Dihydrocapsaicin, a capsaicin, is a potent and selective TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid channel 1) agonist. Dihydrocapsaicin reduces AIF, Bax, and Caspase-3 expressions, and increased Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and p-Akt levels. Dihydrocapsaicin enhances the hypothermia-induced neuroprotection following ischemic stroke via PI3K/Akt regulation in rat.

体外研究(In Vitro)
Dihydrocapsaicin (0-100 μM) inhibits platelet aggregation and the activity of clotting factors VIII:C (6.26-100 μM) and IX (25-100 μM).

体内研究(In Vivo)
Dihydrocapsaicin (0.5 mg/kg, IP, once) exhibits hypothermic effect and neuroprotection in rat MCAO models.

Animal Model:
Sprague-Dawley rats (adult, male, 300-340 g, subjected to right middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)
Dosage:
0.5 mg/kg
Administration:
IP, once
Result:
Exhibits hypothermic effect, rectal temperature dropped to approximately 35.0 ℃ at 30 min, stayed at equal or below 35.0 ℃ for approximately 20 min, and then gradually returned to approximately 36.5 ℃ at 120 min. Significantly reduced Ischemia-reperfusion induced infarct volume (36.2% ± 2.5%). Reduces ROS levels at 24 h, and reduced ischemia-reperfusion induced a high level of cell death.
