N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-octadecanamide-18,18,18-d3

Stearoyl ethanolamide-d₃ is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of stearoyl ethanolamide by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry. Stearoyl ethanolamide is a member of the family of fatty N-acyl ethanolamines collectively called anandamides. Stearoyl ethanolamide is the most abundant of several fatty acid ethanolamides produced by the PLD hydrolysis of mouse neuroblastoma cell membrane phospholipids.¹ The specific role of stearoyl ethanolamide in the cannabinergic system is still to be elucidated.

Stearoylethanolamide-d3 (Ceamid-d3) is deuterium labeled Stearoylethanolamide. Stearoylethanolamide is an endocannabinoid-like compound with pro-apoptotic activity[1].
