20086034 Earley S, Gonzales AL, Garcia ZI: A dietary agonist of transient receptor potential cation channel V3 elicits endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Mol Pharmacol. 2010 Apr;77(4):612-20. Epub 2010 Jan 19.

Carvacrol causes concentration-dependent increases in the intracellular [Ca (2+)] of native cerebral artery endothelial cells and is more potent (EC (50) = 34 microM) than the TRPA1 agonist allyl isothiocyanate (EC (50) = 400 microM) or the TRPV3 agonist eugenol (EC (50) = 2.3 mM).

Here we show that TRPV3 is strongly activated and sensitized by carvacrol, thymol and eugenol.

We also show that additional activators of TRPV3, thymol, eugenol, cinnamaldehyde and menthol are all inhibitors of the TRPL channel.
