Anandamide...      Let’s think of nomenclature

Occurrence of Anandamide

So….. they did it

 Synthesis of Anandamide

Anandamide - As an inhibitor

         From the attached Space fill diagram alongside, we can view that the grayish structures are Carbon atoms. The transparent bubbles denote hydrogen atoms. Blue bubble represents  nitrogen atom. The two distinctive red bubbles represent the oxygen atom. From the molecular structure, we can observe that an Oxygen atom is bonded with carbon by means of a double covalent bond.
