Description

Application

Dihydrocapsaicin has been used:

• as a standard to analyze the level of dihydrocapsaicin in endogenous An2 and capsaicin synthase silenced fruits
• as an external standard to determine the variability in capsaicinoid content in different landraces of capsicum
• in the activation or ablation of capsaicin-sensitive primary afferents (CSPA) fibres

Biochem/physiol Actions

Dihydrocapsaicin/8-methyl-N-vanillylnonanamide; N-[−4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl] 8-methylnonanamide (DHC) is an active component of capsaicinoids in chili peppers. DHC is capable of reducing body temperature. Hence it is considered as a pharmaceutical-induced hypothermia (PIH) candidate to treat cardiac arrest (CA) patients. It may possess anti-cancer, anti-inflammation, antioxidant, anti-obesity properties. DHC might help in the reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation in ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. DHC can repress nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) signaling pathway.
