Beschreibung

General description

The endogenous cannabinoid system is comprised of two cannabinoid-receptor subtypes (CB1 and CB2 endocannabinoids (endogenous agonists of the receptors), and other supporting proteins.[1] This system is involved in brain neuromodulation and has been reported to affect physiological processes such as appetite, pain, and movement, as well as others. Arachidonoyl Dopamine (AA-DA) is the amide of the neurotransmitter bioactive amine, dopamine, and the polyunsaturated fatty acid, arachidonic acid. AA-DA displays cannabimimetic activity in vitro and in vivo, has been shown to activate the CB1 receptor, and is a ligand for the endogenous VR1 vanilloid receptor.

Application

Used in studies of the endogenous cannabinoid system.

Biochem/physiol Actions

AA-DA competitively inhibits fatty acid amide hydrolase (IC50 = approx. 22 μM) from N18TG2 neuroblastoma cells and inhibits binding (K_i = 0.25 μM) of the selective cannabinoid receptor subtype 1 (CB1) ligand, [³H]SR141716A, to rat brain membrane. AA-DA also inhibits the anandamide membrane transporter in BL-2H3 basophilic leukemia and C6 glioma cells.[1] AA-DA has at least a 40 fold greater selectivity for CB1 than CB2 receptors in rat brain membranes and has been shown to be more potent than anandamide as a CB1 agonist in undifferentiated N18TG2 neuroblastoma cells. AA-DA induces hypothermia and immobility, and decreases spontaneous activity and pain perception in mice and rats, which supports its action as a CB₁ agonist in vivo.[1][2] AA-DA has been shown to inhibit (IC50 = 0.25 μM) proliferation of human breast MCF-7 cancer cells.
