Capsaicin appears to be effective for osteoarthritis (OA) pain but it is uncertain whether the effect has a dose response, is consistent across joints, or changes over time. Randomized controlled trials of topical capsaicin use in OA were identified from PubMed, EMBASE, and ISI Web of Knowledge. Effect on pain scores, patient global evaluation of treatment effectiveness and application site burning were assessed by standardised mean differences (SMD), using RevMan. Five double-blind randomized controlled trials and one case-crossover trial of topical capsaicin use were identified. Formulations ranged from 0.025 to 0.075%, and trial durations from 4 to 12 weeks. Trials assessed OA of the knee (n=3), hand (n=1), and a mix of joints (n=2). Capsaicin treatment efficacy (vs. placebo) for change in VAS pain score was moderate, at 0.44 (95% CI: 0.25-0.62) over 4 weeks of treatment. There was no heterogeneity between studies, indicating no between-study differences, including effect of OA site or treatment concentration. Two studies reported treatment beyond 4 weeks, with divergent results. One study reported an effect size of -9 mm after 12 weeks, and maximal between-group differences at 4 weeks. A second study reported that between-group differences increased over time, up to 20 weeks. Capsaicin was reported as being safe and well-tolerated, with no systemic toxicity. Mild application site burning affected 35-100% of capsaicin-treated patients with a risk ratio of 4.22 (95% CI: 3.25-5.48, n=5 trials); incidence peaked in week 1, with incidence rates declining over time. Topical capsaicin treatment four times daily is moderately effective in reducing pain intensity up to 20 weeks regardless of site of application and dose in patients with at least moderate pain and clinical or radiologically defined OA, and is well tolerated.

Cough hypersensitivity has been common among respiratory diseases. /The study objective was/ to determine associations of capsaicin cough sensitivity and clinical parameters in adults with clinically stable bronchiectasis. We recruited 135 consecutive adult bronchiectasis patients and 22 healthy subjects. History inquiry, sputum culture, spirometry, chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), Leicester Cough Questionnaire scoring, Bronchiectasis Severity Index (BSI) assessment and capsaicin inhalation challenge were performed. Cough sensitivity was measured as the capsaicin concentration eliciting at least 2 (C2) and 5 coughs (C5). Despite significant overlap between healthy subjects and bronchiectasis patients, both C2 and C5 were significantly lower in the latter group (all p<0.01). Lower levels of C5 were associated with a longer duration of bronchiectasis symptoms, worse HRCT score, higher 24-hour sputum volume, BSI and sputum purulence score, and sputum culture positive for P. aeruginosa. Determinants associated with increased capsaicin cough sensitivity, defined as C5 being 62.5 umol/L or less, encompassed female gender (OR: 3.25, 95%CI: 1.35-7.83, p<0.01), HRCT total score between 7-12 (OR: 2.57, 95%CI: 1.07-6.173, p=0.04), BSI between 5-8 (OR: 4.05, 95%CI: 1.48-11.06, p<0.01) and 9 or greater (OR: 4.38, 95%CI: 1.48-12.93, p<0.01). Capsaicin cough sensitivity is heightened in a subgroup of bronchiectasis patients and associated with the disease severity. Gender and disease severity, but not sputum purulence, are independent determinants of heightened capsaicin cough sensitivity. Current testing for cough sensitivity diagnosis may be limited because of overlap with healthy subjects but might provide an objective index for assessment of cough in future clinical trials.

Chronic unexplained cough triggered by environmental irritants is characterized by increased cough reflex sensitivity, which can be demonstrated by means of inhaled capsaicin. Topical capsaicin can be used to improve non-allergic rhinitis and intestinal hypersensitivity and to reduce neuropathic pain. We established whether an oral intake of natural capsaicin (chilli) could desensitize the cough reflex and improve unexplained coughing. Twenty-four patients with irritant-induced, unexplained chronic cough and 15 controls were included in the study. For 4 weeks, the participants took capsules with pure capsaicin, and for 4 weeks, they took placebo capsules. The protocol was crossover, randomized, and double blind. Cough sensitivity during the study was evaluated by a standardized capsaicin inhalation cough test that assessed the capsaicin concentration required to reach two coughs (C2) and five coughs (C5). Participants were also administered questionnaires on cough and cough-related symptoms. Three patients withdrew before the study end, one during the active treatment period and two during the placebo period. After treatment with capsaicin, the thresholds for C2 were higher (improved) both in patients (p<0.020) and in controls (p<0.0061) compared to after the placebo period. Among patients, the concentration needed to reach C2 (p<0.0004) and C5 (p<0.0009) increased after the period with the active substance compared to cough thresholds at baseline. The cough symptom scores improved after 4 weeks of active treatment (p<0.0030) compared to the baseline scores. Capsaicin powder taken orally decreased capsaicin cough sensitivity and cough symptoms. The findings suggest a desensitization of the cough-sensitive transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1).

