Highly Efficient Real-Time TRPV1 Screening Methodology for Effective Drug Candidates.

ABSTRACT: Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) agonists that bind to the vanilloid pocket are being actively studied in the pharmaceutical industry to develop novel treatments for chronic pain and cancer. To discover synthetic vanilloids without the side effect of capsaicin, a time-consuming process of drug candidate selection is essential to a myriad of chemical compounds. Herein, we propose a novel approach to field-effect transistors for the fast and facile screening of lead vanilloid compounds for the development of TRPV1-targeting medications. The graphene field-effect transistor was fabricated with human TRPV1 receptor protein as the bioprobe, and various analyses (SEM, Raman, and FT-IR) were utilized to verify successful manufacture. Simulations of TRPV1 with capsaicin, olvanil, a
