Capsaicin History

The molecule of capsaicin was first isolated in crystalline form in 1816 by P. A. Bucholz and again 30 years later by L.T. Thresh, who gave it the name "capsaicin". In 1878, the Hungarian doctor Endre Hogyes  isolated it and proved that it not only caused the burning feeling when in contact with mucous membranes but also increased secretion of gastric juice. Capsaicin was first synthesized in 1930 by E. Spath and S. F. Darling.

Capsaicin Uses

 Capsaicin (CAS NO.404-86-4) is used as a tool in neurobiological research. Prototype vanilloid receptor agonist. Topical analgesic.
