Definition
ChEBI:Arachidonyl-2'-chloroethylamide is a fatty amide obtained by the formal condensation of arachidonic acid with 2-chloroethanamine. It is a potent agonist of the CB1 receptor (Ki = 1.4 nM) and also has a low affinity for the CB2 receptor (Ki = 3100 nM). It has a role as a CB1 receptor agonist, a neuroprotective agent and a CB2 receptor agonist. It is an organochlorine compound, a secondary carboxamide, a fatty amide and a synthetic cannabinoid. It is functionally related to an arachidonic acid.
