The present invention pertains generally to the field of coolants and medical therapy. More particularly, the present invention relates to certain anti-nociceptive agents, such as [((1R,2S,5f?)-2-isopropyl-5-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-amino]-acetic acid isopropyl ester, that are potent and long-acting and selectively cooling for non-keratinized epithelial tissues as compared to keratinized epithelial tissues, and are useful, for example, for the treatment of (e.g., the alleviation of symptoms of; the amelioration of) sensory discomfort of non-keratinized stratified epithelial (NKSE) tissue; and so for treatment of: sensory discomfort of an ocular surface, an eyelid, a margin of an eyelid, an anterior part of an eyeball, a conjunctiva, a lachrymal system, a pre-corneal film, or a cornea, a lining of the oral cavity, an internal portion of the lips, a pharyngeal surface, an esophageal surface, or an anogenital surface; eye discomfort, e.g., caused by extended wear of contact lenses, by eye strain and/or fatigue, by air pollutants, by excessive exposure to the sun, by conjunctivitis, by dry eye syndrome; sensory discomfort associated with oral mucositis; airway (e.g., larynx, trachea, and/or bronchi) tightness, discomfort in the airways (e.g., larynx, trachea, and/or bronchi), choking, cough, and/or dyspnea, e.g., associated with asthma and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). |
