Arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA) was the first endogenous cannabinoid to be isolated and characterized as an agonist acting on the same receptors (CB1 and CB2) as tetrahydrocannabinols (THC).{1134,2713} Since that time, a number of related endocannabinoids have been isolated, most notably 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG).{5306} O-Arachidonoyl ethanolamine hydrochloride (O-AEA) is a recently isolated constituent of human and rat brain wherein the ethanolamine moiety is attached “backwards”, as an ester instead of an amide, as in AEA.{1134,2713,9804} O-AEA has mixed agonist/antagonist activity at the CB1 receptor and does not appear to be the native endogenous cannabinoid agonist at this receptor. This is in keeping with other observations that 2-AG is the primary endogenous CB1 receptor ligand.{7182}

The maintenance of embryonic stem cells in culture typically requires feeder cells and various exogenous factors found in serum. Murine embryonic stem (mES) cells can be maintained in the absence of feeder cells and serum but require the leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) and bone morphogenic protein (BMP) to prevent differentiation and promote self-renewal. SC-1 is a small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state.{14533} The activity of SC-1 is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM, respectively.{14533} Inhibition of RasGAP increases Ras signaling via the PI3-kinase pathway which promotes self-renewal, whereas inhibition of ERK blocks differentiation.

The PtdIn phosphates play an important role in the generation and transduction of intracellular signals.{8344,4096,14518} PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin is an affinity probe which allows the PIP3 to be detected through an interaction with the biotin ligand. This design allows PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin to serve as a general probe for any protein with a high affinity binding interaction with inositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate phospholipids, such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, PTEN, or PH-domain-containing proteins.
