Summary of the activity of TRPA1 agonists in HEK293 cells transiently expressing TRPA1 and TRPA1-M4, and in untrasfected cells

Values are the mean ± S.D. of nonlinear least-squares fit parameters for n = 3 to 5 concentration-response experiments. Maximal response is the ratio of the high-concentration response relative to the response of HEK293-TRPA1 to 100 μM FTS.

  • <20% response at the highest concentration tested; N.D., not determined.

  • a Could not be fit accurately with a Hill function. Instead of an EC50 value, the threshold concentration (i.e., the average concentration required to increase the normalized response by 20%) is provided for this compound.
