- Background
Nonivamide is found in herbs and spices. It is an alkaloid from the Capsicum species. The structures of Capsaicin and nonivamide differ only slightly with respect to the fatty acid moiety of the side chain (8-methyl nonenoic acid versus nonanoic acid) 15.
Nonivamide is a flavoring ingredient. Nonivamide is an organic compound and a capsaicinoid. It is an amide of pelargonic acid and vanillylamine. It is naturally found in chili peppers but manufactured to produce a synthetic form for various pharmacologic preparations 11.
This drug has been studied in combination with Nicarboxil in the treatment of lower back pain 12.
Nonivamide has also been studied for its anti-inflammatory properties, as well as in fat loss therapies and has demonstrated promising results 13, 8, 4, 2.

- Mechanism of action
Nonivamide is a naturally occurring analog of Capsaicin, isolated from peppers, described to produce effects similar to Capsaicin. It is an agonist of the VR1 (vanilloid/TRPV1 receptor) 10. It serves as a transient agonist of these receptors, which are potentiated by pro-inflammatory drugs, a phenomenon that leads to thermal hyperalgesia, or increased heat sensation 9.
Nonivamide has been shown to stimulate afferent neurons with about half the potency of Capsaicin. Agonism of the VR1 (TRPV1) (vanilloid) receptor by Nonivamide was demonstrated to induce the release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of human lung cells, producing ER stress and cell death MSDS.
Nonivamide, like other capsaicinoids, acts on the vanilloid receptors located in the peripheral afferent nerve fibers, providing short-acting irritant and algesic properties. Applied dermally, these substances act by stimulating sensitive chemoreceptors of the skin and by reflex, hyperemia and a local elevation in temperature. After repetitive administration, capsaicinoids have been reported to lead to desensitization to nociceptive stimuli possibly by long-acting depletion of peptide neurotransmitters (substance P) from peripheral sensory neurons. Capsaicinoids can modulate muscle tone (in bladder, bronchus etc.). Intravenous injection of nonivamide to rats (10 μg/kg) has been found to lead to bradycardia. The cardiovascular effects are partly explained by substance P release. Nonivamide given to rats subcutaneously (1 mg/kg) was found to cause body temperature decrease, vasodilatation, and increased salivation. Capsaicinoids have shown to illicit bronchospastic effects in guinea pigs. Capsaicin and its analogs were reported to increase barbiturate sleeping time in rats by interacting with hepatic metabolizing enzymes 15.

- Metabolism
Limited information is available on pharmacokinetics and metabolism of nonivamide 15. For the closely related Capsaicin and other capsaicinoids, gastrointestinal absorption is rapid and almost entirely complete in studies of rats (oral dose of about 10 to 15 mg/kg of combined capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin) with about 85% of the dose being absorbed within 3 hours. Both substances undergo first-pass metabolism in the liver and partly metabolized at the site of absorption 15.

- Toxicity
Nonivamide appears to be of low acute toxicity, according to the EMA summary report 15. The oral LD50 in rats is reported with 5110 mg/kg and the dermal LD50 in rabbits is greater than 10 000 mg/kg. Administered intraperitoneally, the LD50 in rats was measured to be about 90 mg/kg. In combination with nicoboxil, the acute dermal toxicity of nonivamide was increased. Signs of toxicity (depression, labored respiration, diarrhea) were observed at doses as low as 32 mg/kg body weight of nonivamide combined 200 mg nicoboxil/kg body weight 15.
Allergic reactions in humans following administration of capsaicin or capsicum extracts are reported to be rare 15.
No information on carcinogenic properties of nonivamide was available. Tumorigenic properties have been reported in literature for Capsaicin or chili 15.

- General Function
- Ligand-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel involved in detection of noxious chemical and thermal stimuli. Seems to mediate proton influx and may be involved in intracellular acidosis in nociceptive neurons. Involved in mediation of inflammatory pain and hyperalgesia. Sensitized by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system activated by receptor tyrosine kinases, which involves PKC isozymes and PCL. Activation by vanilloids, like capsaicin, and temperatures higher than 42 degrees Celsius, exhibits a time- and Ca(2+)-dependent outward rectification, followed by a long-lasting refractory state. Mild extracellular acidic pH (6.5) potentiates channel activation by noxious heat and vanilloids, whereas acidic conditions (pH <6) directly activate the channel. Can be activated by endogenous compounds, including 12-hydroperoxytetraenoic acid and bradykinin. Acts as ionotropic endocannabinoid receptor with central neuromodulatory effects. Triggers a form of long-term depression (TRPV1-LTD) mediated by the endocannabinoid anandamine in the hippocampus and nucleus accumbens by affecting AMPA receptors endocytosis
