          Background

          Eicosapentaenoyl serotonin is a hybrid molecule patterned after arachidonoyl serotonin. Arachidonoyl serotonin is an inhibitor of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and also acts as an antagonist of transient receptor potential vanilloid-type 1 (TRPV1) channels. Arachidonoyl serotonin is analgesic, reducing both acute and chronic peripheral pain in rodents [1, 2]. The effects of replacement the arachidonoyl portion with eicosapentaenoic acid have not been investigated. Replacement of arachidonate with saturated 11- or 12-carbon fatty acids generated compounds that potently inhibited capsaicin-induced TRPV1 channel activation with an IC50 of 0.76 μM. This compound showed no effects on blocking FAAH-mediated hydrolysis of arachidonoyl ethanolamide with an IC50 of > 50 μM [1].
