Patent number: 9956232Abstract: Heat abstraction from the body's surfaces causes sensations of cold from the skin, orbit, nose, mouth, throat, upper esophagus, airways, and anogenital surfaces. The detection of heat abstraction at these sites is via TRPM8, a neuronal protein linked to nerve membranes. Chemical agents that act on TRPM8 can also produce sensations of cold, but the surface of the lower gastrointestinal tract (LGIT) does not “feel cold”, yet it contains cells with TRPM8. The pharmacology of TRPM8 in the LGIT is an unexplored subject. Menthol has a relaxant effect on gut smooth muscle, but this action is not via TRPM8. Here, a class of selective TRPM8 agonists, called 1-Dialkyl-phosphinoyl-alkanes (Dapa) were synthesized, and the potency and selectivity on TRP channels were characterized. Certain Dapa molecules were shown to inhibit neural signals in isolated vagus nerve and to exert anti-inflammatory effects in a model of heat-injury.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2016Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Inventor: Edward Tak Wei
