The TRPV1 ion channel is a potential therapeutic target in the search for new analgesics due to its involvement in mechanisms of nociceptive signal transduction. Specifically, they participate in the detection of noxious stimuli (mechanical, thermal and chemical), giving rise to nociceptive pain sensation. Additionally, its activity is increased under pathological conditions of pain and inflammation, thus its modulation is a challenge in the generation of new safer and more effective therapies. Throughout this work, there has been progress in the pharmacological characterization of compounds derived from capsaicin, all of them modulators of this receptor, either with agonist or antagonist activity. High throughput screening techniques have allowed an initial identification, from which to continue the study of important properties for its possible clinical application, including potency, cytotoxicity, molecular modeling and selectivity. As a result, modulators C12 and C49 have shown to be potential candidates to continue their development as future analgesic drugs.
