This research explores the directed ortho metalation (DoM) of naphthalene 1,8-bis(diethylamide) focusing on inhibitors for nerve growth factor (NGF), which plays a significant role in neuronal development and is implicated in conditions like Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, and chronic pain. By investigating the synthesis of NGF inhibitors through DoM, our work aims to contribute to pain management therapies. The study includes examples of metalation reactions and highlights the potential of these compounds in alleviating pain by effectively inhibiting NGF.

Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) • Involved with the neuronal development in the Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System. • Nerve Growth Factor is implicated in Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, stroke and pain. • Production of protein is stimulated in patients suffering from Arthritis pain. • Inhibition of NGF causes reduction in pain levels.
