Experimental Approach
We developed and applied a novel molecular dynamics approach to identify the Cav2.2 recognition motif of the core CBD3 peptide as the A1R2 dipeptide and used its presenting motif to design pharmacophore models to screen 27 million compounds in the open access server ZincPharmer. Of 200 curated hits, 77 compounds were assessed using depolarization‐evoked calcium influx in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. Nine compounds were tested using electrophysiology and one compound (CBD3063) was evaluated biochemically, electrophysiologically, and behaviorally effects in a model of experimental pain:
