 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ability to control pain remains a major problem in medicine and society. According to the Institute of Medicine, chronic pain affects about 100 million American adults, more people than those affected by diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined. It has been estimated that the costs associated with pain in the USA exceeds $600 billion dollars per year, mainly due to medical treatment and lost productivity. While these expenditures are significant, the costs in terms of suffering and quality of life cannot be adequately calculated. Opioid analgesics, such as morphine and its analogs, have been the mainstay for treatment of pain for thousands of years, and currently represent the "gold-standard" for pain management. However, clinicians are conservative in prescribing, and patients are conservative in taking, opioids due to valid concerns about adverse effects as well as social and legal issues. As a result, pain is often undertreated, and patients continue to suffer. Endogenous peptides regulate activity within the central nervous system (CNS), and are particularly interesting for the treatment of pain, depression and anxiety. Unfortunately, the clinical usage of peptide-based agents is limited by poor physicochemical (PC) and pharmacokinetic (PK) properties, which restrict penetration into the CNS. Therefore, these peptide-based agents cannot be employed clinically for the treatment of pain. The present proposal aims to develop and employ a new fluorination strategy to rationally improve biophysical properties of peptide-based probes with insufficient drug-like properties, and to allow for these probes to enter the CNS.

 描述（由申请人提供）：控制疼痛的能力仍然是医学和社会的一个主要问题，据医学研究所称，慢性疼痛影响着大约 1 亿美国成年人，比患有糖尿病、心脏病和癌症的人数还要多。据估计，美国每年与疼痛相关的费用超过 6000 亿美元，主要是由于医疗和生产力损失造成的，虽然这些支出很大，但痛苦和生活质量方面的费用却无法弥补。充分计算。阿片类镇痛药，例如吗啡及其类似物，几千年来一直是治疗疼痛的中流砥柱，并且由于对不良反应以及社会和社会影响的有效关注，目前代表了疼痛管理的“黄金标准”。因此，疼痛常常得不到充分治疗，而内源性肽调节中枢神经系统 (CNS) 的活动，尤其如此。不幸的是，基于肽的药物的临床应用受到较差的物理化学（PC）和药代动力学（PK）特性的限制，这限制了这些基于肽的药物的渗透。本提案旨在开发和采用一种新的氟化策略，以合理地改善基于肽的探针的生物物理特性，但其类药特性不足，并允许其在临床上用于治疗疼痛。 让这些探针进入中枢神经系统。
