Arachidoyl Ethanolamide

Description: Arachidoyl ethanolamide, a saturated fatty acyl ethanolamide lacking classical (CB1/CB2) activity, plays a role in a complex system comprising central cannabinoid (CB1), peripheral cannabinoid (CB2), and non-CB receptor-mediated pharmacology. This system has paved the way for extensive research in diverse fields such as memory, weight loss and appetite, neurodegeneration, tumor surveillance, analgesia, and inflammation. Unlike other compounds, Arachidoyl ethanolamide does not bind to the murine CB1 receptor nor does it compete with anandamide for the fatty acid amide hydrolase, the endocannabinoid hydrolytic enzyme. The non-CB receptor-mediated actions of saturated ethanolamides like Arachidoyl ethanolamide are currently under investigation. Target: Others. Smiles: CCCCCCCCCC CCCCCCCCCC(=O)NCCO
