Eugenol is a small molecule with structural analogy to Capsaicin (sc-3577) that demonstrates agonism of the TRPV1 receptor. Eugenol is described to activate inward currents at the TRPV1, and this action is antagonized by the Capsaicin antagonist Capsazepine (sc-201098). Agonism of the TRPV1 by Eugenol has been correlated with an anesthetic effect. Eugenol also demonstrates antifungal and antimicrobial activity, showing efficacy against Candida albicans biofilms, Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli. Eugenol is further described to induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and to scavenge ROS, thus demonstrating prooxidant and antioxidant effects.

Since it is in a liquid state, what solvent used?

Asked by: SCchem16
Thank you for your question. This chemical, Eugenol (CAS 97-53-0), is provided in it's pure form. Eugenol has a melting point of roughly -10 ºC which is why at room temperature it will be in a liquid state.
