N-Arachidonoyl-L-Alanine

Several different arachidonoyl amino acids, including N-arachidonoyl-L-alanine (NALA), have been isolated and characterized from bovine brain. The glycine congener (NAGly) was further characterized and found to suppress formalin-induced pain in rats. NALA may have activity at cannabinoid receptor and/or VR1, but has not been fully characterized to date.Formal Name: N-(1-oxo-5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenyl)-L-alanine. CAS Number: 401941-73-9.
