Abstract
The present invention relates to new compounds of formula (I) that show great affinity and activity towards the subunit α2δ of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC), especially the α2δ-1 subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels or dual activity towards the subunit α2δ of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC), especially the α2δ-1 subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels, and the noradrenaline transporter (NET). The invention is also related to the process for the preparation of said compounds as well as to compositions comprising them, and to their use as medicaments.
