A method for the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain in a mammal is provided. The method comprises administering to a mammal (e.g., a human) suffering from peripheral neuropathic pain a pain relieving amount of a diarylureido-dihalokynurenate compound. Preferred diarylureido-dihalokynurenate compounds are esters (e.g., ethyl esters). Particularly preferred are diphenylureido-dichlorokynurenate compounds. The diphenylureido-dihalokynurenate compounds are shown to be agonists of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) and stimulate CB1 activity.
A method for the treatment of chronic pain in a mammal is provided. The method comprises administering to a mammal (e.g., a human) suffering from chronic pain a pain relieving amount of a diarylureido-dihalokynurenate compound. Preferred diarylureido-dihalokynurenate compounds are esters (e.g., ethyl esters). Particularly preferred are diphenylureido-dichlorokynurenate compounds.
Aminoquinoline compounds useful for treating chronic pain, addiction, and other conditions are provided. The aminoquinoline compound is represented by Formula (I):
in which the substituents thereof are defined as set forth in the specification.
