“…It was earlier demonstrated that capsaicinoids display analgesic action [5,6,7,8,9], protect the gastric mucosa against the damage caused by the non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and alcohol [10,11,12,13,14,15], have anti-inflammatory effect [16,17,18], as well as anti-tumor and antioxidant potential [19,20,21]. Much of the published literature on capsaicin relates to capsaicin containing pepper extracts; these extracts are typically a mixture of capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, and the minor capsaicinoids nordihydrocapsaicin, homocapsaicin, and homodihydrocapsaicin [22].…”
