    Description: Arachidonylethanolamide, an arachidonic acid derivative in porcine brain, was identified in a screen for endogenous ligands for the cannabinoid receptor. The structure of this compound, which has been named "anandamide," was determined by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and was confirmed by synthesis. Anandamide inhibited the specific binding of a radiolabeled cannabinoid probe to synaptosomal membranes in a manner typical of competitive ligands and produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of the electrically evoked twitch response to the mouse vas deferens, a characteristic effect of psychotropic cannabinoids. These properties suggest that anandamide may function as a natural ligand for the cannabinoid receptor.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Devane, W A -- Hanus, L -- Breuer, A -- Pertwee, R G -- Stevenson, L A -- Griffin, G -- Gibson, D -- Mandelbaum, A -- Etinger, A -- Mechoulam, R -- DA 6481/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Dec 18;258(5090):1946-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Natural Products, Medical Faculty, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1470919" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Endocannabinoids have paradoxical effects on the mammalian nervous system: Sometimes they block neuronal excitability and other times they augment it. In their Perspective, Mechoulam and Lichtman discuss new work (Marsicano et al.) showing that activation of the cannabinoid receptor CB1 by the endocannabinoid anandamide protects against excitotoxic damage in a mouse model of kainic acid-induced epilepsy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mechoulam, R -- Lichtman, A H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Oct 3;302(5642):65-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Natural Products, Medical Faculty, Hebrew University, Jerusalem 91120, Israel. mechou@cc.huji.ac.il〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14526067" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Allergic contact dermatitis affects about 5% of men and 11% of women in industrialized countries and is one of the leading causes for occupational diseases. In an animal model for cutaneous contact hypersensitivity, we show that mice lacking both known cannabinoid receptors display exacerbated allergic inflammation. In contrast, fatty acid amide hydrolase-deficient mice, which have increased levels of the endocannabinoid anandamide, displayed reduced allergic responses in the skin. Cannabinoid receptor antagonists exacerbated allergic inflammation, whereas receptor agonists attenuated inflammation. These results demonstrate a protective role of the endocannabinoid system in contact allergy in the skin and suggest a target for therapeutic intervention.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Karsak, Meliha -- Gaffal, Evelyn -- Date, Rahul -- Wang-Eckhardt, Lihua -- Rehnelt, Jennifer -- Petrosino, Stefania -- Starowicz, Katarzyna -- Steuder, Regina -- Schlicker, Eberhard -- Cravatt, Benjamin -- Mechoulam, Raphael -- Buettner, Reinhard -- Werner, Sabine -- Di Marzo, Vincenzo -- Tuting, Thomas -- Zimmer, Andreas -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Jun 8;316(5830):1494-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Psychiatry, University of Bonn, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17556587" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
