Gene Information

human ... TRPV1(7442)

Application

Olvanil has been used as a vanilloid (VR1) receptors agonist in rat VR1-transfected human embryonic kidney cells (rVR1-HEK) and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells to test its effect on calcium levels.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Olvanil is a vanilloid receptor agonist. It is an analog of capsaicin and is non-pungent. It is an orally active analgesic that alleviates pain by desensitizing nociceptors.

We examined the effects of TRPV1 agonists olvanil and piperine on glutamatergic spontaneous excitatory transmission in the substantia gelatinosa (SG) neurons of adult rat spinal cord slices with the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Bath-applied olvanil did not affect the frequency and

Pungent transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV1) channel activators have been shown to have broad inhibitory anti-emetic activity against centrally- and peripherally acting challenges but only at doses that have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system and on temperature homeostasis. In

The endocannabinoid anandamide is an emerging potential signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system. Anandamide causes vasodilatation, bradycardia and hypotension in animals and has been implicated in the pathophysiology of endotoxic, haemorrhagic and cardiogenic shock, but its vascular effects have not

Anti-emetic drugs such as the tachykinin NK(1) receptor antagonists are useful to control emesis induced by diverse challenges. Evidence suggests pungent capsaicin-like TRPV1 activators also have broad inhibitory anti-emetic activity. However, pungent compounds are associated with undesirable effects including adverse

Anandamide, an endogenous lipid, activates both cannabinoid (CB(1)) and vanilloid (VR1) receptors, both of which are co-expressed in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells. Activation of either receptor results in analgesia but the relative contribution of CB(1) and VR1 in
