Tinyatoxin (TTX orTTN) is an analog of the neurotoxinresiniferatoxin. It occurs naturally inEuphorbia poissonii.[1]
It is a neurotoxin that acts via full agonism of thevanilloid receptors of sensory nerves.[2] Tinyatoxin has a potential for pharmaceutical uses similar to uses ofcapsaicin. Tinyatoxin is about one third as strong asresiniferatoxin but is still an ultrapotent analogue of capsaicin, with a heat intensity estimate of 300 to 350 times that of capsaicin.[citation needed]
