EP 2 674 161 A1 Printed by Jouve, 75001 PARIS (FR) EP 2 674 161 A1 Description [0001] The present invention relates to the field of method of treatment of pain and the provision of pharmaceutical compounds suitable for such treatments. 5 [0002] Acute and chronic pain affects millions of people after injury or surgery and those suffering from diseases like arthritis, cancer, and diabetes. Nociception (the detection of noxious or damaging stimuli) serves a crucial biological purpose: it alerts living organisms to environmental dangers, inducing the sensation of pain, reflex withdrawal and complex behavioural and emotional responses, which protect the organism from further damage. Noxious stimuli are detected by specialized high threshold primary sensory neurons (nociceptors), which transfer signals to the spinal cord 10 and then transmit them to the brain for higher level processing that results in the conscious awareness of the sensation called pain. The functional importance of pain perception is exemplified by individuals with defects in nociception; patients with congenital insensitivity to pain do not survive past their twenties. [0003] Two basic types of pain can be distinguished - acute and chronic. Acute or nociceptive pain is generally self- limiting and serves a protective biological function by warning of ongoing tissue damage caused by noxious chemical, 15 thermal and mechanical stimuli. Examples of nociceptive pain include: postoperative pain, pain associated with trauma, and the pain associated with arthritis. Chronic pain, on the other hand, serves no protective biological function, and reflects either poor resolution of the painful stimuli, or is itself a disease process. Chronic pain is unrelenting and not self-limiting and can persist for years and even decades after the initial injury. Chronic pain is predominantly neuropathic in nature and may involve damage either to the peripheral or central nervous systems. 20 [0004] It is a goal of the present invention to provide methods of treating, ameliorating or suppressing pain, in particular by the use of novel compounds for this purpose. [0005] The present invention therefore provides the use of new classes of compounds for the treatment, prevention or reduction of pain.

Inhibitors or ligands (i.e. binders) or modulators of FRK, PDE4D, LPAR3, CAMK1D, CSNK1G3 or FMO3 can be used in the treatment of pain in a subject. In preferred embodiments the FRK, PDE4D, LPAR3, CAMK1D, CSNK1G3 or FMO3 modulator is a selective FRK, PDE4D, LPAR3, CAMK1D, 45 CSNK1G3 or FMO3 modulator. By "selective" it is meant that the affinity for one of FRK, PDE4D, LPAR3, CAMK1D or FMO3 is at least 10-fold, preferably 25-fold, more preferred 100-fold, still preferred 150-fold higher than the affinity of the other targets selected from FRK, PDE4D, LPAR3, CAMK1D or FMO3. [0007] Surprisingly it has been shown that some of these targets, such as FRK, FMO3, LPAR3 can be both activated, e.g. by an agonist, or inhibited (e.g. by an inhibitor or antagonist) for an anti-pain effect in a patient. The group of agonists 50 and antagonists is refered to herein as "modulators". Although in most cases an inhibitor is preferred for greater effect, it seems that modulation of activity of these targets in any direction reduces the pain or sensation of pain. Preferably the modulator is a strong binder to these targets, especially with a Kd of 1000nM or less or an IC50 of 1000 nM or less. Preferred lower values for Kd and IC50 are 800 nM or less, 600 nM or less, 500 nM or less, 400 nM or less, 300 nM or less, 200 nM or less, 100 nM or less, 50 nM or less or even 30 nM or less. 55 [0008] In particular preferred are FMO3 modulators or inhibitors for use in the treatment of pain. Such compounds are e.g. Tenofovir and Methimazole. [0009] In particular preferred are FRK modulators or inhibitors for use in the treatment of pain. Such compounds are 6 EP 2 674 161 A1 e.g. dasatinib, motesanib, Doramapimod, Pelitinib, sorafenib, Vandetanib and Canertinib. [0010] Preferably the inhibitor is selected from compounds with a Kd of lower than 3000 nM, preferably lower than 2000 nM, especially preferred lower than 1000 nM.
