Oleamide is an interesting compound, which shows various pharmacological activities including the inhibitory effect of gap junction formation. Recently, the studies of the gap junction have been some of the hot topics in biology and its inhibitors have become more useful tools [Cravatt, B. F.; Garcia, 0. P.; Siuzdak, G.; Gilula, N.

Sci. U.S.A. 1998,95,4810-4815; Ito, A.; Morita, N.; Miura, D.; Koma, Y; Kataoka, T. R.; Yamasaki, H.; Kitamura, Y.; Kita, Y; Nojima, H. Carcinogenesis 2004, 25, 2015-2022]. However, many reports suggest that the functionalizations of oleamide to retain its biological activity were difficult [Boger, D. L.; Patterson, J. E.; Guan, X.; Cravatt, B. E; Lerner, R. A.; Gilula, N. B. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 1998, 95, 4810-4815; Ito, A.; Morita, N.; Miura, D.; Koma, Y.; Kataoka, T. R.; Yamasaki, H.; Kitamura, Y.; Kita, Y; Nojima, H. Carcinogenesis 2004, 25, 2015-2022]. The synthesis of the functionalized oleamide derivatives, whose biological activity is not blocked, has become attractive in both the biological and chemical fields.Herein, by linking the fluorophore to the oleamide by alkyl chains, we synthesized the fluorescently tagged oleamide whose biological feature is similar to that of oleamide. Moreover, we also synthesized other bioactive derivatives tagged by other groups such as the sugars and biotin via alkyl chain linkers. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved,
