surfaces treated with the synthetic amides or an untreated control. N-(3-methylbutyl)amides and N-(2-methylpropyl)amides of C14 through C18 fattyacids did not deter leafhopper settling in a dose-dependent fashion. In contrast, when tested singly, N-(3-methylbutyl)amide of linoleic acid exhibited dose-dependent deterrence against leafhopper settling. Fattyacidamides localized in alfalfa glandular trichomes
The present invention describes compounds deriving from chemical reactions between saturated or monounsaturated acyl derivatives and primary amines or primary alcohols that display specific cannabinoid-like pharmacological activity without exhibiting the central unwanted side effects typical of synthetic cannabinoids or endocannabinoids acting on central cannabinoid (CB1) receptors. These compounds, having this pharmacological activity, may be utilised to prevent or to treat pathological conditions and diseases in mammals, including human subjects, that may undergo a clinical improvement upon their administration.
