It is a chemical  irritant  and  neurotoxin  for mammals, including humans, and produces a sensation of burning in any tissue with which it comes into contact. Capsaicin and several related  amides  (capsaicinoids) are produced as  secondary metabolites  by chili peppers, probably as deterrents against certain mammals and fungi.  Pure capsaicin is a  hydrophobic , colorless, highly   pungent , crystalline to waxy solid compound.
