Description and Uses

Capsaicin has a mild, warm-herbaceous odor and a burning pungent taste (at 10 ppm). It is used in compounded flavors for sauces where the pungent note is desired. This substance is present in several species of Capsicum (Family, Solanaceae). The sensation of pain, accompanied by irritation and inflammation, is due to substance P depletion from sensory (afferent) nerve fibers. These properties are used to study the physiology of pain and the effects as a counterirritant and gastrointestinal stimulant. This substance may be prepared from 3-chloro-2-isopropyltetrahydropyran; biosynthesis from Capsicum frutescens; separation form cis-capsaicin, pelargonic acid vanilamide, and dihydrocapsaicin, reaction of capsaicin.

analgesic (topical), depletes Substance P, neurotoxic
