(R)-(+)-Eicosapentaenyl-1'-Hydroxy-2'-Propylamide

R-(+)-Eicosapentaenyl-1’-hydroxy-2’-propylamide is a homolog of EPEA, characterized by the addition of an (R)-α-methyl group at the methylene carbon adjacent to the amide nitrogen. A similar modification of arachidonoyl ethanolamide (Item No. 90050) to produce R-1 methanandamide (Item No. 90070) imparts higher affinity for the CB receptor as well as improved metabolic stability.1 The physiological actions of this compound have not been evaluated.WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
