AM404

AM404, an inhibitor of endocannabinoid reuptake, blocks anandamide transport with IC50 values in the low micromolar range[1]. AM404 is able to relax rat isolated hepatic arteries contracted with Phenylephrine, with a pEC50 value of 7.4 (corresponding to an EC50 of 0.04 μM) . Neuroprotective Effect[2].
