Description | Umbellulone is an active constituent of the leaves of Umbellularia californica. Umbellulone stimulates the TRPA1 channel in a subset of peptidergic, nociceptive neurons, activating the trigeminovascular system via this mechanism[1]. |

In Vitro | Umbellulone, from µM to sub-mM concentrations, selectively stimulates transient receptor potential ankyrin 1-expressing HEK293 cells[1]. |
In Vivo | Umbellulone (50–250 nM/5ul) causes an acute nocioceptive response in a dose-dependent manner in Trpa1+/+ mice[1]. Umbellulone (150 µg/kg; intravenous or intranasal) do not affect systemic blood pressure[1]. Umbellulone (30-150 μg/kg; i.v.) increases meningeal blood flow in a dose-dependent manner[1]. Animal Model: Sprague-Dawley rats (male, 250 g)[1] Dosage: 30 μg/kg, 75 μg/kg, 150 μg/kg Administration: Intravenously Result: Increased meningeal blood flow in a dose-dependent manner. |
