Biochem/physiol Actions

Hydroxy-α-sanshool is an active ingredient in Szechuan peppers (also present in other Zanthoxylum plants) that produces a tingling paresthesia or numbing effects. Hydroxy-α-sanshool is a potent agonist of TRPV1/TRPA1 as well as antagonist/blocker of KCNK3/KCNK9/KCNK18 channels. It induces colonic motor activity in rat proximal colon.

In traditional folk medicine, Xanthoxylum plants are referred to as 'toothache trees' because their anesthetic or counter-irritant properties render them useful in the treatment of pain. Psychophysical studies have identified hydroxy-alpha-sanshool as the compound most responsible for the unique tingling

Various colonic motor activities are thought to mediate propulsion and mixing/absorption of colonic content. The Japanese traditional medicine daikenchuto (TU-100), which is widely used for postoperative ileus in Japan, accelerates colonic emptying in healthy humans. Hydroxy-α sanshool (HAS), a readily
