These results suggest that alkamide affinin, longipinamide A, longipenamide A and longipenamide B isolated from Heliopsis longipes as well as the synthesized analogue compounds N-isobutyl-feruloylamide and N-isobutyl-dihydroferuloylamide produce their effects by activating TRPV1 receptor and they may have potential for the development of new analgesic drugs for the treatment of orofacial pain.
