Metabolite Identification
Common NameAnandamide
DescriptionAnandamide, also known as AEA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acylethanolamines. N-acylethanolamines are compounds containing an N-acyethanolamine moiety, which is characterized by an acyl group is linked to the nitrogen atom of ethanolamine. Thus, anandamide is considered to be a fatty amide lipid molecule. Anandamide is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
