Description: Optovin is a photoactive TRPA1 activator. Optovin activates human TRPA1 via structure-dependent photochemical reactions with redox-sensitive cysteine residues. In animals with severed spinal cords, optovin treatment enables control of motor activity in the paralyzed extremities by localized illumination. These studies identify a light-based strategy for controlling endogenous TRPA1 receptors in vivo, with potential clinical and research applications in nontransgenic animals, including humans.

Product Data:
Biological target: Optovin is a reversible photoactivated TRPA1 ligand that enables light-mediated neuronal excitation.
In vitro activity: This study found that optovin generates singlet oxygen (1O2), but neither hydroxyl radicals nor superoxide (Fig. 4b and Supplementary Fig. 11). Together, these data suggest that light excites optovin to a photochemically reactive state that can activate TRPA1 either directly or via singlet oxygen. Neither catalase nor superoxide dismutase reduced optovin's effects on hTRPA1 transfected HEK cells (Supplementary Fig. 12), further suggesting that hydroxyl radicals and superoxide do not contribute to optovin's activity.

In vivo activity: Optovin is a rhodanine-containing small molecule with no previously annotated biological activity. Whereas DMSO-treated animals do not respond to photic stimuli, optovin-treated animals respond to light with vigorous motor excitation at an EC50 of 2 μM (Fig. 1d). Motor behavior in optovin-treated animals is elicited by stimulus intensities greater than 1.6 μW*mm−2 (Fig. 1e). Thus, optovin is a novel behavior-modifying compound that causes rapid and reversible motor excitation in response to violet light stimuli.
