Product Description

Product Description

 

Palmitoyl ethanolamide (PEA) is an endogenous fatty acid amide that has been gaining attention for its potential therapeutic applications. It is derived from the combination of palmitic acid and ethanolamine. PEA is biosynthesized within cells and is involved in various physiological processes, including pain sensation, inflammation, and energy homeostasis.

Chemical Properties:

• PEA has a molecular formula of C18H37NO4S and a molecular weight of approximately 363.56 g/mol.
• It is characterized as a fatty amide lipid molecule and is very hydrophobic, being practically insoluble in water.
• The compound is also known as N-palmitoyl taurine, reflecting its structure that includes a palmitic acid chain attached to taurine via an amide bond.

Biological Functions:

• PEA is believed to act as a resolving molecule that promotes the resolution of inflammation without causing immunosuppression.
• It has been found to interact with the endocannabinoid system and may modulate the activity of certain receptors, such as TRP channels and PPARα, which are involved in pain and inflammation.
• Research suggests that PEA may play a role in neuropathic pain relief and could have potential as an analgesic agent.