Qutenza is a high-dose capsaicin patch used to relieve neuropathic pain from postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) and HIV-associated neuropathy (HIV-AN). In clinical studies, some patients had a dramatic response to the capsaicin patch. Our objective was to determine the baseline characteristics of patients who best benefit from capsaicin patch treatment. We conducted a meta-analysis of 6 completed randomized and controlled Qutenza studies by pooling individual patient data. Sustained response was defined as >50% decrease in the mean pain intensity from baseline to weeks 2 to 12, and Complete Response as an average pain intensity score=1 during weeks 2 to 12. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of response and Complete Response, and subgroups of patients who respond best to the capsaicin patch. Baseline pain intensity score (BPIS)=4 was a predictor of Sustained and Complete Response in PHN and HIV-AN patients; absence of allodynia and presence of hypoesthesia, and a McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) sensory score <22 were predictors of Sustained Response in PHN patients; female sex was a predictor of Sustained and Complete Response in HIV-AN patients. Thus, characteristics associated with the highest chance of responding to the capsaicin patch were, for PHN, BPIS=4, MPQ sensory score=22, absence of allodynia, and presence of hypoesthesia; for HIV-AN, they were female sex and BPIS=4. Patients with these characteristics had a statistically significantly greater chance of responding to the capsaicin patch than other patients.

... Capsaisin is for external use only. It should not be applied to wounds or to damaged or irritated skin. It should not be wrapped tightly. Capsaisin should not come in contact with mucous membranes, eyes, or contact lenses. If this occurs, the affected area should be rinsed thoroughly with water. This produc should be discontinued and a health care provider consulted if condition worsens or does not improve after regular use. If blistering occurs, or if severe burning persists. Heat should not be applied to the treated area immediately before or after applications, because this may increase the burning sensation. /Over the counter capsaicin/

The capsaicin 8% patch is indicated in the treatment of neuropathic pain associated with post-herpetic neuralgia. There are multiple topical capsaicin formulations available, including creams and solutions, indicated for temporary analgesia in muscle and join pain as well as neuropathic pain.
FDA Label
Qutenza is indicated for the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain in adults either alone or in combination with other medicinal products for pain.
Capsaicin is a TRPV1 receptor agonist. TRPV1 is a trans-membrane receptor-ion channel complex activated by temperatures higher than 43 degrees Celsius, pH lower than 6, and endogenous lipids. When activated by a combination of these factors, the channel can transiently open and initiate depolarization due to the influx of calcium and sodium ions. Because TRPV1 is commonly expressed in A-delta and mostly C fibers, depolarization results in action potentials which send impulses to the brain and spinal cord. These impulses result in capsaicin effects of warming, tingling, itching, stinging, or burning. Capsaicin also causes more persistent activation of these receptors compared to the environmental agonists, resulting in a loss of response to many sensory stimuli, described as "defunctionalization". Capsaicin is associated with many enzymatic, cytoskeletal, and osmotic changes, as well as disruption of mitochondrial respiration, impairing nociceptor function for extended periods of time.

