2-Chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile, known as oleoresin capsicum is a naturally occurring compound abundantly found in Capsicum plants, including peppers and chilies. This compound exhibits remarkable potency as an irritant, provoking a burning sensation upon contact with the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. 2-Chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile has found extensive application in exploring the effects of irritants on the human body. It has been employed to investigate the impact of environmental irritants, such as air pollution, on the respiratory system. Furthermore, it has been instrumental in studying the effects of chemical irritants, such as pesticides, on the skin.
