Inhibition of synaptic transmission by anandamide precursor 20:4-NAPE is mediated by TRPV1 receptors under inflammatory conditions

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2023
Transient receptor potential ion channel, vanilloid subfamily, type 1 (TRPV1) cation channel, and cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) are essential in the modulation of nociceptive signaling in the spinal cord dorsal horn that underlies different pathological ...

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Covalent fluorescent probes for 2‐arachidonoylglycerol metabolic pathways

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Covalent fluorescent probes have emerged as versatile chemical tools to visualise active enzymes in complex biological systems. When tailored for specific applications, ranging from activity‐based protein profiling for drug development to high spatiotemporal resolution imaging of enzymatic activities, these probes provide unique insights into ...

Synthesis, Quantification, and Characterization of Fatty Acid Amides from In Vitro and In Vivo Sources

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Fatty acid amides are a diverse family of underappreciated, biologically occurring lipids. Herein, the methods for the chemical synthesis and subsequent characterization of specific members of the fatty acid amide family are described.

The relationship between the cannabinoids and cardiac remodelling: A comprehensive review of pivotal mechanisms and emerging evidence

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cardiac remodelling and fibrosis after myocardial infarction or during chronic diseases, such as arterial and pulmonary hypertension or diabetes mellitus, continue to be the more important prognostic factors in determining survival, and so the search for effective anti‐fibrotic interventions is an important target for research and therapy in cardiology.

Endocannabinoid metabolism inhibition has no effect on spontaneous fear recovery or extinction resistance in Lister hooded rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Endocannabinoid transmission is emerging as a target for treating anxiety-related disorders, given its regulation of fear extinction. Boosting anandamide levels via inhibition of its metabolism by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) can enhance extinction,

Novel, potent THC/anandamide (hybrid) analogs [PDF]

open access: yesBioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2007
The structure-activity relationship (SAR) of the end pentyl chain in anandamide (AEA) has been established to be very similar to that of Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta(9)-THC). In order to broaden our understanding of the structural similarities between AEA and THC, hybrid structures 1-3 were designed.

Cannabidiol and cannabigerol ameliorate steatotic liver disease via phosphocreatine buffering and lysosomal restoration

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) alleviate hepatic steatosis in obese mice by shifting energy buffering towards phosphocreatine and enhancing lysosomal lipid degradation and trafficking. These effects are associated with increased creatine kinase activity and lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA) levels, highlighting a previously unrecognised ...

Identification of prostamides, fatty acyl ethanolamines, and their biosynthetic precursors in rabbit cornea[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2015
Arachidonoyl ethanolamine (anandamide) and pros­taglandin ethanolamines (prostamides) are biologically active derivatives of arachidonic acid. Although available through different precursor phospholipids, there is considerable overlap between the ...
