What is cooling agent WS-12 powder?
Cooling agent WS-12 powder is a potent TRPM8 agonist that acts as a cooling agent (EC50 = 193 nM). It robustly activated TRPM8 in low micromolar concentrations (EC50 12+/-5 microM), thereby displaying a higher potency and efficacy than menthol (EC50 196+/-22 microM). The selectivity profile of WS-12, its several-fold higher potency, and around two-fold increase in efficacy compared to menthol warrants its potential utility for therapy in chronic neuropathic pain states and as a diagnostic probe in prostate cancer.
It is a menthol derivative. But unlike menthol, it is virtually nonvolatile, odorless, and tasteless. It offers one of the strongest initial cooling impacts and a significantly longer-lasting effect than conventional coolants such as WS-3, WS-5, and WS-23. It has the potential for use in mint flavors in oral care applications and confectionery and chewing gum, depending on dosage levels. Besides, it can be used at low levels to impart freshness into the berry, citrus, and other fruit flavors in various applications. WS-12 has been found to cool primarily at the front of the tongue.
