Triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) is a neurotoxic very stable polar compound present in waste organic solutions from the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. The acute toxicity of TPPO LC50=12.2µg/mL, LC90=29.5µg/mL is higher than triphenyltin acetate so that a correct management in the relationship with sustainable chemistry is strongly required. TPPO was identified as a selective and potent inhibitor of transient receptor potential melastatin-5 (TRPM5), but at the same moment, it had no effect (up to 100 μM) on the membrane potential responses of TRPA1, TRPV1, or TRPM4b.

Using recombinant transient receptor potential melastatin-5 (TRPM5) -expressing cells in a fluorescence imaging plate reader-based membrane potential assay, was identified triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) as a selective and potent inhibitor of TRPM5. TPPO inhibited both human (IC₅₀ = 12 μM) and murine TRPM5 (IC₅₀ = 30 μM) heterologously expressed in HEK293 cells, but had no effect (up to 100 μM) on the membrane potential responses of TRPA1, TRPV1, or TRPM4b. TPPO also inhibited a calcium-gated TRPM5-dependent conductance in taste cells isolated from the tongues of transgenic TRPM5(+/)⁻ mice.
