Names

[ Name ]:
Hydroxy-ε-sanshool

Biological Activity

[Description]:

Hydroxy-Epsilon-Sanshool is an alkylamide isolated from Zanthoxylum bungeanum. Hydroxy-Epsilon-Sanshool produces key tingling and numbing chemosensates, and its content is important in determinant the pungency intensity of Zanthoxylum bungeanum[1][2].
