Merck, 12084-50MG-F, Capsaicin

Application
This analytical standard was used as follows:Determination of capsaicin in samples of chili pepper, black pepper powder, and chili pepper sauce by cyclic voltammetry using an office paper-based carbon black-screen printed electrode (CB-SPE)
Development of an electrochemical sensor based on Ag/Ag₂O-loaded poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) functionalized-reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite (Ag/Ag₂O-PSS-Rgo) to determine capsaicin in chili pepper samples
Multi-residue analysis of six capsaicinoids in green bell pepper samples using an online supercritical fluid extraction combined with reverse phase-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (RP-LC-MS/MS)
Evaluation of an immunoaffinity chromatography (IAC) based cleanup using polyclonal antibodies (pAb) for the determination of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin in different types of vegetable oil samples by LC-MS/MS
Thin layer chromatographic (TLC) separation and determination of capsaicin in ethanolic extracts of Capsicum annum Linn

Biochem/physiol Actions
Prototype vanilloid receptor agonist. Neurotoxin; activates sensory neurons that give rise to unmyelinated C-fibers, many of which contain substance P. Topical application desensitizes the sensory nerve endings giving a paradoxical antinociceptive effect; systemic administration can be neurotoxic to capsaicin-sensitive cells, especially in newborn animals. Active component of chili peppers.
Prototype vanilloid receptor agonist; neurotoxin. Active component of chili peppers.
