a 784168 is a potent antagonist of trpv1 receptor with pki value of 7.15 [1].the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily v member 1 (trpv1) receptor is a nonselective cation channel and distributes throughout the nervous system. trpv1 receptor is activated by a wide variety of physical and chemical stimuli [1].a 784168 is a potent trpv1 receptor antagonist with pki value of 7.15 for recombinant htrpv1 receptor. in the ca2+ flux assay, a 784168 inhibited 50 nm cap-induced calcium flux with pic50 value of 7.13 of the recombinant htrpv1 receptor [1]. a 784168 inhibited trpv1 activation by 50 nm capsaicin, ph 5.5, 3 μm nada and 10 μm anandamide with ic50 values of 25, 14, 33.7, 35.1 nm, respectively. in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons, a 784168 inhibited 1 μm capsaicin-induced currents with ic50 value of 10 nm [2].in cfa-induced thermal hyperalgesia, a-784168 (30 μm/kg) reduced capsaicin-induced nocifensive behaviors with ed50 value of 10 μm/kg [2]. in rats, a 784168 inhibited 1% formalin-induced secondary mechanical hyperalgesia and allodynia in the contralateral and ipsilateral paws [3].
