Cayman N-Cyclohexanecarbonyltetradecylamine; Purity- Greater Than

Numerous analogs of fatty acyl ethanolamides potentiate the intrinsic biological activity of endocannabinoids. This potentiation is ascribed either to inhibition of AEA reuptake into neurons, or inhibition of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) within the neurons. However, Ueda, et al. has recently cloned another amidase, the acidic PEAase that promotes the hydrolysis of palmitoylethanolamide. N-Cyclohexanecarbonyltetradecylamine is an analog of N-cyclohexanecarbonyl-pentadecylamine, a selective inhibitor of acidic PEAase with an IC₅₀ value of 4.5 µM, that contains 1 less carbon in the alkyl chain. The biological activity of N-cyclohexanecarbonyltetradecylamine has not been documented.
