5-Bromo-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)aniline is a potent inhibitor of the ion channel TRPV1. It has been used as a research tool to study voltage gated ion channels and their role in pain sensation. As an inhibitor of TRPV1, 5-Bromo-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)aniline blocks the action of capsaicin and other agonists that activate the channel. This drug is also used to characterize the effects of TRPV1 activation on downstream signaling pathways such as protein interactions and ligand binding to G proteins.
