Description

Methyl 2,3-dichlorobenzoate is a benzyl compound that has been shown to be a potent lead compound for the treatment of neuropathic pain. It inhibits the activity of tetrazole, an enzyme that is involved in the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF). Methyl 2,3-dichlorobenzoate also blocks the action of triazoles, which are compounds that inhibit NGF. This leads to reduced pain sensitivity in rats. The reoptimized physicochemical properties of methyl 2,3-dichlorobenzoate make it more effective than other lead compounds for treatment of neuropathic pain.
