Oil-in-Oil-Emulsions with Enhanced Substantivity for the Treatment of Chronic Skin Diseases

“…The binding of capsaicinoids to TRPV1 initially induces pain and burning. If the application of capsaicinoids is continued, defunctionalization of the neurons leads to long‐lasting relief of pain and pruritus …”

“…If the application of capsaicinoids is continued, defunctionalization of the neurons leads to longlasting relief of pain and pruritus. [5][6][7][8] Numerable dermal formulations that contain capsaicinoids exist for the treatment of pain.

In vitro Skin Permeation and Penetration of Nonivamide from Novel Film-Forming Emulsions

“…Binding of capsaicinoids to TRPV 1 results in release of substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide and other vasodilatative substances inducing neurogenic inflammation and oedema. If application of capsaicinoids is continued, the persistent influx of cations, mainly calcium, leads to defunctionalisation of neurons resulting in long-lasting relief of pain and pruritus [5,6,7,8]. …”
