However, we kept in mind that within the previous series, a pair of closely related compounds, KSK67 and KSK68, differing only in the piperazine/piperidine moiety in the structural core showed a significantly different affinity at sigma-1 receptors (σ1Rs). Therefore, we first focused on an in-depth analysis of the protonation states of piperazine and piperidine derivatives in the studied compounds. In a series of 16 new ligands, mainly based on the piperidine core, we selected three lead structures (3, 7, and 12) for further biological evaluation. Compound 12 showed a broad spectrum of analgesic activity in both nociceptive and neuropathic pain models based on the novel molecular mechanism.}, publisher = {ACS Publications}, title = {Dual Piperidine-Based Histamine H3 and Sigma-1 Receptor Ligands in the Treatment of Nociceptive and Neuropathic Pain}, doi = {10.1021/acs.jmedchem.3c00430}, author = {Szczepanska, Katarzyna and Ruiz Cantero, María del Carmen and Cobos del Moral, Enrique José}, }