Absorption
**Oral**: Following oral administration, capsaicin may be absorbed by a nonactive process from the stomach and whole intestine with an extent of absorption ranging between 50 and 90%, depending on the animal. The peak blood concentration can be reached within 1 hour following administration. Capsaicin may undergo minor metabolism in the small intestine epithelial cells post-absorption from the stomach into the small intestines. While oral pharmacokinetics information in humans is limited, ingestion of equipotent dose of 26.6 mg of pure capsaicin, capsaicin was detected in the plasma after 10 minutes and the peak plasma concentration of 2.47 0.13 ng/ml was reached at 47.1 2.0 minutes. **Systemic**: Following intravenous or subcutaneous administration in animals, the concentrations in the brain and spinal cord were approximately 5-fold higher than that in blood and the concentration in the liver was approximately 3-fold higher than that in blood. **Topical**: Topical capsaicin in humans is rapidly and well absorbed through the skin, however systemic absorption following topical or transdermal administration is unlikely. For patients receiving the topical patch containing 179 mg of capsaicin, a population analysis was performed and plasma concentrations of capsaicin were fitted using a one-compartment model with first-order absorption and linear elimination. The mean peak plasma concentration was 1.86 ng/mL but the maximum value observed in any patient was 17.8 ng/mL.
Route of Elimination
It is proposed that capsaicin mainly undergoes renal excretion, as both the unchanged and glucuronide form. A small fraction of unchanged compound is excreted in the feces and urine. _In vivo_ animal studies demonstrates that less than 10 % of an administered dose was found in faces after 48 h.
Prescription and nonprescription products for topical management of pain, including cream, lotion and patch forms, contain capsaicin (CAP) and dihydrocapsaicin (DHC). There are few in vivo studies on absorption, bioavailability, and disposition of CAP and DHC. We established a sensitive and rapid LC-MS/MS assay to determine CAP and DHC levels in rabbit plasma and tissue. Bio-samples prepared by liquid-liquid extraction using n-hexane-dichloromethane-isopropanol (100: 50: 5, v/v/v) mixture were separated by isocratic chromatography with an Extend C18 column. The mobile phase was acetonitrile-water-formic acid (70: 30: 0.1, v/v/v). The method was linear from 0.125 to 50 ng/mL for a 100 uL bio-sample, and the lower quantification limit was 0.125 ng/mL. Total run time to analyze each sample was 3.5 min. We used this validated method to study pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of CAP gel administered topically to rabbits. A very small amount of CAP and DHC was absorbed into the systemic circulation. The highest plasma concentration was 2.39 ng/mL, and the mean peak plasma concentration value after 12 h of CAP gel application was 1.68 ng/mL. Drug concentration in treated skin was relatively high, with low concentration in other tissues. Thus, topical CAP gel had strong local effects and weaker systemic effects.

Capsaicin metabolism after oral administration is unclear, however it is expected to undergo metabolism in the liver with minimal metabolism in the gut lumen. _In vitro_ studies with human hepatic microsomes and S9 fragments indicate that capsaicin is rapidly metabolized, producing three major metabolites, 16-hydroxycapsaicin, 17-hydroxycapsaicin, and 16,17-hydroxycapsaicin, whereas vanillin was a minor metabolite. It is proposed that cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes may play some role in hepatic drug metabolism. _In vitro_ studies of capsaicin in human skin suggest slow biotransformation with most capsaicin remaining unchanged.
Capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin are the major active components in pepper spray products, which are widely used for law enforcement and self-protection. The use of pepper sprays, due to their irreversible and other health effects has been under a strong debate. In this study, we compared metabolism and cytotoxicity of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin using human and pig liver cell fractions and human lung carcinoma cell line (A549) in vitro. Metabolites were screened and identified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Using liver cell fractions, a novel aliphatic hydroxylated metabolite (m/z 322) was detected to dihydrocapsaicin but no structure was found corresponding to capsaicin. Instead, a novel phase I metabolite of capsaicin, corresponding to the structure of aliphatic demethylation and dehydrogenation (m/z 294) was identified. In addition, two novel conjugates, glycine conjugates (m/z 363 and m/z 365) and bi-glutathione (GSH) conjugates (m/z 902 and m/z 904), were identified for both capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin. The medium of the exposed A549 cells contained omega-hydroxylated (m/z 322) and alkyl dehydrogenated (m/z 304) forms, as well as a glycine conjugate of capsaicin. As to dihydrocapsaicin, an alkyl dehydrogenated (m/z 306) form, a novel alkyl hydroxylated form, and a novel glycine conjugate were found. In A549 cells, dihydrocapsaicin evoked vacuolization and decreased cell viability more efficiently than capsaicin. Furthermore, both compounds induced p53 protein and G1 phase cell cycle arrest. Usefulness of the found metabolites as biomarkers for capsaicinoid exposures will need further investigations with additional toxicity endpoints.

