Bioactivity | SB-366791 is a potent and selective vanilloid receptor (VR1/TRPV1) antagonist (IC50=5.7 nM). SB-366791 can be used for the research of inflammation[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | SB-366791 (30 μM) inhibits the frequency of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs). SB-366791 (30 μM) reduces the frequency of spontaneous EPSCs in the spinal cord slices from FCA-treated rats. SB-366791(30 μM) inhibits the amplitude of C-fibre evoked EPSCs. SB-366791 has also been used in vivo to assess the potential analgesic action of the inhibition of TRPV1, and significantly inhibits capsaicin-induced hypothermia, eye wiping movements and vasodilatation in the knee joint. SB-366791 inhibits glutamatergic transmission via an apparently pre-synaptic mechanism(s)[1]. | ||||||||||||
