      Alomone Labs Frescolat MGA activates TRPM8 channels expressed in HEK-293 cells.
      Dose response curve of the activation of TRPM8, shown as relative fluorescence plotted against increasing concentrations of Frescolat MGA (#F-165). EC50 was determined at 1.77 µM. Cells were loaded with Calcium-5 dye. Changes in intracellular Ca2+ following agonist application were detected as changes in 485 nm/525 nm fluorescence (RFU).

    Scientific background

    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.
