Description:
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 
       [0001]    This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/316,515 filed on Mar. 23 rd , 2010. This application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entireties for all of its teachings. 
     
    
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0002]    This disclosure generally relates to compound, method of synthesizing the compound and method for the treatment of pain. More particularly, this disclosure relates to treating subjects suffering from neuropathic pain with pharmaceutically acceptable dose of compound or the prodrug. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0003]    Pain attributed to tissue injury is mainly caused by inflammation. The mechanism of peripheral inflammation includes local liberation of mediators released by cell lysis, inflammatory cells, and nerve endings. Nerve roots are vulnerable to compression (e.g., compressive radiculopathy, infections, and tumors). If the lesion is proximal to the dorsal root ganglion, there may be abnormality of the central axons but not necessarily of the peripheral axons. Therefore, tests aimed at the peripheral axons will not detect the injury in those situations. Likewise, complete degeneration of the axon is not necessary to produce clinical symptoms: lesions may be in the form of perinodal retraction of myelin or frank demyelination. Demyelination with ephaptic spread of action potentials between adjacent axons is believed to underlie bursts of lacerating pain because the action potentials transmitted along a few fibers can inappropriately spread many other axons. 
         [0004]    Chronic pain is a significant global health, economic and social problem. Complex regional pain syndrome is one of the most severe and mysterious neuropathic pain syndromes. The clinical symptoms of complex regional pain syndrome always include pain, hyperalgesia, and allodynia. 
         [0005]    Managing acute and chronic pathology of pain often relies on the addressing underlying pathology and symptoms of the disease. There is currently a need in the art for new compounds for treatment of acute and chronic pain.

         [0055]    The term “lower” when used in conjunction with a chemical moiety, such as, acyl, acyloxy, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or alkoxy is meant to include groups where there are ten or fewer non-hydrogen atoms in the substituent, preferably six or fewer. A “lower alkyl”, for example, refers to an alkyl group that contains ten or fewer carbon atoms, preferably six or fewer. Lower alkyls include methyl and ethyl. In certain embodiments, acyl, acyloxy, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or alkoxy substituents defined herein are respectively lower acyl, lower acyloxy, lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, lower alkynyl, or lower alkoxy, whether they appear alone or in combination with other substituents, such as in the recitations hydroxyalkyl and aralkyl (in which case, for example, the atoms within the aryl group are not counted when counting the carbon atoms in the alkyl substituent). 
         [0056]    The term “substituted” refers to moieties having substituents replacing hydrogen on one or more carbons of the backbone. It will be understood that “substitution” or “substituted with” includes the implicit proviso that such substitution is in accordance with permitted valence of the substituted atom and the substituent, and that the substitution results in a stable compound, e.g., which does not spontaneously undergo transformation such as by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, etc. As used herein, the term “substituted” is contemplated to include all permissible substituents of organic compounds. In a broad aspect, the permissible substituents include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and non-aromatic substituents of organic compounds. The permissible substituents can be one or more and the same or different for appropriate organic compounds. For purposes of this application, the heteroatoms such as nitrogen may have hydrogen substituents and/or any permissible substituents of organic compounds described herein which satisfy the valences of the heteroatoms. Substituents can include any substituents described herein, for example, a halogen, a hydroxyl, a carbonyl (such as a carboxyl, an alkoxycarbonyl, a formyl, or an acyl), a thiocarbonyl (such as a thioester, a thioacetate, or a thioformate), an alkoxyl, a phosphoryl, a phosphate, a phosphonate, a phosphinate, an amino, an amido, an amidine, an imine, a cyano, a nitro, an azido, a sulfhydryl, an alkylthio, a sulfate, a sulfonate, a sulfamoyl, a sulfonamido, a sulfonyl, a heterocyclyl, an aralkyl, or an aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the moieties substituted on the hydrocarbon chain can themselves be substituted, if appropriate. 
         [0057]    Unless specifically stated as “unsubstituted,” references to chemical moieties herein are understood to include substituted variants. For example, reference to an “aryl” group or moiety implicitly includes both substituted and unsubstituted variants. 
