AM1172
AM1172 is metabolically stable anandamide uptake inhibitor. AM1172 inhibits [3H] anandamide transport in rat cortical neurons and human CCF-STTG1 astrocytoma cells with IC50 values of 2.1 μM and 2.5 μM, respectively. AM1172 can significantly inhibit AEA hydrolysis and concurrently decrease AEA uptake. AM1172 can be used for the study of endocannabinoid system regulation.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
AM1172 inhibits [3H] anandamide transport in rat cortical neurons and human CCF-STTG1 astrocytoma cells with IC50 values of 2.1 μM and 2.5 μM, respectively[1].
AM1172 (10-30 μM, 5 min) significantly reduces [14C]AEA hydrolysis in RBL-2H3 cells and concurrently decreases [14C]AEA uptake[2].
AM1172 shows moderate affinities for G protein-coupled CB1(IC50 = 271 nM) and CB2 receptors (IC50 = 189 nM)[3].

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.
-
Primary Embryonic Cortical Neuron Culture
Primary embryonic cortical neuron culture isolates cortical tissue from prenatal rodents, dissociates it into single cells, and maintains neurons in vitro so that neurite extension, neuronal marker expression, synapse formation, survival, and treatment responses can be examined outside the intact brain.
