Biochem/physiol Actions

Rinvanil is a Capsaicin analogue that potently activates transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channels. Rinvanil induces neuroprotective mild hypothermia in ischemic brain injured mice through TRPV1 activation. Rinvanil exhibits potent anticancer activity in cancer cell lines including cervical (HeLa, CaSKi, ViBo) and leukemia (P388, J774, WEHI-3) cell lines. Rinvanil is not cytotoxic to normal lymphocytes.
TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 1) is a capsaicin receptor. It is strongly expressed in sensory neurons and participates in pain perception. In brain, it regulates neuronal function, motor behaviour and neuroinflammation. Capsaicin plays an important role in the activation of TRPV1.

Currently there is no neuroprotective or neurorestorative therapy for Parkinson's disease. Here we report that transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) on astrocytes mediates endogenous production of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), which prevents the active degeneration of dopamine neurons and
