Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Permanently charged sodium channel blocker with analgesic potential. This entry shows the compound without the associated bromide ion [1].

Bioactivity Comments |
Because of its permanent positive charge, ASN008 cannot gain access to the interior of the cell by passively permeating through the cell membrane. However, ASN008 is believed to gain access to the interior of the cell to block the sodium channels, by passage through the large gated pores present in TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels [1]. |
