素能受体的细胞制备,将测试化合物与细胞制备结合,测量测试化合物对α1B受体活性的影响,并评估因此鉴定出的化合物的止痛活性。
