产品描述

The glyceryl esters of arachidonic acid have been proposed as endogenous cannabinoid ligands. 2-AG is 10 to 100 times more potent than 1-AG in ligand binding affinity and agonist activity at the CB1 receptor, and is thus considered to be the natural ligand. However, 2-AG is chemically unstable and undergoes rapid isomerization to 1-AG (synonymous with 1(3)-AG) both in vitro and in vivo. 1-AG is a frequent contaminant in synthetic 2-AG preparations, and can markedly reduce their cannabinergic potency. 1-AG is a weak CB1 receptor agonist and may have other pharmacologic properties.

2-Arachidonoyl glycerol potently induces cholecystokinin secretion in murine enteroendocrine STC-1 cells via cannabinoid receptor CB1

Lipids 2021 Nov;56(6):603-611.PMID:34533218DOI:10.1002/lipd.12323.

Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a peptide hormone secreted from enteroendocrine cells and regulates the exocrine pancreas, gastric motility, and appetite. Dietary triacylglycerols are hydrolyzed to fatty acids (FA) and 2-monoacylglycerols (2-MAG) in the small intestine. Although it is well known that FA stimulate CCK secretion, whether 2-MAG have the CCK-releasing activity remains unclear. We examined the CCK-releasing activity of four commercially available 2-MAG in a murine CCK-producing cell line, STC-1, and the molecular mechanism underlying 2-MAG-induced CCK secretion. CCK released from the cells was measured using ELISA. Among four 2-MAG (2-palmitoyl, 2-oleoyl, 2-linoleoyl, and 2-arachidonoyl monoacylglycerols) examined, 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) potently stimulated CCK secretion in a dose-dependent manner. Structurally related compounds, such as 2-arachidonoyl glycerol ether and 1-Arachidonoyl Glycerol, did not stimulate CCK secretion. Both arachidonic acid and 2-AG stimulated CCK secretion at 100 μM, but only 2-AG did at 50 μM. 2-AG-induced CCK secretion but not arachidonic acid-induced CCK secretion was attenuated by treatment with a cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) antagonist. These results indicate that a specific 2-MAG, 2-AG, directly stimulates CCK secretion via CB1.

Simultaneous UPLC-MS/MS quantification of the endocannabinoids 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2AG), 1-Arachidonoyl Glycerol (1AG), and anandamide in human plasma: minimization of matrix-effects, 2AG/1AG isomerization and degradation by toluene solvent extraction

J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2012 Feb 1;883-884:161-71.PMID:21752730DOI:10.1016/j.jchromb.2011.06.025.

Analysis of the endocannabinoid (EC) system's key molecules 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2AG) and arachidonoyl ethanolamide (anandamide, AEA) is challenging due to several peculiarities. 2AG isomerizes spontaneously to its biologically inactive analogue 1-Arachidonoyl Glycerol (1AG) by acyl migration and it is only chromatographically distinguishable from 1AG. Matrix-effects caused primarily by co-extracted phospholipids may further compromise analysis. In addition, 2AG and 1AG are unstable under certain conditions like solvent evaporation or reconstitution of dried extracts. We examined effects of different organic solvents and their mixtures, such as toluene, ethyl acetate, and chloroform-methanol, on 2AG/1AG isomerisation, 2AG/1AG stability, and matrix-effects in the UPLC-MS/MS analysis of 2AG and AEA in human plasma. Toluene prevented, both, 2AG isomerisation to 1AG and degradation of 2AG/1AG during evaporation. Toluene extracts contain only 2% of matrix-effect-causing plasma phospholipids compared to extracts from the traditionally used solvent mixture chloroform-methanol. Toluene and all other tested organic solvents provide comparable 2AG and AEA extraction yields (60-80%). Based on these favourable toluene properties, we developed and validated a UPLC-MS/MS method with positive electrospray ionization (ESI+) that allows for simultaneous accurate and precise measurement of 2AG and AEA in human plasma. The UPLC-MS/MS method was cross-validated with a previously described fully-validated GC-MS/MS method for AEA in human plasma. A close correlation (r(2)=0.821) was observed between the results obtained from UPLC-MS/MS (y) and GC-MS/MS (x) methods (y=0.01+0.85x). The UPLC-MS/MS method is suitable for routine measurement of 2AG and AEA in human plasma samples (1 mL) in clinical settings as shown by quality control plasma samples processed over a period of 100 days. The UPLC-MS/MS method was further extended to human urine. In urine, AEA was not detectable and 2AG was detected in only 3 out of 19 samples from healthy subjects at 160, 180 and 212 pM corresponding to 12.3, 14.5 and 9.9 pmol/mmol creatinine, respectively.

Quantification of endocannabinoids in biological systems by chromatography and mass spectrometry: a comprehensive review from an analytical and biological perspective

Biochim Biophys Acta 2011 Nov;1811(11):706-23.PMID:21875688DOI:10.1016/j.bbalip.2011.08.004.

