(±)19(20)-EDP ethanolamide is an ω-3 endocannabinoid epoxide and cannabinoid (CB) receptor agonist (EC50s = 108 and 280 nM for CB1 and CB2, respectively). It is produced through direct epoxygenation of docosahexaenoyl ethanolamide by cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases. (±)19(20)-EDP ethanolamide (25 μM) reduces the viability of 143B metastatic osteosarcoma cells. It decreases the production of IL-6 and increases the production of IL-10 when used at concentrations ranging from 2.5 to 10 μM in BV-2 microglia stimulated by LPS and decreases LPS-induced cytotoxicity when used at concentrations ranging from 5 to 10 μM. It also decreases nitrite production when used at a concentration of 7.5 μM, an effect that can be partially reversed by the CB2 receptor antagonist AM630 and the PPARγ antagonist GW 9662 . (±)19(20)-EDP ethanolamide induces vasodilation of isolated preconstricted bovine coronary arteries (ED50 = 1.9 μM) and reduces tube formation by human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs) in a Matrigel assay.
(±)17(18)-EpETE-Ethanolamide, an ω-3 endocannabinoid epoxide, originates from eicosapentaenoic ethanolamide (EPEA) through cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases action and is decomposed by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FA, AH). Its endogenous synthesis occurs in LPS-stimulated and EPEA-supplemented BV-2 microglia cells, a process inhibited by the CYP inhibitor ketoconazole. This compound mitigates IL-6 and nitrite levels while enhancing IL-10 production following LPS exposure in BV-2 microglia. At a dose of 50 µM, it prevents platelet aggregation caused by arachidonic acid but not that triggered by ADP, collagen, or ristocetin. Additionally, it facilitates the dilation of constricted bovine coronary arteries (ED50= 1.1 µM) and blocks VEGF-driven tubulogenesis in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs).
