2-Arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous ligand that binds to both central cannabinoid (CB1) and peripheral cannabinoid (CB2) receptors and is involved in the regulation of a broad range of neurotransmitter signalling functions with implications in neurodegenerative diseases, pain, cancer, and obesity.{15051} Levels of this endocannabinoid are regulated by hydrolysis to glycerol and arachidonic acid by the enzyme monoacylglycerol lipase. O-Arachidonoyl glycidol is a 2-arachidonoyl glycerol analog that blocks 2-oleoyl glycerol hydrolysis in the cytosolic and membrane fractions of rat cerebella with IC50 values of 4.5 and 19 µM, respectively.{15051} O-Arachidonoyl glycidol inhibits fatty acid amide hydrolase-catalyzed hydrolysis of arachidonoyl ethanolamide in the membrane fraction of rat cerebella with an IC50 value of 12 µM.{15051}
