OMDM169 is a potent and selective MAGL inhibitor. OMDM169 could enhances 2-AG levels and of exerts analgesic activity via indirect activation of cannabinoid receptors. OMDM169 exhibited 0.13 microMing activities in
N-Acyl ethanolamines (NAEs) have diverse biological actions that are strongly affected by the associated acyl group. Docosahexaenoyl ethanolamide (DHEA) has potential signaling roles in cancer, inflammation, and neurological development and functioning. At least some of DHEA's effects are mediated through cannabinoid (CB) receptors, while some NAEs also act as vanilloid receptor agonists and voltage-gated K+ channel blockers. (R)-(+)-Docosahexaenyl-1'-hydroxy-2'-propylamide is a homolog of DHEA, characterized by the addition of an (R)-α-methyl group at the methylene carbon adjacent to the amide nitrogen. A similar modification of arachidonoyl ethanolamide to produce R-1 methanandamide imparts higher affinity for the CB receptor as well as improved metabolic stability. The physiological actions of this compound have not been evaluated.
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.
GAT229 is a positive allosteric modulator of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) and the S-(-) enantiomer of the CB1 modulator GAT211. It does not activate the receptor on its own but enhances the binding and activity of CB agonists. GAT229 (1 μM) enhances the binding of the CB1 full agonist CP 55,940 to CHO cells expressing human recombinant CB1 (hCB1), as well as the activity of 2-arachidonoyl glycerol , arachidonoyl ethanolamide , and CP 55,940 in arrestin2 recruitment assays and increases ERK1 2 and PLCβ3 phosphorylation in HEK293 cells expressing hCB1. GAT229 (1 μM) enhances depolarization-induced suppression of excitation but does not inhibit excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) in murine autaptic hippocampal neurons. GAT229 (0.2%, topical) reduces intraocular pressure by 5.8 and 7.7 mm Hg after 6 and 12 hours, respectively, in a transgenic mouse model of ocular hypertension using nose, ear, eye mutation (nee) mice.
Telaglenastat (CB-839) hydrochloride is a first-in-class, reversible, and orally active inhibitor of glutaminase 1 (GLS1). It selectively inhibits the splice variants of GLS1, specifically KGA (kidney-type glutaminase) and GAC (glutaminase C), as compared to GLS2. Telaglenastat hydrochloride has an IC50 of 23 nM for endogenous glutaminase in mouse kidney and 28 nM in the brain. In addition, it induces autophagy and exhibits antitumor activity.
