Synthesis, In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation, and Radiolabeling of Aryl Anandamide Analogues as Candidate Radioligands for In Vivo Imaging of Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase in the Brain
摘要:
Fatty acid amide hydrolyase (FAAH) is one of the main enzymes responsible for terminating the signaling of endocannabinoids in the brain. Imaging FAAH in vivo using PET or SPECT is important to deeper understanding of its role in neuropsychiatric disorders. However, at present, no radioligand is available for mapping the enzyme in vivo. Here, we synthesized 18 aryl analogues of anandamide, FAAH's endogenous substrate, and in vitro evaluated their potential as metabolic trapping tracers. Interaction studies with recombinant FAAH revealed good to very good interaction of the methoxy substituted aryl anandamide analogues 17, 18, 19, and 20 with FAAH and they were identified as competing substrates, Compounds 17 and 18 did not display significant binding to CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors and stand out as potential candidate metabolic trapping tracers. They were successfully labeled with C-11 in good yields and high radiochemical purity and displayed brain uptake in C57BL/6J mice. Radioligands [C-11]-17 and [C-11]-18 merit further investigation in vivo.

Termitomycamides A to E, Fatty Acid Amides Isolated from the Mushroom <i>Termitomyces titanicus</i>, Suppress Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress
Five fatty acid amides, termitomycamides A to E (1 to 5), were isolated from the giant edible mushroom Termitomyces titanicus. The structures of 1-5 were determined by the interpretation of spectral data and/or synthesis. Compounds 2 and 5 showed protective activity against endoplasmic reticulum stress-dependent cell death.

The present invention relates to a method for screening of compounds or molecules that undergo conjugation with fatty acids present in a mammal body, including humans, whereby a compound to be tested is brought into contact with a fatty acid together with a tissue homogenate or an enzyme, whereupon any conjugation between the compound and any fatty acid present in said homogenate is determined with regard to presence of fatty acid amides, esters or thioesters, as well as a kit for conjugation of such compounds or molecules with fatty acids.
