faah-in-2

FAAH-IN-2 (O-Desmorpholinopropyl Gefitinib) is a potent inhibitor of FAAH (fatty acid amide hydrolase).

FAAH MAGL-IN-2, a potent and reversible inhibitor of FAAH and MAGL, demonstrates oral activity and the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. It exhibits IC50 values of 11 nM for FAAH and 36 nM for MAGL (Ki values of 28 nM and 60 nM, respectively). This compound shows promise for neuropathic pain research, without impairing locomotion [1].

CB2R FAAH modulator-2 (compound 26) is a dual modulator targeting CB2R and FAAH, acting as a CB2R agonist (Ki = 10.8 nM) and FAAH inhibitor (IC50 = 6.2 μM), with a Ki value of 152.9 nM for CB1R. It has research value in cancer, deleterious inflammatory cascades in neurodegenerative diseases, and COVID-19 infection.

FAAH Inhibitor 2 (Compound 17b) is an irreversible inhibitor of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), demonstrating an IC50 value of 0.153 μM [1].

CB2R FAAH modulator-1, a cannabinoid type 2 receptor (CB2R) agonist, is also a fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibitor (IC50=4 μM) that reduces the production of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and is commonly used in inflammation studies. The Kis for CB2R and CB1R are 14.8 nM and 241.3 nM, respectively.

KML29 is highly selective and effective monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) inhibitor. It has effective inhibition of human/mouse/rat MAGL (IC50: 5.9/15/43 nM). It has not inhibitory for FAAH (IC50 > 50 μM). It also effectively and selectively blocks hydrolysis of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) in mice (IC50: 2.5 nM, 2-AG; >50 μM, AEA).

Arachidonoyl 2-chloroethylamide (ACEA) is a potent and selective cannabinoid (CB) receptor 1 agonist with Ki values of 1.4 and >2,000 nM for CB1 and CB2 receptors, respectively. In whole animal experiments, ACEA induces hypothermia in mice with the same efficacy as arachidonoyl ethanolamide , in spite of its higher affinity for the CB1 receptor. These data have been interpreted to indicate that ACEA may be a substrate for fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), and thus only transiently available in whole animal experiments.

N-(1-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)propan-2-yl)oleamide binds to the cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptor with a Ki value of 365 nM in a radioligand binding assay using rat brain homogenate. It has an EC50 value of 698 nM for the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) in a luciferase reporter assay and, in rats, it decreases food intake. It does not inhibit fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH).

URB754 is a potent and noncompetitive inhibitor of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), exhibiting an IC50 value of 200 nM for the recombinant rat brain enzyme. However, it does not inhibit human recombinant, rat brain, or mouse brain MAGL at concentrations up to 100 μM. There is evidence that the MAGL inhibitory activity of URB754 may be attributed to the impurity bis(methylthio)mercurane (IC50 = 11.9 nM for rat recombinant MAGL) that is found in commercial preparations. URB754 inhibits rat brain fatty acyl amide hydrolase (FAAH) with an IC50 value of 32 μM and binds weakly to the rat central cannabinoid (CB1) receptor with an IC50 value of 3.8 μM. It does not inhibit COX-1 or COX-2 at concentrations up to 100 μM. Inhibition of MAGL hydrolysis of 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) is associated with enhanced stress-induced analgesia and may represent a novel drug target in pain and stress management.

JZL 184 is a potent and selective inhibitor of MAGL with IC50 of 8 nM and 4 μM for inhibition of MAGL and FAAH in mouse brain membranes respectively.

Orlistat-d3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of orlistat by GC- or LC-MS. Orlistat is a digestive lipase inhibitor. It inhibits diacylglycerol lipase α (DAGLα), DAGLβ, α/β-hydrolase domain-containing protein 12 (ABHD12), ABHD16A, and platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH; IC50s = 0.06, 0.1, 0.08, 0.03, and 0.05 µM, respectively), as well as pancreatic lipase and hormone-sensitive lipase (IC50s = 0.65 and 2.1 µg/ml, respectively) but does not inhibit fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) or KIAA1363 (IC50s = >100 µM for both). Orlistat decreases ionomycin-induced production of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) in N18TG2 murine neuroblastoma cells when used at a concentration of 1 µM. It also inhibits fatty acid synthase (FASN; Kiapp = ~0.1 µM for the human enzyme) and the proliferation of PC3 prostate cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Orlistat (10 mg/kg) decreases serum cholesterol levels and total bod......

Anandamide (arachidonoyl ethanolamide; AEA) is an endogenous lipid with cannabinergic activity; along with 2-arachidonoyl glycerol, it forms part of the endocannabinoid system. AEA undergoes reuptake into neurons by a facilitated process. Controversy exists as to whether there is a specific AEA transporter, or instead the uptake process is simply driven by hydrolysis of AEA by intracellular fatty acyl amide hydrolase (FAAH). CAY10412 is an analog of AEA that has no intrinsic binding affinity for either CB1 or CB2 receptors. It is a potent inhibitor of AEA reuptake in U937 lymphoma cells, with an IC50 of 3 μM. CAY10412 could be a useful tool for distinguishing the competing transporter theories. The pharmacology of CAY10412 is largely unexplored; it may enhance endocannabinoid signalling by augmenting endocannabinoid concentrations.

Orlistat (Tetrahydrolipstatin) is a lipase inhibitor and a fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitor. Orlistat has been shown to promote weight loss.
