Notes: α-Spinasterol is a bioavailable phytosterol originally isolated from spinach that acts as an antagonist at the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) receptor (IC50 = 1.4 µM).{39108,39112} It has antinociceptive effects in a noxious heat-induced pain test and also reduces hyperalgesia and edema in a complete Freund’s adjuvant-induced inflammatory pain test in mice at a dose of 0.3 µmol/kg. α-Spinastrerol increases the seizure threshold in a dose-dependent manner and reduces depressive-like behavior in mice.{39110,39111} It also has anti-inflammatory activity in vivo and inhibits benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats.{39107,39109}
