An endogenous CB neurotransmitter that binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors.

An endocannabinoid analog that does not bind to CB1, CB2, or TRPV1; at 5 mg/kg antagonizes the hypotensive effects of a 10 mg/kg IV bolus of abnormal cannabidiol (Abn-CBD) in an anesthetized rat blood pressure model; relaxes isolated rat mesenteric arteries and abdominal aorta, and increases the…

An internal standard for the quantification of DHA by GC- or LC-MS.

A DHA epoxygenase metabolite found in rat brain and spinal cord that acts as a preferred substrate for sEH (Km = 3.2 µM); demonstrates antihyperalgesic activity in inflammatory and neuropathic pain models and potently inhibits angiogenesis and tumor growth in in vitro assays.

11-trans LTD4 is a C-11 double bond isomer of LTD4. LTD4 undergoes slow temperature-dependent isomerization to 11-trans LTD4 during storage. 11-trans LTD4 retains about 10-25 % of the potency for contraction of guinea pig ileum, trachea and parenchyma compared to LTD4. It exhibits an ED50 ranging…

Spontaneously hypertensive rats fed a diet which includes γ-tocotrienol show significant reduction of systolic blood pressure and an increase of nitric oxide synthase activity in blood vessels. γ-Tocotrienol at 20 µM induces apoptosis of malignant sympathoadrenal (+SA) murine…

Oleyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine is an inhibitor of PLA2 with an IC₅₀ value of 6.2 µM for porcine pancreatic PLA2.

An internal standard for the quantification of 4-HNE mercapturic acid by GC- or LC-MS.

Cloprostenol is a synthetic PGF2α analog and a potent FP receptor agonist. (+)-15-epi Cloprostenol is the 15(S), or 15β-hydroxy enantiomer of (+)-cloprostenol. This epimer is less active by several orders of magnitude as an FP receptor ligand when compared to 15(R)-cloprostenol. However,…

A natural sesquiterpene that inhibits the proliferation of a wide range of tumors and enhances the effects of various chemotherapies; 10-40 µg/ml dose-dependently induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase in HepG2 cells, upregulating Fas/FasL expression.

An internal standard for the quantification of trans-resveratrol by GC- or LC-MS.

A “hybrid” analog which incorporates components of both the AEA-like and dopaminergic neurotransmitter pathways; is nearly inactive as a TRPV1 ligand and fails to elicit hyperalgesic or nocifensive responses in vivo; exhibits an “entourage” effect at concentrations of 0.1-10…

A natural monoacylglycerol that is metabolized by monoacylglycerol lipase; an agonist of GPR119 (EC₅₀ = 2.5 µM), stimulating the release of glucagon-like peptide-1 from intestinal L-cells.

8-iso PGE2 isopropyl ester is a more lipophilic form of the free acid, 8-iso PGE2. Prostaglandin esters have enhanced lipid solubility compared to their parent compounds. They are generally hydrolyzed to the free acid upon in vivo administration, making the esters useful prodrugs. In general, the…

A non-enzymatic hydrolysis product of LTA4 with reduced activity compared to LTB4; also produced by oxidative decomposition of CysLTs such as LTC4 in the presence of myeloperoxidase and hypochlorous acid.

15-OxoETE is produced by oxidation of the 15-hydroxyl of 15-HETE. Whether this is a major pathway of 15-HETE metabolism is yet to be clearly established.
