Bioactivity | 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[1][2][3]. |
Invitro | Dihydrocapsaicin (0-100 μM) inhibits platelet aggregation and the activity of clotting factors VIII:C (6.26-100 μM) and IX (25-100 μM)[3]. |
