The endocannabinoids present a rich system of central cannabinoid (CB1), peripheral cannabinoid (CB2), and non-CB receptor-mediated pharmacology that has stimulated research in many fields including memory, weight loss and appetite, neurodegeneration, tumor surveillance, analgesia, and inflammation.[1][2] Arachidoyl ethanolamide is one of the saturated fatty acyl ethanolamides devoid of classical (CB1/CB2) activity. Arachidoyl ethanolamide does not bind to the murine CB1 receptor [3] and does not compete with anandamide as a substrate for the endocannabinoid hydrolytic enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase. [4] Non-CB receptor-mediated pharmacology of the saturated ethanolamides is still being elucidated.[5]
