Common Namealpha-Linolenoyl ethanolamide
DescriptionAlpha-Linolenoyl ethanolamide, also known as alpha-lea or alea compound, 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, Alpha-linolenoyl ethanolamide is considered to be a fatty amide lipid molecule. N-oleoylethanolamine is an inhibitor of the sphingolipid signaling pathway, via specific ceramidase inhibition (ceramidase converts ceramide to sphingosine). Alpha-Linolenoyl ethanolamide is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Transient NAE release and accumulation has been attributed a variety of biological activities, including neurotransmission, membrane protection, and immunomodulation in animals. N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) constitute a class of lipid compounds naturally present in both animal and plant membranes as constituents of the membrane-bound phospholipid, N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE). NAPE is composed of a third fatty acid moiety linked to the amino head group of the commonly occurring membrane phospholipid, phosphatidylethanolamine. Alpha-Linolenoyl ethanolamide is a N-acylethanolamine.
