pubmed-article:12467613 | pubmed:abstractText | Two regioisomers and 13 analogues of the putative endocannabinoid noladin ether (2-arachidonyl glyceryl ether, 2-AGE, 1) were synthesized and tested for their interaction with CB(1) receptors in rat brain membranes. The results showed that a C-20 tetra-unsaturated moiety is necessary for high affinity, and that a series of alkyl glyceryl ethers of potential occurrence in brain tissues have less affinity than 2-AGE for CB(1) receptors. | lld:pubmed |
