Description
  • Offensive principle of the so-called "headache tree".
  • Causes a painful cold sensation.
  • Selective TRPA1 activator. Weak TRPM8 activator.
  • Releases CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) after TRPA1 activation which leads to activation of trigeminovascular pathways and CGRP-mediated neurogenic vasodilatation relevant to produce headache/migraine.
