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 ...

Anandamide mitigates ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced gastric ulcer: modulation of inflammation and oxidative stress

open access: yesZagazig Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2015
Anandamide is a cannabinoid receptors agonist that showed a protective effect against intestinal I/R model. However, its modulatory effect on I/R-induced gastric ulcer has not been previously elucidated.

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.

N-acylethanolamines, anandamide and food intake [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Pharmacology, 2009
Anandamide and the other N-acylethanolamines, e.g. oleoylethanolamide (OEA), palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), and linoleoylethanolamide (LEA), may be formed by several enzymatic pathways from their precursors, which are the N-acylated ethanolamine phospholipids.

Neuronal and ion channel mechanisms of noxious heat sensing in mammals: A puzzle of sensory physiology and pharmacology

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) was the first noxious heat‐sensitive channel discovered. In rodents, its role is robust in the heat response of the cell body of polymodal nociceptors, but surprisingly small in that of the peripheral terminals in the skin.

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,

The ongoing oleoylethanolamide story: Therapeutic implications in the control of obesity and its comorbidities

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The global burden of obesity continues to rise, demanding effective pharmacological strategies for individuals in whom prevention alone is insufficient. Recent incretin‐based and multi‐agonist therapies have delivered unprecedented weight loss, demonstrating that the simultaneous modulation of multiple metabolic pathways can optimize body weight ...

Circadian disruption elicits sex‐specific gut microbiota, endocannabinoidome, and lipid mediator responses

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Circadian disruption via constant light induces sex‐specific remodeling of the microbiome, lipid mediators, and immune responses. Females exhibit broader gut microbiota alterations, reduced jejunal oxylipins, increased hypothalamic N‐acylethanolamines, and a more inflammatory cytokine profile. Muscle responses are sex‐ and fiber type‐dependent: females

vasosensory nerves in the anaesthetized rat

open access: yes, 2001
We tested the hypothesis that sensory nerves innervating blood vessels play a role in the local and systemic regulation of the cardiovascular and respiratory (CVR) systems. We measured CVR reflexes evoked by administration of anandamide (86 – 863 nmoles)

Two Vanilloid Ligand Bindings Per Channel Are Required to Transduce Capsaicin-Activating Stimuli

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020
The tetrameric capsaicin receptor transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) in mammals has evolved the capability to integrate pain signal arising from harmful temperature and chemical irritants. The four repetitions of TRPV1 subunits result in an
