Chronic pain from damage to the nervous system is extremely debilitating and notoriously difficult to treat. The current drug of choice, gabapentin, has serious side effects and only works in two-thirds of patients. We have developed a drug, derived from sea snail venom, that exhibits ten times the activity of gabapentin. This proposal seeks to progress our drug to clinical trials and attract a commercial partner for its development into the market.

神经系统损伤引起的慢性疼痛会使人极度虚弱，而且非常难以治疗。目前的首选药物加巴喷丁具有严重的副作用，并且仅对三分之二的患者有效。我们开发了一种从海蜗牛毒液中提取的药物，其活性是加巴喷丁的十倍。该提案旨在将我们的药物推进临床试验，并吸引商业合作伙伴将其开发到市场。
