Description

Arachidonoyl chloride is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of amides. It is used in biological studies for receptor binding and enzyme activities. Arachidonoyl chloride has been shown to inhibit insulin sensitivity by inhibiting the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues on insulin receptors, which are necessary for glucose transport into cells. The acyl chain of arachidonoyl chloride has a polyunsaturated fatty acid structure with two double bonds, which is important for its activity on the 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) pathway. The activation energy of arachidonoyl chloride is not yet known.
