Experimental/Results
Synthetic capsaicin as TPRV1 agonists
Effects of Phenylcapsaicin on TRPV1 Stably Expressed HEK293 cells using FLIPR:
The objective of this study was to test the effects Phenylcapsaicin on HEK293 cell line and TRPV1 (Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1) stably expressed cell line using FLIPR. In brief, TRPV1 cells were grown in a 384 well plate and loaded with Calcium 5, a fluorescent probe that reports changes in intracellular calcium. TRPV1 channel activity was assayed by measuring a baseline signal followed by application of TRPVl channel activator (agonist). Influx of calcium through TRPVl channels was detected as a rise in cytoplasmic calcium, which was reported as an increase in fluorescence.
HEK293 cells stably expressing the human TRPVl channel which under control of the T- REx promoter and induced with tetracycline and HEK293 parental cells were cultured in a humidified and air-controlled (5% C02) incubator at 37 °C. Culture media were as following:
Figure imgf000006_0001
pH is adjusted with 1M NaOH to pH7.4
Phenylcapsaicin were weighed and dissolved in DMSO as shown in below table:
Figure imgf000006_0002
Phenylcapsaicin (30mM stock) was diluted further into 6mM stock.
Cell preparation was initiated 1 day before the FLIPR experiment.
1. Passage cells when they were at approximately 80- 90% confluence.
2. Re-suspend pellet in lOmls of warm media, count cells and adjust to the appropriate concentration (5xl05/ml for TRPV1 and 4xl05/ml for HEK293) using warm media .
3. Induce channel expression: add tetracycline to the TRPV1 cell suspension to a final concentration of lug/ml in order to induce expression of the channel.
4. Plate out cells at 50ul/well in 384 well cell plates as shown below and incubate overnight in a humidified and air-controlled (5% C02) incubator at 37 °C.
Loading dye:
1. On the day of the assay, prepare loading buffer using Assay buffer according to the kit manual.
2. Remove media from cells by inversion the cell plate and centrifuge.
3. Add 30ul of loading dye per well to the cell plate.
4. Allow the cells to be incubated with dye for 1 hour in the dark at room temperature. Compound plate preparation:
The compound was diluted into DMSO and made stock solution of 6 mM. The stock solution were further diluted in DMSO in 3 fold series to make sub-stock solutions.
Immediately prior to running the assay, the stock and sub-stock solutions were diluted into assay buffer to achieve 3 x final concentration for testing in compound plate. There were total 11 concentrations tested. The top test concentrations on cells were 10 uM, the final DMSO concentration on cells was 0.13%. Meanwhile, 0.13% DMSO was used as negative control.
FLIPR reading:
1. After 1 hour loading, cell plate and compound plate were mounted to FLIPR for reading. Protocol details were as below:
Excitation wavelength (nm): 470-495 Emission Wavelength (nm): 515-575 Baseline read: samples 1-10 (Is a read)
Test compound addition after sample 10: 15μ1 compounds were added to 30μ1 cell plate giving 1:3 dilution
Post test-compound read: samples l l-180 (ls a read for samples 11-60, 2s a read for samples 61-180)
2. Data was automatically captured at the end of FLIPR experiment. The peak value of fluorescence signal (the maximum value) was used for data export after ' Subtract bias based on sample for further data analysis.
Data were analyzed using Excel 2007 and GraphPad Prism.
Results
The data of top concentration and DMSO control was used for z factor and S/N
calculation.

Dose response curves
Conclusions
1. Three data points were excluded and not used for data analysis which didn't affect the results.
2. Good z factors were achieved for Phenylcapsaicin on TRPV1 cells.
3. Phenylcapsaicin had potent agonist effect on TRPV1 cells. 4. The EC50 of Phenylcapsaicin on TRPV1 was 57.81 nM.
5. Phenylcapsaicin had no effect on HEK293 cells.
Toxicity studies
Comparative toxicity data between capsaicin and phenylcapsaicin:
Capsaicin and Phenylcapsaicin are rapidly absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract and almost completely metabolized. The major route of excretion was biliary excretion and therefore, in the mass balance study, the majority of metabolites were detected in feces. Although the low recovery lowers the reliability of the study, derivation of reference values is still possible when considering a correction factor for systemic exposure. The metabolic pathways identified for Capsaicin and Phenylcapsaicin are identical, although the major metabolite is glucuronidated and oxidated for Phenylcapsaicin while the major metabolite of capsaicin is just glucuronidated. Tissue accumulation is unlikely to occur for both substances. In conclusion, the data support the read-across from capsaicin to close data gaps of phenylcapsaicin.
Figure imgf000009_0001
The 14C located on the carbonyl group could easily be lost from the fatty acid chain and transferred to 14C-acetyl coenzyme A upon hydrolysis of the amide linkage, which means the radioactivity generated from 14C could be transferred to numerous endogenous substances. The author of the study concluded that therefore un-assigned radioactive peaks on the radiochromatograms are most likely endogenous substances which acquired their radioactivity from the biochemical metabolism of 14Clabeled fatty acid chain. Such metabolism of 14C-labeled fatty acid chain could also explain the low recovery in the mass balance studies, as the biochemical product of fatty acid chain could either be numerous 14C -endogenous substances which are finally exhaled as 14C02. Low radioactivity in carcasses at the end of the study support thatl4C -phenyl-capsaicin and 14C-capsaicin was biotransformed to other 14C-labeled volatile organic compounds in multiple steps and these metabolites were gradually released as expired air via the lung. If needed correction of the internal reference values (AEL) using the total recovery (50%) seems to be valid as the majority of metabolites are excreted in bile. Only 2-3% parent were detected in bile. Thus systemic availablity of the a.s. is likely. A complete absorption of Capsaicin was also postulated by
Donnerer et al. 1990. Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Arch. Pharmacol., 342, 357-361)

The test item 0,5 mL was applied to the a gauze patch, then cover the gauze patch on a small area (approximately 6 cm2) of skin, which is held in place with non-irritating tape. The test item is non-irritationg to the rabbits skin within an observation period of up to 14 days starting after an exposure time of 4 hours.
Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion - QECD 405:
0,1 ml of the test item was placed in the conjunctival sac of one eye of rabbit. The test substance is slightly irritant to the rabbit eye within an observation period of up to 7 days without washout after the test substance was placed in the conjunctival sac of one eye.
Acute Inhalation Tox - QECD 403, 2009:
Under the condtions of this study the single exposure acute inhalation LC50 of
phenylcapsaicin is not greater than 5.65 mg/L in male and female rats based on active substance.
Skin Sensitisation - QECD 406, 1992:
All animals survived throughout the test period without showing any clinical signs of toxicity. Under the conditions of the present study it can be stated that the test item
Phenylcapsaicin caused no reactions identified as sensitisation at the tested concentration. According to Commission Regulation (EU) No. 286/2011 as well as GHS (Globally Harmonized Classification System) the test item Phenylcapsaicin has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin sensitisation and is unclassified.
Reverse Mutation Assay - QECD 471, 1997:
In conclusion, it can be stated that during the described mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, Phenylcapsaicin did not cause gene mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the tester strains used. Therefore, Phenylcapsaicin is considered to be non-muytagenic in this bacterial reverse mutation assay.
