JNJ-17203212 is a novel and selective TRPV1 antagonist, with IC50 of 65 nM and 102 nM for human TRPV1 and rat TRPV1.IC50 value: 65 nM (human TRPV1), 102 nM (rat TRPV1)Target: TRPVin vivo: JNJ-17203212 reduces sensitivity to luminal distension in both an acute, noninflammatory and a chronic, post-inflammatory rodent model of colonic hypersensitivity. Throughout this study, colonic sensitivity was assessed via quantification of VMR to CRD in rats following a single, oral administration of JNJ-17203212 (3, 10 or 30 mg/kg) or vehicle. [1] Oral pretreatment with JNJ-17203212 is a novel and selective TRPV1 antagonist, with partially prevents core hypothermia evoked by sc capsaicin. Oral pretreatment with JNJ-17203212 is a novel and selective TRPV1 antagonist, with partially prevents capsaicin-evoked hypothermia in a dose-response manner. [2]
