| Bioactivity | Anandamide is an endocannabinoid. Anandamide modulates both neuronal and immune functions through two protein-coupled cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2). Anandamide can activate numerous other receptors like PPARS, TRPV1, and GPR18/GPR55. Anandamide also has potential anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory activities. Anandamide can be used for the research of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and ulcerative colitis[1][2][3][4][5]. |
| Invitro | Anandamide (0-250 μg/ml, 1 h) inhibits C. albicans hyphal growth and prevents hyphal adherence to epithelial cells[4].Anandamide (0-250 μg/ml, 2 h) alters the expression of genes involved in adhesion and hyphal morphogenesis[4].Anandamide reduces tau phosphorylation through the inhibition of the activity of protein kinases[3].
