Abstract

Abstract A new series of 2-(benzyloxy) benzamides are presented that are potent functional antagonists of TRPM8 and possess improved LipE and LE compared to the original lead. They were discovered through a series of compound libraries and we present a powerful visualization method for the chemical space explored with each library. Remarkably this new series originated from the highest risk design strategy where compounds were ...
