HONOLULU, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Results of a pre-clinical study of leconotide, an investigative calcium channel blocker, shows it has the potential to be safe, selective, and efficacious as a new non-opioid treatment for pain relief. It also holds promise in multiple drug delivery options including nasal spray, transdermal patch, and pills. Data were presented today at the American Academy of Pain Medicine's 25th Annual Meeting.

In the study, leconotide, when given intravenously to treat neuropathic pain, was selective for calcium channels involved with pain and ...