         [0058]    “Substituted or unsubstituted” means that a given moiety may consist of only hydrogen substituents through available valencies (unsubstituted) or may further comprise one or more non-hydrogen substituents through available valencibs (substituted) that are not otherwise specified by the name of the given moiety. For example, isopropyl is an example of an ethylene moiety that is substituted by —CH3. In general, a non-hydrogen substituent may be any substituent that may be bound to an atom of the given moiety that is specified to be substituted. Examples of substituents include, but are not limited to, aldehyde, alicyclic, aliphatic, (Ci-io) alkyl, alkylene, alkylidene, amide, amino, aminoalkyl, aromatic, aryl, bicycloalkyl, bicycloaryl, carbamoyl, carbocyclyl, carboxyl, carbonyl group, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylene, ester, halo, heterobicycloalkyl, heterocycloalkylene, heteroaryl, heterobicycloaryl, heterocycloalkyl, oxo, hydroxy, iminoketone, ketone, nitro, oxaalkyl and oxoalkyl moieties, each of which may optionally also be substituted or unsubstituted. In one particular embodiment, examples of substituents include, but are not limited to, hydrogen, halo, nitro, cyano, thio, oxy, hydroxy, carbonyloxy, (Ci_io) alkoxy, (C4-12) aryloxy, hetero (Ci-io)aryloxy, carbonyl, oxycarbonyl, aminocarbonyl, amino, (Ci-10) alkylamino, sulfonamido, imino, sulfonyl, sulfinyl, (Ci-10) alkyl, halo (Ci-10) alkyl, hydroxy (Ci-10) alkyl, carbonyl (Ci-10) alkyl, thiocarbonyl (Ci_i0) alkyl, sulfonyl (Ci-10) alkyl, sulfinyl (Ci_io) alkyl, (Ci_i0) azaalkyl, imino (Ci-I0) alkyl, (C3-12) cycloalkyl (C1-5) alkyl, hetero (C3-12) cycloalkyl (Ci-I0) alkyl, aryl (Ci-I0) alkyl, hetero (Ci-10) aryl (C1-5) alkyl, (C9-12) bicycloaryl (Ci_s) alkyl, hetero (Ce-I2) bicycloaryl (Ci — 5) alkyl, (C3-12) cycloalkyl, hetero (C3-12) cycloalkyl, (C9-12) bicycloalkyl, hetero (C3-I2) bicycloalkyl, (C4-I2) aryl, hetero (Ci-10) aryl, (C9-12) bicycloaryl and hetero (C4-12) bicycloaryl. In addition, the substituent is itself optionally substituted by a further substituent. In one particular embodiment, examples of the further substituent include, but are not limited to, hydrogen, halo, nitro, cyano, thio, oxy, hydroxy, carbonyloxy, (Ci-10) alkoxy, (C4-I2) aryloxy, hetero (Ci-10) aryloxy, carbonyl, oxycarbonyl, aminocarbonyl, amino, (Ci-10) alkylamino, sulfonamido, imino, sulfonyl, sulfinyl, (Ci-10) alkyl, halo (Ci-10) alkyl, hydroxy (Ci-10) alkyl, carbonyl (Ci-10) alkyl, thiocarbonyl (Ci-10) alkyl, sulfonyl (Ci-10) alkyl, sulfinyl (Ci-10) alkyl, (Ci-10) azaalkyl, imino (Ci_io) alkyl, (C3-I2) cycloalkyl (Ci-5) alkyl, hetero (C3-12) cycloalkyl (Ci-10) alkyl, aryl (Ci — 10) alkyl, hetero (Ci-io) aryl (Ci — 5) alkyl, (C9-I2) bicycloaryl (C1-5) alkyl, hetero (C8-12) bicycloaryl (Ci_s) alkyl, (C3-12) cycloalkyl, hetero (C3 — 12) cycloalkyl, (C9-12) bicycloalkyl, hetero (C3-12) bicycloalkyl, (C4-12) aryl, hetero (Ci-10) aryl, (C9-12) bicycloaryl and hetero (C4-12) bicycloaryl. 
