Abstract

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) has emerged as a promising therapeutic target. While radiolabeled resiniferatoxin (RTX) has provided a powerful tool for characterization of vanilloid binding to TRPV1, TRPV1 shows 20-fold weaker binding to the human TRPV1 than to the rodent TRPV1. We now describe a tritium radiolabeled synthetic vanilloid antagonist, 1-((2-(4-(methyl-[3H])piperidin-1-yl-4-[3H])-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)methyl)-3-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-8-yl)urea ([3H]MPOU), that embodies improved absolute affinity for human TRPV1 and improved synthetic accessibility.
