New Drug Targets Neuropathic Pain

A new drug developed by Tel Aviv University researchers has been licensed by pharmaceutical company BioLineRx and offers a new treatment option to patients with neuropathic pain.

Developed by Bernard Attali and Asher Peretz, MD, of the Sackler Faculty of Medicine, the medication, known as BL-7050, inhibits the transmission of pain signals throughout the body. In experiments measuring electrical activity of neurons, the drug has been shown to prevent the hyper-excitability of neurons, protecting against neuropathic pain and epileptic seizures.
