Anandamide, known as AEA for short, plays a very important role in neuroprotection through CB1 receptor and CB2 receptor, or CB1/CB2-independent pathways. There are three kinds of popular anandamide analogs on the market, namely methylfluorophosphonate, fatty acid ethanolamides and lipoamino acids. Anandamide analogs have very similar bioactivity and chemical molecule framework as AEA, however their …

Anandamide (= N-arachidonoylethanolamine) is the first discovered endocannabinoid, and belongs to the class of bioactive, long-chain N-acylethanolamines (NAEs). In animal tissues, anandamide is principally formed together with other NAEs from glycerophospholipid by two successive enzymatic reactions: 1) N-acylation of phosphatidylethanolamine to generate N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE) by Ca2þ-dependent N-acyltransferase; 2) release of NAE from NAPE by a …
