Description

Arachidonyl glycine, the conjugate of arachidonic acid and glycine produced in mammalian brain, skin, and spinal cord, is a structural analog of anandamide (AEA) that is reported to have analgesic activities in whole animal experiments.^1,2,3 It has poor affinity for the central cannabinoid (CB₁) receptor, high-affinity for the G protein-coupled receptor GPR-18, and is metabolically regulated by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) activity.⁴ LinGly is an endogenous homolog of linoleoyl ethanolamide, an arachidonyl glycine. It inhibits the hydrolysis of AEA in FAAH-containing N18TG2 cell membranes with an IC₅₀ value of ~25 µM, which is less potent than that of arachidonyl glycine (IC₅₀ = 7 µM).³ The biological significance of LinGly has not yet been determined.
