N-acyl amino acids (NAAs) are amphiphilic molecules, with different potential fatty acid and
head group moieties. NAAs are the largest family of anandamide congener lipids discovered …

The myriad functions of lipids as signalling molecules is one of the most interesting fields in
contemporary pharmacology, with a host of compounds recognized as mediators of …

The subject of N-acyl amino acid conjugates has been rapidly growing in recent years,
especially with regard to their analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions. The field comprises a …

Discovery of the endogenous cannabinoid and N‐acyl amide, anandamide (N‐arachidonoyl
ethanolamine), paved the way for lipidomics discoveries in the growing family of N‐acyl …

Anandamide is a lipid neurotransmitter derived from arachidonic acid, a polyunsaturated
fatty acid. The chemical differences between anandamide and arachidonic acid result in a …

The lipid signal is becoming increasingly crowded as increasingly fatty acid amide
derivatives are being identified and considered relevant therapeutic targets. The …

The fatty acid amides are a family of lipids composed of two chemical moieties, a fatty acid
and a biogenic amine linked together in an amide bond. This lipid family is structurally …

Abstract N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), including N-palmitoylethanolamine (PEA), N-
oleoylethanolamine (OEA), N-arachidonoylethanolamine (AEA, anandamide), N …

Primary fatty acid amides (PFAMs) are a group of lipids that has been identified as bioactive
lipid signaling molecules. In this review we discuss the progress in identifying metabolism …

The identification of two biologically active fatty acid amides, N-arachidonoylethanolamine
(anandamide) and oleamide, has generated a great deal of excitement and stimulated …
