Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels mediate key aspects of taste, smell, pain, temperature sensation, and pheromone detection. To deepen our understanding of TRP channel physiology, we require more diverse pharmacological tools. Citral, a bioactive component of lemongrass, is commonly used as a taste enhancer, as an odorant in perfumes, and as an insect repellent. Here we report tha...

WHEN aldehydes are fed to animals, the -CHO group is either reduced to -CH20H or oxidized to -COOH. It can be stated broadly that those aldehydes undergoing biological reduction are aliphatic in nature, whilst those oxidized to the corresponding acid are aromatic.2 Examples of the former are chloral [Musculus & Mering, 1875; Mering, 1882], butyl chloral [Mering, 1882] and bromal [Maraldi, 1903]...
