Capsaicin is a TRPV1 receptor agonist that activates non-selective cation channels in sensory neurons. It induces the release of substance P and modulates pain signaling pathways. Capsaicin has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in models of cerebral ischemia and is used to study peripheral and central nociceptive mechanisms. Its reversible inhibition of platelet aggregation also suggests vascular implications in neurodegeneration.
Classification: Toxic. May be harmful or fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin.

Need this compound in a format that drops straight into your assay? We can tailor formulation, chemistry, and documentation so your results stay consistent across runs and re-orders.
- Format options: solid or pre-dissolved solution (choose solvent), target concentration, aliquots, light/moisture-protected packaging
- Chemistry options: free base/acid vs salt forms, hydrate/solvate preference, stereoisomer control (single enantiomer or racemate), close analogs
- Add-on labels & handles: D/¹³C/¹⁵N isotopes (LC-MS/internal standards), azide/alkyne or other functional handles for conjugation
- QC & documentation: standard COA or enhanced analytical pack (HPLC/LC-MS/NMR), chiral purity, residual solvents, water content (KF), method-specific specs
- Scale & continuity: mg to gram scale, bulk pricing, lot reservation, repeat-order continuity
To quote quickly, tell us: compound name + CAS/structure (SMILES or mol file), intended assay context, solvent preference, salt/stereochemistry requirements, purity/QC level, and the amount (mg–g).
