Abstract

The activation of P2Y receptor (P2YR) promotes osteoclast formation and causes neuropathic pain, exhibiting possible link to osteoarthritis (OA). Given lack of P2YR antagonist, the present study aims to search a novel P2YR antagonist with low toxicity and high activity from natural products as a possible drug candidate in treatment of OA.
