This disclosure generally relates to chemicals that affect sensory processes. More particularly, this present invention relates to peripheral sensory compounds (including, e.g., 2-Isopropyl-5-methyl-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid [2′-hydroxy-2′-(3″-hydroxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-N-methyl-amide) that are useful in sensory refreshment, inhibit the perception of itch and pain, and alleviation of skin irritation, itch, and pain. These compositions have surprising pharmacokinetic properties that allow a prolonged duration of pharmacological actions and may be administered topically or systemically. |
