    Product Description

    Capsiconiate is a coniferyl ester that has been isolated from certain plants in the Solanaceae family, including plants in the genus Capsicum.1 It is structurally related to capsaicin (Item No. 92350), the primary heat- and pain-eliciting compound from the Capsicum pepper.2 Like capsaicin, capsiconiate is an agonist of the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor TRPV1 (EC50 = 3.2 µM).1 However, the maximum response induced by capsiconiate through TRPV1 is only 20% of that of capsaicin, indicating that it’s a partial agonist of TRPV1.1

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
