MAFP

Description:
MAFP, or methyl arachidonyl fluorophosphonate, is a synthetic chemical compound known for its role as a potent inhibitor of the enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). This inhibition leads to increased levels of endocannabinoids, which can have various physiological effects, including analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. MAFP is characterized by its fluorophosphonate group, which contributes to its reactivity and specificity towards serine residues in the active site of FAAH. The compound is typically used in biochemical research to study endocannabinoid signaling pathways and the physiological roles of fatty acid amides. Due to its potent biological activity, MAFP is handled with care in laboratory settings, and its use is often restricted to research purposes. As with many synthetic compounds, understanding its safety profile, including potential toxicity and environmental impact, is crucial for responsible handling and application in scientific studies.
