Description

Anandamide is an endogenous cannabinoid that binds to the CB1 receptor, which is a G protein-coupled receptor. Anandamide has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes and in hl-60 cells. It also inhibits the production of proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) by human monocytes. Anandamide has been shown to have a biochemical property of binding to the response element and inhibiting dna binding activity in HL-60 cells. The endocannabinoid system is involved in bowel disease and may be a target for future therapeutic agents. This endocannabinoid can bind to receptors on cells and act as a chemical messenger, which may be involved in the regulation of pain, mood, memory, appetite, and other functions.
