Description: O-Arachidonoyl glycidol (compound 1), a 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) analog, effectively inhibits the hydrolysis of cytosolic 2-oleoylglycerol (2-OG) with an IC50 value of 4.5 µM, and also blocks 2-OG and anandamide hydrolysis in membrane fractions with IC50 values of 19 µM and 12 µM, respectively [1]....

2-Arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous ligand that binds to both central cannabinoid (CB1) and peripheral cannabinoid (CB2) receptors and is involved in the regulation of a broad range of neurotransmitter signalling functions with implications in neurodegenerative diseases, pain, cancer, and obesity.
