hNav1.7 small molecular inhibitors have attracted lots of attention by its unique analgesic effect. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a novel series of tetrahydropyridine analogs as hNav1.7 inhibitors for analgesia. Detail structural-activity relationship (SAR) studies were undertaken towards improving hNav1.7 activity, in vitro ADME, and in vivo PK profiles. These efforts resulted in the identification of compound (-)-15h, a highly potent and selective hNav1.7 inhibitor with good ADME and PK profiles. Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
