Biochem/physiol Actions

Polygodial is a sesquiterpene dialdehyde. It is obtained from the plants Polygonum hydropiper, Warburgia ugandensis, Pseudowintera colorata and Warburgia stuhlmannii. It exhibits antifeedant activity and antimicrobial activity against insects and microbes, respectively. It is responsible for the “hot taste” in peppery spices of traditional Japanese cuisine.
Polygodial is a TRPA1 activator; antifungal.
Polygodial is a selective activator of Transient Receptor Potential Anykrin 1 (TRPA1) channels. Initially painful, polygodial acts as an analgesic by desensitizing sensory neuron. Polygodial also has broad antifungal properties, and is cytotoxic against bacteria and algae.

The antifungal activity of polygodial against Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves multifunctions. Polygodial first acts as a surface-active agent (surfactant) and then becomes involved in biochemical processes. The ability to form a pyrrole derivative with a primary amine group of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)

This study investigated whether or not the neonatal treatment of rats with the sesquiterpenes polygodial or drimanial could cause persistent antinociception similar to that induced by capsaicin. Rats were injected subcutaneously 48 h after birth with capsaicin (50 mg/kg), polygodial
