Endocannabinoids are a class of fatty acid derivatives defined by their ability to interact with the specific cannabinoid receptors that were originally identified as the targets of Delta9-tetrahydocannabinol (Delta9-THC), the psychoactive component of cannabis. Endocannabinoids have been implicated in a

Anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) are the two main endocannabinoids, exerting their effects by activating type 1 (CB1r) and type 2 (CB2r) cannabinoid receptors. Anandamide inhibits anxiety-like responses through the activation of CB1r in certain brain regions, including the dorsolateral periaqueductal

2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is a unique molecular species of monoacylglycerol isolated in 1995 from rat brain and canine gut as an endogenous ligand for the cannabinoid receptors. 2-AG is rapidly formed from arachidonic acid-containing phospholipids through increased phospholipid metabolism, such as

Anandamide (arachidonylethanolamide), isolated from the porcine brain, and 2-arachidonyl-glycerol (2-Ara-Gl), derived from the canine gut, are two recently identified putative endogenous cannabinoid receptor ligands. Both ligands have been reported to possess binding affinity for cannabinoid receptor subtypes, CB1 and CB2.

2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous cannabinoid with central antinociceptive properties. Its degradation is catalysed by monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) whose activity is inhibited by URB602, a new synthetic compound. The peripheral antinociceptive effects of 2-AG and URB602 in an inflammatory
