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.

The endocannabinoid-inactivating enzyme, fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), and the transient receptor potential vanilloid type-1 (TRPV1) channel are new targets for the development of anxiolytic drugs. We studied the effect on anxiety-like behavior in the elevated plus maze of a

The structural similarities between the anandamide transport inhibitor N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-arachidonylamide (AM404) and the synthetic vanilloid agonist olvanil [(N-vanillyl)-9-oleamide], prompted us to investigate the possibility that olvanil may interfere with anandamide transport. The intracellular accumulation of [3H]anandamide by human astrocytoma cells was

Capsaicin (Cap) and its analogs (CAPanalogs) have diverse effects in sensory neurons including analgesia, implying they modulate other cellular targets besides the TRPV1 Cap receptor. Since Cap and CAPanalogs are not largely available and their chemical synthesis is cumbersome, they

Certain fatty acid amides such as anandamide (AEA) and olvanil are agonists for the transient receptor potential, vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) receptor, but have been found to activate TRPV1-containing C-fibers in some tissues but not others. We used extracellular recording and whole-cell

The transient receptor potential vanilloid channel 1 (TRPV1) is a nociceptive transducer located on nociceptive neurons. TRPV1 channels located on peripheral neurons mainly transduce the sense of heat and are also activated by low pH or capsaicin. The role of
