A series of thirty-three thymol, p-cymene-3-carboxylic acid, and 3-amino-p-cymene derivatives was synthesized and tested on TRPA1, TRPM8, and TRPV3 channels. Most of them acted as strong modulators of TRPA1, TRPM8, and TRPV3 channels with EC(50) and/or IC(50) values distinctly lower than those of thymol and related monoterpenoids. Some of the compounds examined, that is, 3c, 4e, f, 6b, and 8b exhibited an appreciable subtype-selectivity.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013943 Thymol A phenol obtained from thyme oil or other volatile oils used as a stabilizer in pharmaceutical preparations, and as an antiseptic (antibacterial or antifungal) agent. 2-Isopropyl-5-Methyl-Phenol,2-Isopropyl-5-Methylphenol,Phenol, 5-methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-,Apiguard,2 Isopropyl 5 Methyl Phenol,2 Isopropyl 5 Methylphenol
D050051 Transient Receptor Potential Channels A broad group of eukaryotic six-transmembrane cation channels that are classified by sequence homology because their functional involvement with SENSATION is varied. They have only weak voltage sensitivity and ion selectivity. They are named after a DROSOPHILA mutant that displayed transient receptor potentials in response to light. A 25-amino-acid motif containing a TRP box (EWKFAR) just C-terminal to S6 is found in TRPC, TRPV and TRPM subgroups. ANKYRIN REPEATS are found in TRPC, TRPV & TRPN subgroups. Some are functionally associated with TYROSINE KINASE or TYPE C PHOSPHOLIPASES.
