Identification of a Partial and Selective TRPV1 Agonist CPIPC for Alleviation of Inflammatory Pain.

ABSTRACT: Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a non-selective cation channel, predominantly expressed in a subset of peripheral sensory neurons for pain signaling. Topical application of agonist capsaicin for desensitizing TRPV1 currents has been approved for relief of chronic pain. However, the potent TRPV1 capsaicin is not ingestible and even topical capsaicin causes common side effects such as skin irritation, swelling, erythema and pruritus, suggesting that a mild TRPV1 agonist might be helpful for reducing side effects while reliving pain. In this study, we reported on a partial and selective TRPV1 agonist 4-(5-chloropyridin-2-yl)-N-(1H-indazol-6-yl)piperazine-1-carboxamide named CPIPC that was modified based on targeting the residue Arg557, important for co