         [0059]    The compounds of the present disclosure can be present in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The compounds of the present disclosure can also be present in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable esters (i.e., the methyl and ethyl esters of the acids of formulal I to be used as prodrugs). The compounds of the present disclosure can also be solvated, i.e. hydrated. The solvation can be effected in the course of the manufacturing process or can take place i.e. as a consequence of hygroscopic properties of an initially anhydrous compound of formula 1 (hydration). 
         [0060]    Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “isomers.” Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers.” Diastereomers are stereoisomers with opposite configuration at one or more chiral centers which are not enantiomers. Stereoisomers bearing one or more asymmetric centers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers.” When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, if a carbon atom is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center or centers and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn, Ingold and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (−)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”. 
         [0061]    The term “sulfate” is art-recognized and refers to the group OSO3H, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 
         [0062]    As used herein, the term “pain” refers to an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage caused by or resulting in stimulation of nociceptors in the peripheral nervous system, or by damage to or malfunction of the peripheral or central nervous systems and neural voltage channel transmission. Pain related diseases or disorders includes such as Cancer (chemotherapy and surgery related), Neurologic (bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor, ataxia, dyskinesia, dysarthria, seizures, neuropathic pain), Psychiatric (behavioral disturbances, cognitive impairment, psychosis), Ophthalmologic (dry eye, cataracts), Hematologic (haemolysis, coagulopathy), Renal (renal tubular defects, diminished glomerular filtration, nephrolithiasis), Cardiovascular (cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, conduction disturbances, autonomic dysfunction), Musculoskeletal (osteomalacia, osteoporosis, degenerative joint diseases), Gastrointestinal (cholelithiasis, pancreatitis, bacterial peritonitis), Surgery or amputation related or any other medical condition, is well understood in the art, and includes administration of a compound which reduces the frequency of, or delays the onset of, symptoms of a medical condition in a subject relative to a subject which does not receive the compound. 
         [0063]    The term “polymorph” as used herein is art-recognized and refers to one crystal structure of a given compound. 
         [0064]    “Residue” is an art-recognized term that refers to a portion of a molecule. For instance, a residue of thioctic acid may be: dihydrolipoic acid, bisnorlipoic acid, tetranorlipoic acid, 6,8-bismethylmercapto-octanoic acid, 4,6-bismethylmercapto-hexanoic acid, 2,4-bismethylmeracapto-butanoic acid, 4,6-bismethylmercapto-hexanoic acid. 
         [0065]    The phrases “parenteral administration” and “administered parenterally” as used herein refer to modes of administration other than enteral and topical administration, such as injections, and include without limitation intravenous, intramuscular, intrapleural, intravascular, intrapericardial, intraarterial, intrathecal, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradennal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subcuticular, intra-articular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal and intrasternal injection and infusion. 
         [0066]    A “patient,” “subject,” or “host” to be treated by the subject method may mean either a human or non-human animal, such as primates, mammals, and vertebrates. 
         [0067]    The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” is art-recognized. In certain embodiments, the term includes compositions, polymers and other materials and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. 
         [0068]    The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” is art-recognized, and includes, for example, pharmaceutically acceptable materials, compositions or vehicles, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, solvent or encapsulating material involved in carrying or transporting any subject composition, from one organ, or portion of the body, to another organ, or portion of the body. Each carrier must be “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of a subject compound and not injurious to the patient. In certain embodiments, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is non-pyrogenic. Some examples of materials which may serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include: (1) sugars, such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; (2) starches, such as corn starch and potato starch; (3) cellulose, and its derivatives, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; (4) powdered tragacanth; (5) malt; (6) gelatin; (7) talc; (8) cocoa butter and suppository waxes; (9) oils, such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil and soybean oil; (10) glycols, such as propylene glycol; (11) polyols, such as glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol and polyethylene glycol; (12) esters, such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; (13) agar; (14) buffering agents, such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; (15) alginic acid; (16) pyrogen-free water; (17) isotonic saline; (18) Ringer&#39;s solution; (19) ethyl alcohol; (20) phosphate buffer solutions; and (21) other non-toxic compatible substances employed in pharmaceutical formulations. 
