N-<wbr></wbr>Acyl ethanolamines (NAEs) have diverse biological actions that are strongly affected by the associated acyl group. Eicosapentaenoyl ethanolamide (EPEA) has potential signaling roles in aging, cancer, inflammation, and neurological development. At least some of EPEA’s effects are mediated through cannabinoid (CB) receptors, while some NAEs also act as vanilloid receptor agonists. R-<wbr></wbr>(+)-<wbr></wbr>Eicosapentaenyl-<wbr></wbr>1’-<wbr></wbr>hydroxy-<wbr></wbr>2’-<wbr></wbr>propylamide is a homolog of EPEA, characterized by the addition of an (R)-<wbr></wbr>α-<wbr></wbr>methyl group at the methylene carbon adjacent to the amide nitrogen. A similar modification of arachidonoyl ethanolamide (Item No. 90050) to produce R-<wbr></wbr>1 methanandamide (Item No. 90070) imparts higher affinity for the CB receptor as well as improved metabolic stability. The physiological actions of this compound have not been evaluated.
