AM 404 (in Tocrisolve 100)
Chemical Name:N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenamide
Biological Activity:
Competitive and selective inhibitor of carrier-mediated anandamide
transport (IC50 = 1 μM), in water-soluble
emulsion (for details see Cat. No. 1684). Does not activate CB1
receptors or inhibit anandamide hydrolysis but has been shown to activate
native and cloned vanilloid receptors (pEC50 = 7.4). Active in vivo.
Also available as solid (Cat. No. 1116).
