“The discovery … as RTX , appears to give … shortcomings of capsaicin : (1) [ 3 H]RTX binding has proved the existence of the predicted vanilloid receptor and provides a promising opportunity for … the pharmacology of the receptor for the isolation of the receptor and for the detection of putative endogenous analogs.

“ Capsaicin , anandamide, resiniferatoxin and olvanil mediated increases in [Ca2+]i were inhibited by the TRPV1 antagonists capsazepine and iodo‐resiniferatoxin with potencies (KB) of ∼70 nmol/L and 2 nmol/L, respectively.”

“Moreover, nociception induced by either capsaicin or AITC was reduced by the desensitisation of TRPV1-positive sensory fibres with resiniferatoxin (73 ± 18 and 76 ± 15% inhibitions, respectively) and by the NK1 receptor antagonist aprepitant (56 ± 5 and 53 ± 8% inhibitions, respectively).”

“In rat cornea, a single application of RTX dose dependently eliminated or reduced the capsaicin eye wipe response for 3–5 days, with normal nociceptive responses returning by 5–7 days.”
“ RTX activity could be blocked by capsazepine or SB-366791, a TRPV1 antagonist, but not tetrodotoxin, a Na(+)-channel blocker, and could be inhibited by pretreatment with capsaicin but not the TRPA1 agonist, allyl isothiocyanate.”
“ I-RTX , at a dose inactive per se, blocked the effect of capsaicin , and inhibited glutamate release at a higher dose.”
“Intra-VL-PAG injection of capsaicin increased the threshold of thermal pain sensitivity, whereas the selective TRPV1 antagonist 5′-iodo-resiniferatoxin (I-RTX) facilitated nociceptive responses, and blocked capsaicin analgesic effect at a dose inactive per se.”
