Title:
MODULATORS OF ION CHANNEL TRPA1
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005089206
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
This invention provides methods for modulating activities of noxious ion channel TRPAI and methods for screening for novel modulators of TRPAI. Compounds such as bradykinin, eugenol, gingerol, methyl salicylate, allicin, and cinnamaldehyde can be employed to activate cold themosensor TRPAI. These TRPAI agonists can be used in screenings methods to activate TRPA1 and therefore identify novel TRPAI antagonists that can inhibit the activated TRPAI. These TRPAI agonists also provide chemical backbones to synthesize and identify analogs with improved biological or pharmaceutical properties. Further, novel TRPAI modulators can be identified by screening test agents for ability in modulating enzymatic activity or cellular level of phospholipase C.
