Latest Patents
One of Uhtaek Oh's latest patents is titled "Use of lipoxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid and its derivatives in capsaicin-channel agonist." This invention discloses the use of metabolites produced from arachidonic acid by the catalytic action of lipoxygenase as capsaicin-channel or receptor agonists. The lipoxygenase metabolites can activate the capsaicin channel to excite pain nerves, causing serious pain. In contrast, the activation of the capsaicin channel can lead to analgesic effects. This discovery opens new avenues for using lipoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid in the search for and development of analgesics.
