Qutenza(capsaicin)
Qutenza (capsaicin) is a small molecule pharmaceutical. Capsaicin was first approved as Qutenza on 2009-05-15. It is used to treat diabetic neuropathies, herpes zoster, and neuralgia in the USA. It has been approved in Europe to treat neuralgia. The pharmaceutical is active against transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1. In addition, it is known to target cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 6, potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily C member 1, potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 7, potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 2, and potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 1.
