Anandamide, an endocannabinoid neurotransmitter, acts as a ligand of the cannabinoid receptors. It possesses anti-proliferative effect which was accompanied by a reduction of cells in the S phase of the cell cycle. Anandamide also possesses the positive effects on eating behavior and motivation in mice. Recently was discovered, that anandamide reduced cryocapacitation and improved post-thaw sperm quality in the water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis).

Sample Use Guides

male mice pups were treated with a daily oral dose of anandamide (AEA) 20 μg/g body weight during lactation. Adult mice were also treated with a single oral dose of AEA, to evaluate acute food intake during 4 h. At 21 and 160 days, CB1R protein abundance was calculated by western blot analysis.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Anandamide inhibits human breast cancer cell proliferation. Anandamide dose-dependently inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 and EFM-19 cells with IC50 values between 0.5 and 1.5 microM and 83-92% maximal inhibition at 5-10 microM. The proliferation of several other non-mammary tumoral cell lines was not affected by 10 microM anandamide. The anti-proliferative effect of anandamide was not due to toxicity or to apoptosis of cells but was accompanied by a reduction of cells in the S phase of the cell cycle.
