    Product Description

    Numerous analogs of arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA, anandamide; Item No. 90050) potentiate its biological activity.1 This potentiation is ascribed either to inhibition of AEA reuptake into neurons, or inhibition of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) within the neurons.2 OMDM-2 is an endocannabinoid analog specifically designed to be a potent and selective inhibitor of the cellular uptake of AEA.3 Structurally, OMDM-2 is the amide of (R)-tyrosinol with oleic acid. In RBL-2H3 cells, OMDM-2 inhibits the cellular uptake of tritiated AEA with an IC50 of 3 µM, with negligible effects on the CB1 receptor and VR1.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
