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

(R)-(−)-Eicosapentaenyl-2’-hydroxy-1’-propylamide is a homolog of EPEA, characterized by the addition of an (R)-β-methyl group at the terminal ethanolamine carbon. A similar modification of arachidonoyl ethanolamide (Item No. 90050) to produce R-2 methanandamide (Item No. 90074) imparts diminished affinity for the CB receptor as well as reduced metabolic stability.1 The physiological actions of this compound have not been evaluated.WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
