Bioactivity | Linoleoyl ethanolamide (Linoleic acid monoethanolamide) is classified as a fatty acid ethanolamide. Linoleoyl ethanolamide only weakly binds G-protein-coupled cannabinoid receptors of type-1(CB1)and CB2 receptors, and inhibits the binding of [3H]CP-55,940 with Kis of 10 and 25 μM, respectively. Linoleoyl ethanolamide is 4-fold less potent than anandamide at causing catalepsy in mice and it does not prolong sleep time[1][2]. |
Invitro | Linoleoyl ethanolamide competitively inhibits the hydrolysis of anandamide and may be involved in the regulation of food intake by selective prolongation of feeding latency and post-meal interval[3]. |
In Vivo | Linoleoyl ethanolamide (0.1 mg-0.2 mg; challenged by painting the inner and outer surfaces of both sides of their ears) suppresses DNFB-induced ear swelling in BALB/c mice[3]. |
