The University of Kentucky Research Foundation received a $355,514 Project Grant award from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (CFDA 93.213 - Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health) on September 17, 2024. The grant funds a collaborative research project to isolate and evaluate bioactive compounds from Cameroonian plant extracts for their potential as novel, non-opioid analgesics targeting calcium homeostasis mechanisms, with a focus on the sigma 2 (S-2) receptor. The project involves in vitro screening, compound fractionation, and additional validation conducted by researchers at the University of Dschang in Cameroon, the University of Texas at Dallas, and the University of Kentucky. This interdisciplinary, international initiative also aims to build research and clinical capacity for pain studies in Cameroon and surrounding countries through training, instrumentation, and local workshops.
