Novel aromatic analogues of N-oleoylethanolamine and N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide, AEA) were synthesized and, based on the capability of similar compounds to interact with proteins of the endocannabinoid and endovanilloid signaling systems, were

A new series of arachidonic and oleic acids derivatives, most of which with aromatic moieties in the head group region, has been synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of anandamide uptake. A new series of anandamide and N-oleoylethanolamine analogs, most of which with aromatic moieties in the head group region, has been synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of anandamide uptake. Some of them efficaciously inhibit the uptake process with Ki values in the low micromolar range (2.4-21.2 μM). Strict structural requisites are needed to observe a significant inhibition and in no case inhibition of fatty acid amidohydrolase overlaps with inhibition of anandamide uptake.
