Marine cyanobacterial fatty acid amides acting on cannabinoid receptors.

ABSTRACT: Striking cAMP: certain fatty acid amides from marine cyanobacteria can mimic the endocannabinoids. Serinolamide B, a new analogue identified from a Guamanian sample, and malyngamide B, a representative member of a large class of cyanobacterial metabolites, can decrease forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation through the cannabinoid receptors.
