Evidence That 2-Arachidonoylglycerol but Not N-Palmitoylethanolamine or Anandamide Is the Physiological Ligand for the Cannabinoid CB2 Receptor COMPARISON OF THE AGONISTIC ACTIVITIES OF VARIOUS CANNABINOID RECEPTOR LIGANDS IN HL-60 CELLS

TL;DR: 2-arachidonoylglycerol is the most potent compound among a number of naturally occurring cannabimimetic molecules, and anandamide and N-palmitoylethanolamine, other putative endogenous ligands, were found to be a weak partial agonist and an inactive ligand, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence That the Cannabinoid CB1 Receptor Is a 2-Arachidonoylglycerol Receptor STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIP OF 2-ARACHIDONOYLGLYCEROL, ETHER-LINKED ANALOGUES, AND RELATED COMPOUNDS

TL;DR: The results strongly suggested that the cannabinoid CB1 receptor is originally a 2-arachidonoylglycerol receptor, and 2-Arachidonoyslglycersol is the intrinsic physiological ligand for the cannabinoidCB1 receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient Synthesis of 2-Modified 1α,25-Dihydroxy-19-norvitamin D3 with Julia Olefination: High Potency in Induction of Differentiation on HL-60 Cells

TL;DR: The synthesized 2alpha-(3-hydroxypropyl)-1alpha,25-dihydroxy-19-norvitamin D(3) (8a) showed almost the same potency in binding to the bovine thymus vitamin D receptor (VDR) as the natural hormone 1, while its beta-isomer 8b had only a 3% affinity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ether-linked analogue of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (noladin ether) was not detected in the brains of various mammalian species

TL;DR: It is found that 2‐AG ether is not present, at least in an appreciable amount, in the rat brain by gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry analysis and fluorometric high performance liquid chromatography analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Probing a water channel near the A-ring of receptor-bound 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 with selected 2α-substituted analogues

TL;DR: In this paper, the crystal structures of the human VDR binding domain bound to selected C-2α substituted analogues, namely, methyl, propyl, propoxy, hydroxypropyl, and Hydroxypropoxy, were reported.
