Potent and selective TRPV1 antagonist. Blocks Ca2+ uptake by CHO cells expressing TRPV1 receptors and acid-induced Ca2+ uptake, respectively). Exhibits >4000-fold selectivity for TRPV1 over other TRP channels. Blocks capsaicin-induced flinch response and causes hyperthermia in rats. Orally available and non-CNS penetrant.

Fenobam hydrate is a noncompetitive antagonist and inverse agonist of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5). It inhibits intracellular calcium mobilization induced by the glutamate analog quisqualate and inhibits basal activity of mGluR5. Fenobam reduces stress-induced hyperthermia, exhibits anxiolytic-like activity, and may induce analgesia.
2-Aminotetralin acts as a neuromodulatory agent by inhibiting serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine reuptake in the rat brain at a dose of 39.4 mg/kg. It triggers hypothermia in rats through intracisternal or intraperitoneal injection, while the implantation of crystals in the hypothalamus' medial preoptic area leads to hyperthermia. Additionally, it mimics (+)-amphetamine in a two-lever drug discrimination test among rats in a dose-dependent manner.
CBiPES, a potent mGlu2 positive allosteric modulator with an EC50 value of 92.8 nM, attenuates stress-induced hyperthermia and Phencyclidine-induced hyperlocomotor activity, and can be used for research of neurological diseases [1] [2].
Selective μ opioid receptor agonist (IC50 values are 5.5 and > 10000 nM for inhibition of 125I-FK 33,824 and 125I-DADLE binding to μ and δ sites respectively). Produces naloxone-reversible analgesia, catalepsy and hyperthermia following central administra
