JZL195
JZL195 is a drug that acts as a potent and selective inhibitor of the enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and the monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL). It is used in scientific research to investigate the role of the endocannabinoid system in the body.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
JZL195 is a dual FAAH/MAGL inhibitor, which means it blocks the action of both these enzymes. FAAH and MAGL are responsible for breaking down anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), respectively, which are two key endocannabinoids in the body. By inhibiting these enzymes, JZL195 increases the levels of anandamide and 2-AG in the body, enhancing the effects of the endocannabinoid system.
Uses[edit | edit source]
JZL195 is used in scientific research to study the endocannabinoid system. It has been used in studies investigating the role of the endocannabinoid system in pain, inflammation, mood disorders, and other conditions.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
As a research chemical, JZL195 is not used in humans, so its side effects are not well known. However, studies in animals have suggested that it may cause sedation and reduce motor activity.
