title = "Discovery of orally bioavailable cathepsin S inhibitors for the reversal of neuropathic pain",
abstract = "Cathepsin S inhibitors are well-known to be an attractive target as immunological therapeutic agents. Recently, our gene expression analysis identified that cathepsin S inhibitors could also be effective for neuropathic pain. Herein, we describe the efficacy of selective cathepsin S inhibitors as antihyperalgesics in a model of neuropathic pain in rats after oral administration. {\textcopyright} 2008 American Chemical Society.",
