AM 404
Chemical Name: N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenamide
Purity: ≥98%
Biological Activity
AM 404 is a competitive and selective inhibitor of carrier-mediated anandamide transport (IC50 = 1 μM). Does not activate CB1 receptors or inhibit anandamide hydrolysis but has been shown to activate native and cloned vanilloid receptors (pEC50 = 7.4). Also FABP inhibitor. Active in vivo.Technical Data
