To answer my own question, I'm pretty certain that it is not "the" target. I don't yet know anything about the breadth of the Allergan collaboration, however.

Here's the website's description of the program.....

In collaboration with Allergan, we have discovered and are developing a new class of small molecule drug candidates that we believe may represent a significant breakthrough in the treatment of neuropathic pain. Our novel and selective alpha adrenergic agonists provide highly effective pain relief in a wide range of preclinical models, without the side effects of current pain therapies, including gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and respiratory effects, as well as sedation. Allergan has demonstrated that our drug candidates are highly potent and efficacious when administered orally in relevant animal models and are more efficacious than Neurontin in preclinical models at 300-to-1,000 fold lower doses. Based on the compelling preclinical profile of our drug candidates, we believe that these drug candidates may represent a new class of highly effective and safe therapeutics for neuropathic pain.
