Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Arachidonyl dopamine is an endogenous lipid amide formed from arachidonic acid and dopamine, structurally related to both anandamide and capsaicin-like compounds. It exhibits bioactivity as a potent TRPV1 agonist, inducing calcium influx and contributing to pain modulation, vasodilation, and neurogenic inflammation. Additionally, it acts as a partial agonist at CB1 cannabinoid receptors, implicating it in neuromodulatory processes such as analgesia, thermoregulation, and synaptic transmission.
