Abstract

A new series of arachidonic acid derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of the endocannabinoid uptake. Most of them are able to inhibit anandamide uptake with IC50 values in the low micromolar range (IC50= 0.8-24 μM). In general, the compounds had only weak effects upon CB1, CB2, and VR1 receptors (K i> 1000-10000 nM). In addition, there was no obvious relationship between the abilities of the compounds to affect anandamide ...
