The present application relates to compositions which modulate the activity of gated ion channels. This provide an effect in the treatment of pain, inflammatory disorders and neurological disorders. Preferred compounds include quinine or quinidine derivatives with the hydroxyl at the nine position being esterified with an aliphatic carboxylic acid, optionally bearing an additional cycloalkyl ring on the chain. The gated ion channels modulated include homomultimeric and heteromultimeric gates. |
