Application

JZL 184 hydrate has been used as an inhibitor of monoacylglycerol lipase to study its effect on human osteoblast differentiation and proliferation and postsynaptic neurons.

Biochem/physiol Actions

JZL184 selectively inhibits MAGL, the enzyme predominantly responsible for the degradation of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). Anandamide and 2-AG are the two endogenous endocannabinoids that activate the cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2. Anandamide is predominantly metabolized by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), whereas monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is thought to be the enzyme primarily responsible for the degradation of 2-AG. It is difficult to separate the activities of the two because most currently available inhibitors of MAGL are not selective, and also inhibit FAAH or other enzymes. JZL 184 is the first selective inhibitor of MAGL with nanomolar portency and over 200-fold selectivity for MAGL vs FAAH. When administered to mice, JZL184 increased levels of 2-arachidonoylglycerol in the brain by about 8-fold, with no effect on levels of anandamide.

Fatty Acid Synthesis and Metabolism in Cancer Cells

Information on fatty acid synthesis and metabolism in cancer cells. Learn how proliferatively active cells require fatty acids for functions such as membrane generation, protein modification, and bioenergetic requirements. These fatty acids are derived either from dietary sources or are synthesized by the cell.
