Cayman Capsiate

Capsiate is a non-pungent analog of capsaicin (Item Nos. 92350 | 10010743) that has been found in C. annuum and has diverse biological activities.^1,2,3,4 It inhibits Src in, as well as VEGF-induced proliferation of and tube formation by, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) when used at concentrations ranging from 5 to 25 µM.¹ Capsiate activates transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) in HEK293 cells expressing the human channel (EC₅₀ = 290 nM) and induces licking and biting behaviors, markers of nociception, in mice.² Topical application of capsiate reduces antigen-induced increases in ear thickness in a mouse model of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis and decreases epidermal thickness and eosinophil and mast cell infiltration in a mouse model of atopic dermatitis.³ Capsiate (10 mg/kg) decreases body weight gain and perirenal fat weight, as well as increases oxygen consumption, fat oxidation, and carbohydrate oxidation, in a mouse model of ad libitum feeding-induced weight gain.⁴
