Conflict of interest statement

The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest. For full disclosure, however, one author (PG) is a co-inventor on patents related to the development of alkylphenols for the treatment of neuropathic pain and serves on the Scientific Advisory Board for Akelos, Inc., a research-based biotechnology company that has secured a licensing agreement for the use of those patents.
