Frescolat MGA is a synthetic compound that acts as a TRPM8 channel activator. Studies show that Frescolat MGA has the ability to activate mouse TRPM8 channels and to produce concentration-dependent increase in Ca2+ levels with an EC50 value of 4.8 µM1.
TRPM8 channel is a member of the TRP channels superfamily. TRPM8 is Ca2+-permeable, nonselective cation channel that is activated by temperatures in the range of 8–28°C and by chemical agonists such as menthol and icilin. TRPM8 is specifically expressed in temperature-sensing trigeminal and dorsal root ganglion neurons and is up-regulated in prostate cancer and other malignancies1,2.
Frescolat MGA (#F-165) is a highly pure, synthetic, and biologically active compound.
