1 We have synthesized two analogs of N-arachidonylethanolamine (AEA), arachidonylcyclopropylamide (ACPA) and arachidonyl-2-chloroethylamide (ACEA), that bind to the CB1 receptor with very high affinity (KI values of 2.2 +/- 0.4 nM and 1.4 +/- 0.3 nM, respectively) and to the CB2 receptor with low affinity (KI values of 0.7 +/- 0.01 microM and 3.1 +/- 1.0 microM, respectively). aea cannabinoid receptor 1 Homo sapiens
2 Therefore, ACPA and ACEA are high-affinity agonists of the CB1 receptor but do not bind the CB2 receptor, suggesting that structural analogs of AEA can be designed with considerable selectivity for the CB1 receptor over the CB2 receptor. aea cannabinoid receptor 1 Homo sapiens
