Description:Icilin is a synthetic compound known for its role as a potent activator of the TRPM8 (transient receptor potential melastatin 8) ion channel, which is involved in the sensation of cold and menthol-like cooling effects. It is classified as a chemical compound with a specific structure that allows it to interact with biological systems, particularly in sensory neurons. Icilin is often studied in the context of pain modulation and thermosensation, making it of interest in pharmacological research. The compound is typically characterized by its ability to induce a cooling sensation, similar to menthol, and is used in various studies to explore mechanisms of cold perception and potential therapeutic applications. Its CAS number, 36945-98-9, serves as a unique identifier for regulatory and research purposes. As with many chemical substances, safety and handling precautions are essential when working with Icilin in laboratory settings.