         [0069]    The term “polymorph” as used herein is art-recognized and refers to one crystal structure of a given compound. 
         [0070]    The term “prodrug” is intended to encompass compounds that, under physiological conditions, are converted into the therapeutically active agents of the present disclosure. A common method for making a prodrug is to include selected moieties that are hydrolyzed under physiological conditions to reveal the desired molecule. In other embodiments, the prodrug is converted by an enzymatic activity of the host animal. 
         [0071]    The term “prophylactic or therapeutic” treatment is art-recognized and includes administration to the host of one or more of the subject compounds. If it is administered prior to clinical manifestation of the unwanted condition (e.g., disease or other unwanted state of the host animal) then the treatment is prophylactic, i.e., it protects the host against developing the unwanted condition, whereas if it is administered after manifestation of the unwanted condition, the treatment is therapeutic, (i.e., it is intended to diminish, ameliorate, or stabilize the existing unwanted condition or side effects thereof). 
         [0072]    The term “treating” is art-recognized and includes preventing a disease, disorder or condition from occurring in an animal which may be predisposed to the disease, disorder and/or condition but has not yet been diagnosed as having it; inhibiting the disease, disorder or condition, e.g., impeding its progress; and relieving the disease, disorder, or condition, e.g., causing regression of the disease, disorder and/or condition. Treating the disease or condition includes ameliorating at least one symptom of the particular disease or condition, even if the underlying pathophysiology is not affected, such as treating the pain of a subject by administration of an analgesic agent even though such agent does not treat the cause of the pain. The term “treating”, “treat” or “treatment” as used herein includes curative, preventative (e.g., prophylactic), adjunct and palliative treatment. 
         [0073]    The phrase “therapeutically effective amount” is an art-recognized term. In certain embodiments, the term refers to an amount of a salt or compound disclosed herein that produces some desired effect at a reasonable benefit/risk ratio applicable to any medical treatment. In certain embodiments, the term refers to that amount necessary or sufficient to eliminate or reduce medical symptoms for a period of time. The effective amount may vary depending on such factors as the disease or condition being treated, the particular targeted constructs being administered, the size of the subject, or the severity of the disease or condition. One of ordinary skill in the art may empirically determine the effective amount of a particular compound without necessitating undue experimentation. 
         [0074]    In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein are formulated in a manner such that said compounds will be delivered to a patient in a therapeutically effective amount, as part of a prophylactic or therapeutic treatment. The desired amount of the compound to be administered to a patient will depend on absorption, inactivation, and excretion rates of the drug as well as the delivery rate of the salts and compounds from the subject compounds. It is to be noted that dosage values may also vary with the severity of the condition to be alleviated. It is to be further understood that for any particular subject, specific dosage regimens should be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the compositions. 
         [0075]    Additionally, the optimal concentration and/or quantities or amounts of any particular salt or compound may be adjusted to accommodate variations in the treatment parameters. Such treatment parameters include the clinical use to which the preparation is put, e.g., the site treated, the type of patient, e.g., human or non-human, adult or child, and the nature of the disease or condition. 
         [0076]    The term “solvate” as used herein, refers to a compound formed by solvation (e.g., a compound formed by the combination of solvent molecules with molecules or ions of the solute). 
         [0077]    When used with respect to a pharmaceutical composition or other material, the term “sustained release” is art-recognized. For example, a subject compound which releases a substance over time may exhibit sustained release characteristics, in contrast to a bolus type administration in which the entire amount of the substance is made biologically available at one time. For example, in particular embodiments, upon contact with body fluids including blood, spinal fluid, mucus secretions, lymph or the like, one or more of the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient may undergo gradual or delayed degradation (e.g., through hydrolysis) with concomitant release of any material incorporated therein, e.g., an therapeutic and/or biologically active salt and/or compound, for a sustained or extended period (as compared to the release from a bolus). This release may result in prolonged delivery of therapeutically effective amounts of any of the therapeutic agents disclosed herein. 
