Arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA, Cay-90050) was the first endogenous cannabinoid (CB) to be isolated and characterized as an agonist acting on the same receptors (CB1 and CB2) as THC. Since that time, a number of related endocannabinoids have been isolated, most notably 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (Cay-62160)....

Zalcitabine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI). It is phosphorylated intracellularly to its active form zalcitabine-5'-triphosphate by the successive actions of deoxycytidine kinase, deoxycytidine monophosphate kinase, and nucleoside diphosphate kinase. Zalcitabine reduces the replication of...

2-Hydroxyestradiol (2-HE2) is a cytochrome P450 metabolite of estradiol with low affinity for estrogen receptors. 2-HE is rapidly metabolized by catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) to form 2-methoxy estradiol (2-ME2) with a half-life of approximately ten minutes in rat. 2-ME2 has achieved considerable attention as...

The transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) receptor is a nonselective cation channel gated by noxious heat, protons, and capsaicin. TRPV1 is present in primary sensory neurons and in both central and peripheral sensory nerve terminals and plays a role in thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia. SB-366791...
