ACEA Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden

• Beschreibung

  Arachidonoyl 2-chloroethylamide (ACEA) is a potent and selective cannabinoid (CB) receptor 1 agonist with K_i values of 1.4 and >2,000 nM for CB₁ and CB₂ receptors, respectively. In whole animal experiments, ACEA induces hypothermia in mice with the same efficacy as arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA; ), in spite of its higher affinity for the CB₁ receptor. These data have been interpreted to indicate that ACEA may be a substrate for fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), and thus only transiently available in whole animal experiments.

• Verwenden

  A synthetic agonist of the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R). ACEA is considered to be a selective cannabinoid agonist as it binds primarily to the CB1R and has low affinity to the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R).

• 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.

• Biologische Aktivität

  Potent and highly selective CB 1 receptor agonist (K i = 1.4 nM). Displays > 1400-fold selectivity over CB 2 receptors. Active in vivo . Also available as part of the Cannabinoid CB 1 Receptor Tocriset™ .

• Biochem/physiol Actions

  Potent and selective neuronal CB1 cannabinoid receptor agonist.

• Enzyminhibitor

  This synthetic CB1 receptor agonist and anandamide (N- arachidonylethanolamide) analogue (FW = 365.99 g/mol; CAS 220556-69-4; Symbol: ACEA) is a selective agonist of cannabinoid receptor-1 (Ki = 1.4 nM) but has low affinity to the cannabinoid receptor 2 (Ki = 3.1 μM). ACEA inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing the human CB1 receptor. It also increases the binding of [ 35 S]GTPgS to cerebellar membranes and inhibits electrically evoked contractions of the mouse vas deferens. ACEA produces hypothermia in mice, an effect that is inhibited by co-administration of the CB1 receptor antagonist SR141716A.
