Background:

Capsazepine is a competitive antagonist of vanilloid (capsaicin) receptor with IC50 value of 562 nM.[1]

Capsazepine is a synthetic analogue of capsaicin, which activates the TRPV1 ion channel, thereby, blocks the painful sensation of heat caused by capsaicin. Capsazepine blocked voltage-activated calcium currents in adult rat dorsal root ganglion neurons with EC50 value of 7.7±1.4 μM.[2] Capsazepine was also able to block the response of TRPM8 to menthol (IC50=18±1.1 μM).[3] Capsazepine also inhibited nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in rat trigeminal ganglia at 10μM.[4] In human colon cancer cells, capsazepine treatment activated caspase -8, –9, and -3, induced death receptors (DRs) DR5 and DR4, then sensitized the cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis.[5] Capsazepine is thought to be a tool to study the TRPV1 ion channel.
