The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Pharmacy and the Saint Louis University Department of Pharmacology and Physiology have won $974,024 in stimulus money to study new ways to relieve chronic pain.

William Neumann, an assistant professor of medicinal chemistry in the SIUE School of Pharmacy, and Daniela Salvemini, an associate professor of pharmacological and physiological science at the SLU School of Medicine, are the project’s principal researchers who will be studying how peroxynitrite, which is produced in the body in inflammatory settings, can actually cause chronic pain when the body produces too much of the chemical.

The two-year grant is being administered through the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal And Skin Diseases.
