    Product Description

    Elaidamide is a fatty acid amide that has been found in the cerebrospinal fluid of sleep-deprived cats.1 It inhibits rat microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH; Ki = 70 nM).2 Elaidamide also inhibits porcine pancreatic and human synovial phospholipase A2 (PLA2).3 In vivo, elaidamide (10 mg/animal) induces physiological sleep in rats.1

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
