Understanding the Mechanism of Action of NAI-112, a Lanthipeptide with Potent Antinociceptive Activity
NAI-112, a glycosylated, labionine-containing lanthipeptide with weak antibacterial activity, has demonstrated analgesic activity in relevant mouse models of nociceptive and neuropathic pain. However, the mechanism(s) through which NAI-112 exerts its analgesic and antibacterial activities is not kno...
