4-[[(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-1-Oxo-5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenyl]amino]butanoic acid

N-Arachidonoyl-GABA is one member of a new class of lipoamino acids related to anandamide identified in bovine brain. N-Arachidonoyl-GABA displays analgesic activity[1].

ChEBI: N-arachidonoyl-gamma-aminobutyric acid is an N-acyl-gamma-aminobutyric acid resulting from the formal condensation of the amino group of gamma-aminobutyric acid with the carboxy group of arachidonic acid. It has a role as a mammalian metabolite. It is a fatty amide and a N-acyl-gamma-aminobutyric acid. It is functionally related to an arachidonic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a N-arachidonoyl-gamma-aminobutyrate.

Arachidonyl amino acid; first isolated from bovine brain. Inhibits pain in vivo .
