Lipid Nanoparticle Inclusion Prevents Capsaicin-Induced TRPV1 Defunctionalization
Background: Capsaicin (CPS) is a highly selective agonist of the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) with a nanomolar affinity. High doses or prolonged exposure to CPS induces TRPV1 defunctionalization and, although this effect is currently used for the treatment of thermal hyperal...
