Description | N-Arachidonyl maleimide is a potent, irreversible inhibitor of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) with an IC50 value of 140 nM[1]. |

IC50: 140 nM (MAGL)[1] |
In Vitro | N-Arachidonyl maleimide is a putative MAGL inhibitor, which can be used for modulation of the effects of 2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG). N-Arachidonyl maleimide increases endogenous levels of 2-AG in the brain. N-Arachidonyl maleimide prevents cerebellar membrane-mediated degradation of 2-AG at a relatively low concentration (IC50, 140 nM)[1]. |
In Vivo | When combined with a 1 mg/kg dose of N-Arachidonyl maleimide, 2-AG (1, 3, and 10 mg/kg) produces significant and dose-dependent hypothermia, inhibition of locomotor activity, antinociception, and catalepsy[1]. |