         [0078]    The phrases “systemic administration,” “administered systemically,” “peripheral administration” and “administered peripherally” are art-recognized, and include the administration of a subject compound, therapeutic or other material at a site remote from the disease being treated. Administration of an agent directly into, onto, or in the vicinity of pain sensation of the disease being treated, even if the agent is subsequently distributed systemically, may be termed “local” or “topical” or “regional” administration, other than directly into the central nervous system, e.g., by subcutaneous administration, such that it enters the patient&#39;s system and, thus, is subject to metabolism and other like processes. 
         [0079]    The present disclosure also contemplates prodrugs of the compounds disclosed herein, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said prodrugs. 
         [0080]    Generally, in carrying out the methods detailed in this application, an effective dosage for the compounds of Formulas 1 is in the range of about 0.3 mg/kg/day to about 60 mg/kg/day in single or divided doses, for instance 1 mg/kg/day to about 50 mg/kg/day in single or divided doses. The compounds of Formulas 1 may be administered at a dose of, for example, less than 2 mg/kg/day, 5 mg/kg/day, 10 mg/kg/day, 20 mg/kg/day, 30 mg/kg/day, or 40 mg/kg/day. Compounds of Formula 1 may also be administered to a human patient at a dose of, for example, between 50 mg and 1000 mg, between 100 mg and 800 mg, or less than 1000, 900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 400, 300, 200, or 100 mg per day. In certain embodiments, the compounds herein are administered at an amount that is less than 95%, 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, or 10% of the compound of formula 1 required for the same therapeutic benefit. 
         [0081]    In some cases, it may be desirable to administer in the form of a kit, it may comprise a container for containing the separate compounds such as a divided bottle or a divided foil packet. Typically the kit comprises directions for the administration of the separate components. The kit form is particularly advantageous when the separate components are preferably administered in different dosage forms (e.g., oral and parenteral), are administered at different dosage intervals, or when titration of the individual components of the combination is desired by the prescribing physician. 
         [0082]    Compound of formula lis disclosed as follows: In one embodiment, a compound of formula 1 is disclosed.

         [0092]    Ethyl methyl ketone (450 ml; reactant as well as solvent) and paraformaldehyde (30.0 g) at 40° C. were mixed and were continuously stirred. NaOH solution (1.0 M aq) was slowly added drop by drop until the reaction mixture turned blue. After 40 min, the two layers were observed to be visibly separated indicating all the solid paraformaldehyde was dissolved. The reaction mixture further neutralized by drop-wise addition of glacial acetic acid and then extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na 2 SO 4  and evaporated under reduced pressure. The intermediate compound 2 (shown as 2) was purified by high vacuum distillation under reduced pressure to yield 26.0 g of ketone (intermediate compound 2) as yellow oil. The yellow oil had a boiling point (bp) of 90-110° C. at 12 mm Hg. (Yield: 25.7%, calculated based on paraformaldehyde)

         [0098]    To a solution of intermediate compound 4 (1.0 eq) in dry DCM (100 ml), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1.5 eq) was added, followed by drop-wise addition of 1-chloroethylchloroformate (1.2 eq) at 0° C. and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 30 min at 0° C. On completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture containing intermediate compound 5 (shown as 5) was directly used for the next step, without any further purification. 
         [0099]    To the above reaction mixture lipoic acid (1.2 eq) and anhydrous K 2 CO 3  (3.0 eq) in dry dimethylformamide (DMF) (50 ml) at 0° C. was slowly added. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 16 h at room temperature (rt). Reaction was monitored by TLC. On completion of the reaction, reaction mixture was poured into 100 ml of distilled water and extracted with EtOAc (2×100 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with brine solution (100 ml), dried over anhydrous Na 2 SO 4  and evaporated under reduced pressure. The resultant crude was purified by column chromatography over 100-200 mesh silica gel by using 10% ethyl acetate-pet ether as eluent to yield 3.0 g (35%) of intermediate compound 6 as a yellow liquid.

