  • Recently. we have reported that several lipoxygenases products directly activate the capsaicin-activated channel as intracellular messengers in neuron. In particular, 12-(S)-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid turned out to be the most potent endogenous VR activator. This finding prompted us to search for a novel non-vaniloid VR agonists and antagonists. We have designed and synthesized a series of non-vanilloid VR binding ligands based on the structural simllarity between 12-HPETE and capsaicin, the natural VR agonist. Our recent studies on the development of selective vanilloid receptor agonists and antagonists will be presented.
