The present invention includes compounds useful as modulators of TRPM8, such as compounds of Formula (I) and the subgenus and species thereof; personal products containing those compounds; and the use of those compounds and the personal products, particularly the use of increasing or inducing chemesthetic sensations, such as cooling or cold sensations.

The invention relates to the use of a TRPM8-activating substance for producing a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of tumor diseases in which TRPM8 is over-expressed.

The present invention includes compounds useful as modulators of TRPM8, such as compounds of Formula (I) and the subgenus and species thereof; personal products containing those compounds; and the use of those compounds and the personal products, particularly the use of increasing or inducing chemesthetic sensations, such as cooling or cold sensations.

The present disclosure relates to topical compositions comprising one or more compounds which are cooling agents.

The present invention discovered that a mammalian TRPM8 binds to calmodulin. The present invention provides a polypeptide complex comprising a cold-menthol receptor (TRPM8) or an active fragment or derivative of TRPM8 and a calmodulin or an active fragment or derivative of calmodulin, and the uses of the polypeptide complex.

The present discovery pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds. More specifically the present discovery pertains to certain di-isopropyl-phosphinoyl-alkanes as described herein, DIPA-1-5, DIPA-1-6, DIPA-1-7, DIPA-1-8, and DIPA-1-9, collectively referred to herein as “DIPA compounds”, that are useful, for example, in the treatment of disorders (e.g., diseases) including: sensory discomfort (e.g., caused by irritation, itch, or pain); a skin dysesthesia; dermatitis; ocular pain and discomfort; heat discomfort; heat stress; flushing and / or night sweats (vasomotor symptoms); post-operative hypothermia; post-anaesthetic shivering; fatigue; tiredness; depression; cognitive dysfunction; and to enhance cognitive function. The applicant has found that localized delivery of DIPA compounds to the upper eyelid and / or facial skin has an alerting and enhancement effect on behavior and can be used to give a cosmetic refreshing look, to mental alertness, to reduce fatigue, and to improve work output. The present discovery also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, for example, in therapy, in diagnosis of neuropathic pain, and in study of TRPM8 function.

The invention relates to compounds acting as selective antagonists of Transient Receptor Potential cation channel subfamily M member 8 (TRPM8), and having formula (I). Said compounds are useful in the treatment of diseases associated with activity of TRPM8 such as pain, inflammation, ischaemia, neurodegeneration, stroke, psychiatric disorders, itch, irritable bowel diseases, cold induced and / or exhacerbated respiratory disorders and urological disorders.
