N-Methylarachidonamide

Overview

Anandamide (AEA) is an endogenous cannabinoid that binds to both central cannabinoid ( CB1 ) and peripheral cannabinoid ( CB2 ) receptors. The biological actions of AEA are terminated by cellular uptake and hydrolysis of the amide bond by the enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase. Arachidonoyl-N-methyl amide is an analog of anandamide that binds to the human central cannabinoid ( CB1 ) receptor with a Ki of 60 nM. It inhibits rat glial gap junction cell-cell communication 100% at a concentration of 50 μM.
