🌶️Capsaspin is a molecule that blocks the receptors responsible for the spicy feeling of capsaicin.
🔬Capsaspin was discovered in 1994 and is based on the structure of capsaicin.
😖Capsaspin is also pretty potent and can block receptors in low concentrations.
🧪The synthesis of capsaspin involves several steps, starting with the natural product iso vanillin.
🍽️Capsaspin could potentially allow people who can't handle spicy food to enjoy it without the unpleasant burning sensation.
