Capsaicin as a KDM1A/LSD1 Inhibitor
2026-08-23
The 2020 study identified Capsaicin as a reversible, FAD-competitive inhibitor of lysine-specific demethylase 1A (KDM1A/LSD1), with direct biochemical binding and activity in gastric cancer cells. Its findings connect a familiar TRPV1-active natural product with histone methylation control, cell migration, invasion, and epithelial–mesenchymal transition, while also highlighting important questions about selectivity and translational relevance.