The endocannabinoids anandamide (arachidonoyl ethanolamide, AEA) and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2AG) are physiologically occurring, biologically active compounds on CB(1) and CB(2) receptors with multiple physiological functions. AEA and 2AG have been identified and quantified in many mammalian biological fluids and tissues, such as human plasma, adipocytes, tissues and tissue microdialysates, at concentrations in the picomolar-to-nanomolar range under basal conditions. In this article, recently published chromatographic and mass spectrometric analytical methods, i.e., HPLC with fluorescence or ultraviolet detection, LC-MS, LC-MS/MS, GC-MS and GC-MS/MS, are reviewed and discussed, notably from the quantitative point of view. We focus on and emphasize the particular importance of blood sampling, sample storage and work-up including solvent and solid-phase extraction and derivatization procedures, matrix-effects, and stability of analytes. As 2AG spontaneously isomerizes to its CB(1)/CB(2) receptors biologically inactive 1-Arachidonoyl Glycerol (1AG) by acyl migration, this phenomenon and its particular importance for accurate quantification of 2AG are discussed in detail. Due to the electrical neutrality of AEA and 2AG their solvent extraction by toluene offers the least matrix-effect and minimum isomerization. LC-MS/MS is the most frequently used analytical technique for AEA and 2AG. At present, the utility of the GC-MS/MS methodology seems to be limited to AEA measurement in human plasma, bronchoalveolar liquid (BAL) and microdialysate samples. Despite great instrumental advances in the LC-MS/MS methodology, sampling and sample treatment remains one of the most crucial analytical steps in 2AG analysis. Extension of the LC-MS/MS methodology, for instance to microdialysate and BAL samples from clinical studies, is a big analytical challenge in endocannabinoid analysis in clinical settings. Currently available LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS methods should be useful to investigate the metabolism of AEA and 2AG beyond hydrolysis, i.e., by β- and ω-oxidation pathways.

Determination of endocannabinoids and endocannabinoid-like substances in human K3EDTA plasma - LC-MS/MS method validation and pre-analytical characteristics

Talanta 2019 Nov 1;204:386-394.PMID:31357310DOI:10.1016/j.talanta.2019.06.004.

The determination of endocannabinoids and endocannabinoid-like substances in biological human samples is a vibrant field of research with great significance due to postulated relevance of these substances in diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. For a possible use as biomarker in early prediction or diagnosis of a disease as well as examination of a successful treatment, the valid determination of the analytes in common accessible human samples, such as plasma or serum, is of great importance. A method for the determination of arachidonoyl ethanolamide, oleoyl ethanolamide, palmitoyl ethanolamide, 1-Arachidonoyl Glycerol and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol in human K3EDTA plasma using liquid-liquid-extraction in combination with liquid chromatography-tandem-mass spectrometry has been developed and validated for the quantification of the aforementioned analytes. Particular emphasis was placed on the chromatographic separation of the isomers 1-Arachidonoyl Glycerol and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol, arachidonoyl ethanolamide and O-arachidonoyl ethanolamine (virodhamine) as well as oleoyl ethanolamide and vaccenic acid ethanolamide. During the validation process, increasing concentrations of 1-Arachidonoyl Glycerol and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol while storing plasma samples were observed. In-depth investigation of pre-analytical sample handling revealed rising concentrations for both analytes in plasma and for arachidonoyl ethanolamide, oleoyl ethanolamide and palmitoyl ethanolamide in whole blood, dependent on the period and temperature of storage. Prevention of the increase in concentration was not possible, raising the question whether human K3EDTA plasma is suitable for the determination of endocannabinoids and endocannabinoid-like substances. Especially the common practice to calculate the concentration of 2-arachidonoyl glycerol as sum of 1-Arachidonoyl Glycerol and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol is highly questionable because the concentrations of both analytes increase unequally while storing the plasma samples in the fridge.

The structural basis of endocannabinoid oxygenation by cyclooxygenase-2

J Biol Chem 2011 Jun 10;286(23):20736-45.PMID:21489986DOI:10.1074/jbc.M111.230367.

The cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2) oxygenate arachidonic acid (AA) in the committed step of prostaglandin biogenesis. Substitutions of I434V, H513R, and I523V constitute the only differences in residues lining the cyclooxygenase channel between COX-1 and COX-2. These changes create a hydrophobic pocket in COX-2, with Arg-513 located at the base of the pocket, which has been exploited in the design of COX-2-selective inhibitors. Previous studies have shown that COX-2, but not COX-1, can oxygenate endocannabinoid substrates, including 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG). To investigate the isoform-specific structural basis of endocannabinoid binding to COX-2, we determined the crystal structure of the 2-AG isomer 1-Arachidonoyl Glycerol (1-AG) in complex with wild type and R513H murine (mu) COX-2 to 2.2 and 2.35 Å, respectively, and R513H muCOX-2 in complex with AA to 2.45 Å resolution. The 2,3-dihydroxypropyl moiety of 1-AG binds near the opening of the cyclooxygenase channel in the space vacated by the movement of the Leu-531 side chain, validating our previous hypothesis implicating the flexibility of the Leu-531 side chain as a determinant for the ability of COX-2 to oxygenate endocannabinoid substrates. Functional analyses carried out to compliment our structural findings indicated that Y355F and R513H muCOX-2 constructs had no effect on the oxygenation of 1-AG and 2-AG, whereas substitutions that resulted in a shortened side chain for Leu-531 had only modest effects. Both AA and 1-AG bind to R513H muCOX-2 in conformations similar to those observed in the co-crystal structures of these substrates with wild type enzyme.
