Common Name(5z,8z,11z,14z)-n-(2-hydroxyethyl)icosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenimidic acid
DescriptionAnandamide, also known as AEA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acylethanolamines. N-acylethanolamines are compounds containing an N-acyethanolamine moiety, which is characterized by an acyl group is linked to the nitrogen atom of ethanolamine. Thus, anandamide is considered to be a fatty amide lipid molecule. Anandamide is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. (5z,8z,11z,14z)-n-(2-hydroxyethyl)icosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenimidic acid is found in Homo sapiens. (5z,8z,11z,14z)-n-(2-hydroxyethyl)icosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenimidic acid was first documented in 1996 (PMID: 8814296). An N-(polyunsaturated fatty acyl)ethanolamine resulting from the formal condensation of carboxy group of arachidonic acid with amino group of ethanolamine (PMID: 15047233) (PMID: 15797258) (PMID: 15997233).
