PALMITOYLISOPROPYLAMIDE

Uses

An inhibitor of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). pIC50=4.89 for inhibition of [3H]-anandamide metabolism. Displays little binding to CB1 and CB2 receptors (IC50>100uM) and very weakly blocks ananadamide uptake (IC50~100uM). Inhibits proliferation of C6 glioma cells.
