Nonivamide, a capsaicin analogue, exhibits anti-inflammatory properties in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and U-937 macrophages.
    Molecular nutrition & food research, 2017, Volume: 61, Issue:2

    Inflammation-related diseases are a worldwide problem. The counteraction of inflammation with compounds activating the trigeminal nerve is one strategy to fight these diseases. Known trigeminally active compounds found in black or red pepper are the tingling t-pellitorine, the pungent capsaicin, and the less pungent nonivamide. The presented study compares the anti-inflammatory potential of nonivamide to the two known anti-inflammatory compounds, elucidating the mechanism of action and the role of transient receptor protein (TRP) channels.. Primary peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and U-937 macrophages were stimulated with 1 μg/mL LPS from Escherichia coli (EC-LPS) to induce inflammation. Nonivamide attenuated the EC-LPS induced release of IL-6 and TNF-α in PBMCs and U-937 macrophages determined by magnetic bead kit analysis. This anti-inflammatory mechanism was independent from nuclear factor-kappa B pathway but mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway may be involved. In addition, cotreatment of U-937 with the trigeminally active compound and an antagonist of TRPV1 or TRPA1 abolished the anti-inflammatory activity.. Nonivamide possessed similar anti-inflammatory potential as capsaicin and t-pellitorine. In U-937 macrophages, the tested compounds exploited an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the EC-LPS induced activation of the MAPK pathway. In addition, the TRP channel activation plays a role in the anti-inflammatory capacity of capsaicin and nonivamide.

Capsaicin, nonivamide and trans-pellitorine decrease free fatty acid uptake without TRPV1 activation and increase acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase activity in Caco-2 cells.

    Red pepper and its major pungent component, capsaicin, have been associated with hypolipidemic effects in rats, although mechanistic studies on the effects of capsaicin and/or structurally related compounds on lipid metabolism are scarce. In this work, the effects of capsaicin and its structural analog nonivamide, the aliphatic alkamide trans-pellitorine and vanillin as the basic structural element of all vanilloids on the mechanisms of intestinal fatty acid uptake in differentiated intestinal Caco-2 cells were studied. Capsaicin and nonivamide were found to reduce fatty acid uptake, with IC₅₀ values of 0.49 μM and 1.08 μM, respectively. trans-Pellitorine was shown to reduce fatty acid uptake by 14.0±2.14% at 100 μM, whereas vanillin was not effective, indicating a pivotal role of the alkyl chain with the acid amide group in fatty acid uptake by Caco-2 cells. This effect was associated neither with the activation of the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) or the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) nor with effects on paracellular transport or glucose uptake. However, acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase activity increased (p<0.05) in the presence of 10 μM capsaicin, nonivamide or trans-pellitorine, pointing to an increased fatty acid biosynthesis that might counteract the decreased fatty acid uptake.
