“…Various lipids from the fatty acid pool have also been identified as TRPV1 activators. These compounds can be divided into conjugates of biogenic amines [e.g., N-arachidonylethanolamine (AEA,anandamide,2a), 3a), 2b), N-arachidonolylserine, and various N-acyltaurines and N-acylsalsolinols] (Appendino et al, 2008) and oxygenated eicosatetraenoic acids (Ahern, 2003;Wang et al, 2005) like the lipoxygenase products 5-, 12-, and 15-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acids (5S-, 12S-, 15S-HPETE, 4a-6a) (Hwang et al, 2000), their reduced hydroxylic analogs (4b-6b), prostaglandins, and leukotriene B 4 (Huang et al, 2002). In addition, adenosine, ATP, and polyamines (such as spermine, spermidine, and putrescine) activate TRPV1, as well as acidic conditions, pH Ͻ5.9, like those observed during inflammation (Szallasi and Di Marzo, 2004;McNamara et al, 2005;Xu et al, 2005;Ahern et al, 2006;Alexander et al, 2006;Siemens et al, 2006).…”
