What is Optovin?

Description

Optovin (348575-88-2) is a reversible photoactive TRPA1 activator. Optovin stimulates human TRPA1 channels and enables repeated photoactivation of motor behaviors in wild-type zebrafish (EC50?= 2 μM) and mice,?in vivo. Photodetection is performed by sensory neurons expressing the TRPA1 cation channel which is activated via structure-dependent photochemical reactions with redox-sensitive cysteine residues.1

The Uses of Optovin

Optovin activates human TRPA1 via structure-dependent photochemistry.

Definition

ChEBI: Optovin is a member of the class of thiazolidinone that is rhodanine in which the two methylene hydrogens have been replaced by a 2,5-dimethyl-1-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]methylidene group. A TRPA1 ligand that can be reversibly photoactivated. It has a role as a TRPA1 channel agonist. It is a member of pyrroles, a member of pyridines, an olefinic compound and a thiazolidinone. It is functionally related to a rhodanine.