         [0101]    To a solution of intermediate compound 6 (1.0 eq) in dry TETRAHYDROFURAN (THF) (20 ml), tetrabutylammonium fluoride (1M solution in THF) (3.0 eq) was added drop-wise at 0° C. and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 4-6 h at rt. Reaction was monitored by TLC. On completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was poured into water (50 ml) and extracted with EtOAc (2×50 ml), the combined organic layers were washed with brine solution (100 ml), dried over anhydrous Na 2 SO 4  and evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude was purified by column chromatography over 100-200 mesh silica gel by using 25% ethyl acetate-pet ether as eluent to yield 0.18 g (23%) of intermediate compound 7 as yellow oil.

       Method of Treatment, Testing and Results Using the Final Compound 
       [0106]    Experimental animals were male SD rats with a starting weight of 230-250 grams. Total number of animals were n=90 for surgery and n=60 after selection. The animals were caged in groups of 3 in a temperature and humidity controlled area. They were maintained on a 12 hr light/dark cycle and had ad libitum access to food and water. 
         [0107]    Neuropathic pain inducement was done by following principles of Chung induced model. The SD rats were anesthetized using ketamine/xylazine sodium. The rats were shaved and placed in prone position for surgery. The L5-L6 spinal nerves were surgically litigated. The rats were returned to their cages for recuperation and recovery under comfortable warm conditions using heat lamps. 
         [0108]    After seven days of surgery a pre selection was performed. Animals that indicate signs of post operative pain were to be selected to proceed. Pain is detected by observing when one or more of the criteria are met as follows. Licking of the operated paw, accompanied by gentle biting or pulling on the nails with the mouth; placing the leg in the air; bearing weight on the side contra-lateral to the nerve injury; deformities of the hind paw and abnormal posture and walking; weakness of the left hind paw. The animals that exhibited these pain occurring symptoms were chosen for further steps. However, the animal must be able to move its leg to ensure that the L 4  spinal nerve is intact. If the animal cannot move its leg, it was excluded from the study. 
         [0109]    Second level of selection of the rats was done on day 14 after the surgery. Von Frey test was performed on the preselected rats after day 7 on day 14. Using Von Frey methodology, animals with a pain threshold of ≦26 g for the operated leg will be included in the study. After this selection step, the animals were randomly placed into their experimental groups. 
         [0110]    Blank, positive control and test compound: Blank was just the medium used for dissolving other compounds. The positive control was Gabapentin and the test compound was the final compound of formula 1 discussed in the instant disclosure. Three types of experimental groups were formed. Three different types of chemicals were used to determine the efficacy of the chemicals as well comparison of the instant disclosed compound with a positive control was performed. The final compound of the instant application was administered at 100 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg body weight as two different groups. The Gabapentin was administered at 150 mg/kg body weight.

         [0111]    As shown in  FIG. 5 , on day 14 blank compound and final compound will be administered once daily starting on study day 14 through study day 21. Gabapentin, the positive control, will be administered 2 hours prior to pain testing on study days 14 and 21. The Von Frey test will be performed prior to final compound administration (pre-final compound injection) and after final compound administration at 0.5 hours, 2 hours and 4.5 hours post-final compound injection on study days 14 and 21. Additionally, if the Von Frey response for the operated leg of one of the six treatment groups is significant at 4.5 hours, all the groups will be tested again at 6.5 hours. In all instances, unless decided otherwise in the course of the study, all dosing solutions are applied as once a day intra peritoneal (IP) administration on each of the repeated dosing sessions. After the termination of the study the animals were euthanized. 
         [0112]    A one-way ANOVA following by a Tukey post-test was performed to determine significance of treatment effects compared to the blank. A p value &lt;0.05 is considered to represent a significant difference. 
         [0113]    As shown in  FIG. 5 , the instant final compound of formula 1 at a dose of 150 mg/kg was effective in treating the spinal nerve ligation model for neuropathic pain in rats as reflected in the parameters of mechanical allodynia at 2 hours post-treatment on study days 14 and 21. The activity of the instant final compound of formula 1 at a dose of 150 mg/kg was similar to the activity of Gabapentin, the positive control in this study.
