Arachidonoyl-2'-fluoroethylamide (2-fluoro AEA) is an analog of anandamide in which the alcohol of the ethanolamide group has been removed and replaced with a fluorine atom. This substitution adds considerably increased binding affinity for the CB receptor (Ks = 26.7 and 908 nM for CB and CB, respectively). It also contributes additional selectivity, in that binding to CB is decreased relative to AEA. However, the in vivo activity of 2-fluoro AEA is enhanced much less than the binding affinity, because the analog remains a good substrate for FAAH and is rapidly hydrolyzed by this enzyme.
Arachidonoyl-2'-Fluoroethylamide is an anandamide analog. Arachidonoyl-2'-Fluoroethylamide has the potential for the research of intraocular hypertension.
