Introduction TRPA1 is a non-selective cation channel predominantly expressed in sensory neurons, and functions as an irritant sensor for a plethora of noxious external stimuli and endogenous ligands. Due to its involvement in pain, itch, and respiratory syndromes, TRPA1 has been pursued as a promising drug target. Areas covered In this review, the small molecule patent literature of TRPA1 antagonists from 2015-2019 was surveyed. The patent applications are described with a focus on chemical structures, biochemical/pharmacological activities, and potential clinical applications. The development of TRPA1 antagonists in clinical trials has been highlighted. Expert opinion During 2015-2019, significant progress was made toward the discovery of new TRPA1 antagonists. A total of 14 organizations published 28 patent applications disclosing several distinct classes of chemical matter and potential uses. During this period, three new molecules entered the clinic (ODM-108, HX-100, and GDC-0334) bringing the total number of TRPA1 antagonists to reach clinical trials to five (including earlier molecules CB-625 and GRC 17536); however, to our knowledge, development of all five molecules have been discontinued. Further clinical trials of recent TRPA1 antagonists with good pharmacokinetics would be needed to help understand TRPA1 involvement in human diseases and its potential as a therapeutic target.
