179113-91-8 Usage
Description
Arachidonoyl glycine (N-arachidonyl glycine; NAGly) has been isolated from cell cultures treated with arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA; anandamide), from extracts of mammalian brain, and has also been synthesized as an analog of AEA for structure/activity testing. NAGly may be produced endogenously via oxidation of AEA, or by transacylation of arachidonoyl CoA. NAGly is reported to have analgesic activities in whole animal experiments. Since it seems to be a very poor ligand for the CB1 receptor, these effects are probably mediated via other signaling pathways.
Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 179113-91-8 differently. You can refer to the following data:

2. An endogenous anandamide-like compound; also acts as a T-type Ca2+ channel blocker and an endogenous GLYT2 inhibitor.
Biological Activity
Endogenous anandamide-like compound. Lacks affinity for CB 1 receptors (K i > 10 μ M), VR1 receptors (EC 50 > 10 μ M) and anandamide transporters (IC 50 > 50 μ M) but causes hot-plate analgesia in mice when given orally, and suppresses tonic inflammatory pain. Also endogenous GlyT2 inhibitor.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 179113-91-8 includes 9 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 6 digits, 1,7,9,1,1 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 1 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 179113-91:
(8*1)+(7*7)+(6*9)+(5*1)+(4*1)+(3*3)+(2*9)+(1*1)=148
148 % 10 = 8
So 179113-91-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Several classes of biologically occurring fatty acid amides have been reported from mammalian and plant sources. Many amides conjugated with fatty acids of mammalian origin exhibit specific activation of individual receptors. Their potential as pharmacological tools or as lead compounds towards the development of novel therapeutics is of great interest. Hence, access to such amides by a practical, high-yielding and scalable protocol without affecting the geometry or position of sensitive functionalities is needed. A protocol that meets all these requirements involves activation of the corresponding acid with carbonyl diimidazole (CDI) followed by reaction with the desired amine or its hydrochloride. More than fifty compounds have been prepared in generally high yields.
