Abstract

In the present work, we have designed and synthesized a series of arachidonic acid derivatives of general structure I which have been characterized as highly potent and selective inhibitors of anandamide transporter (IC50= 24-0.8 μM, K i> 1000-5000 nM for CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors and vanilloid VR1 receptor). Among them, N-(3-furylmethyl) eicosa-5, 8, 11, 14-tetraenamide deserves special attention as being the most potent ...