... Dehydrogenation of capsaicin was a novel metabolic pathway and produced unique macrocyclic, diene, and imide metabolites. Metabolism of capsaicin by microsomes was inhibited by 1-aminobenzotriazole (1-ABT). Metabolism was catalyzed by CYP1A1, 1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A4. Addition of GSH (2 mM) to microsomal incubations stimulated the metabolism of capsaicin and trapped several reactive electrophilic intermediates as their GSH adducts. /Study conducted with recombinant P450 enzymes and hepatic and lung microsomes from various species, including humans/

The objectives of this study are to characterize capsaicin glucuronidation using liver microsomes and to determine the contribution of individual UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes to hepatic glucuronidation of capsaicin. The rates of glucuronidation were determined by incubating capsaicin with uridine diphosphoglucuronic acid-supplemented microsomes. Kinetic parameters were derived by model fitting. Determination of the relative activity factors, expression-activity correlation and activity correlation analysis were performed to identify the main UGT enzymes contributing to capsaicin metabolism. Capsaicin was efficiently glucuronidated in pooled human liver microsomes (pHLM). UGT1A1, 1A9 and 2B7 (as well as the gastrointestinal enzymes UGT1A7 and 1A8) showed considerable activities. Capsaicin glucuronidation was significantly correlated with 3-O-glucuronidation of beta-estradiol (r=0.637; p=0.014) and with UGT1A1 protein levels (r=0.616; p=0.019) in a bank of individual HLMs (n=14). Also, capsaicin glucuronidation was strongly correlated with zidovudine glucuronidation (r=0.765; p<0.01) and with UGT2B7 protein levels (r=0.721; p<0.01). UGT1A1, 1A9 and 2B7 contributed 30.3, 6.0 and 49.0% of total glucuronidation of capsaicin in pHLM, respectively. Further, glucuronidation of capsaicin by liver microsomes showed marked species difference.

Following oral ingestion of equipotent dose of 26.6 mg of pure capsaicin, the half life was approximately 24.9 5.0 min. Following topical application of 3% solution of capsaicin, the half-life of capsaicin was approximately 24 h. The mean population elimination half-life was 1.64 h following application of a topical patch containing 179 mg of capsaicin.
Capsaicin has been shown to reduce the amount of substance P associated with inflammation - however this is not believed to be its main mechanism in the relief of pain. Capsaicin's mechanism of action is attributed to "defunctionalization" of nociceptor fibers by inducing a topical hypersensitivity reaction on the skin. This alteration in pain mechanisms is due to many of the following: temporary loss of membrane potential, inability to transport neurotrophic factors leading to altered phenotype, and reversible retraction of epidermal and dermal nerve fiber terminals.
Capsaicin, the pungent constituent of chili peppers, represents the paradigm for the capsaicinoids or vanilloids, a family of compounds shown to stimulate and then desensitize specific subpopulations of sensory receptors, including C-polymodal nociceptors, A-delta mechanoheat nociceptors and warm receptors of the skin, as well as enteroceptors of thin afferent fibers. ...

... In rats desensitized by intraperitoneal (ip) capsaicin (i.e., abdominal non-systemic desensitization), mainly the first but not the later fever phases were reduced. The postprandial hyperthermia to intragastric injection of BaSO4 suspension was attenuated by either ip or perineural capsaicin treatment.

... Heat and protons as well as capsaicin activate VR1 to induce the influx of cations, particularly Ca2+ and Na+ ions. Characteristic effects of capsaicin are the induction of a burning sensation after acute administration and the desensitization of sensory neurons after large doses and prolonged administration. ... Capsaicin alters several visceral functions. ... Capsaicin affects thermoregulation after intra-hypothalamic injection and releases glutamate from the hypothalamus and cerebral cortex slices, while VR1-like immunoreactivity is not apparent in these regions.

... 0.4 and 4 uM of capsaicin produced a significant tonic block on voltage-activated Na+ current (I(Na)) evoked by a depolarizing step to -40 mV from a holding potential of -100 mV (49 +/- 7% n=11, p<0.05 and 72 +/- 13% n=4, p<0.05 respectively). ... Capsaicin slowed the time decay of inactivation of I(Na), and increased the time constant of the recovery of inactivation. Capsaicin and tetrodotoxin (TTX) depressed contractility of isolated electrically driven left rat atria, being the depression of maximal velocity of force development (dF/dt(max)) with respect to control values of 19 +/- 3% at 1 uM of capsaicin and 22 +/- 2% at 1 uM of TTX.
