TRPV1 channel in the pathophysiology of epilepsy and its potential as a molecular target for the development of new antiseizure drug candidates. Prog Neurobiol 2024; 240:102634. [PMID: 38834133 DOI: 10.1016/j.pneurobio.2024.102634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
Identification of transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1), also known as capsaicin receptor, in 1997 was a milestone achievement in the research on temperature sensation and pain signalling. Very soon after it became evident that TRPV1 is implicated in a wide array of physiological processes in different peripheral tissues, as well as in the central nervous system, and thereby could be involved in the pathophysiology of numerous diseases. Increasing evidence suggests that modulation of TRPV1 may also affect seizure susceptibility and epilepsy. This channel is localized in brain regions associated with seizures and epilepsy, and its overexpression was found both in animal models of seizures and in brain samples from epileptic patients. Moreover, modulation of TRPV1 on non-neuronal cells (microglia, astrocytes, and/or peripheral immune cells) may have an impact on the neuroinflammatory processes that play a role in epilepsy and epileptogenesis. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive and critical overview of currently available data on TRPV1 as a possible molecular target for epilepsy management, trying to identify research gaps and future directions. Overall, several converging lines of evidence implicate TRPV1 channel as a potentially attractive target in epilepsy research but more studies are needed to exploit the possible role of TRPV1 in seizures/epilepsy and to evaluate the value of TRPV1 ligands as candidates for new antiseizure drugs.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a non-selective cation channel, which is considered a highly validated target for pain perception. Repeated activation with agonists to desensitize receptors or use the antagonists can both exert analgesic effects. In this work, two series of novel phenylpiperazine derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for the in vitro receptor inhibitory activity and in vivo analgesic activity. Among them, L-21 containing sulfonylurea group was identified with potent TRPV1 antagonistic activity and analgesic activity in various pain models. At the same time, L-21 exhibited low risk of hyperthermia side effect. These results indicated that L-21 is a promising candidate for further development of novel TRPV1 antagonist to treat pain.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channels are widely distributed in sensory nerve endings, the central nervous system, and other tissues, functioning as ion channel proteins responsive to thermal pain and chemical stimuli. In recent years, the TRPV1 receptor has garnered significant interest as a potential therapeutic approach for various pain-related disorders, particularly TRPV1 antagonists. The present review offers a comprehensive, systematic exploration of both first- and second-generation TRPV1 antagonists in the context of pain management. Antagonists are categorized and explicated according to their structural characteristics. Detailed examination of binding modes, structural features, and pharmacological activities, alongside a critical appraisal of the advantages and limitations inherent to typical compounds within each structural category, are undertaken. Detailed discussions of the binding modes, structural features, pharmacological activities, advantages, and limitations of typical compounds within each structural category offer valuable insights and guidance for the future research and development of safer, more effective, and more targeted TRPV1 antagonists.

Bioorg Chem 2021; 115:105229. [PMID: 34364049 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2021.105229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2021] [Revised: 07/21/2021] [Accepted: 07/28/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a non-selective cation channel with high permeability to Ca2+, which can be activated by low pH, noxious heat and vanilloid compounds such as capsaicin. TRPV1 has been proved to be very important in the process of pain production and is considered to be a highly effective analgesic target. In this work, three series of new piperazine urea TRPV1 antagonists were designed, synthesized and evaluated based on classical TRPV1 antagonists BCTC and GRT12360. Among them, N-(4,6-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)-4-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)benzyl)piperazine-1-carboxamide (5ac) was finally identified, which had excellent TRPV1 antagonistic activity (IC50 (CAP) = 9.80 nM), good bioavailability and did not cause side effects of hyperthermia. In the study of molecular docking, the compound 5ac fitted well with the amino acid residues on rTRPV1 through hydrophobic interaction. Collectively, compound 5ac is an efficient TRPV1 antagonist and can be used as a candidate for the development of analgesic drugs.
