N-Arachidonylmaleimide

N-Arachidonyl maleimide (NAM) is a potent, irreversible inhibitor of monoacylglycerol lipase (MGLL) with an IC50 value of 140 nM.6 Inhibition of MGLL by the sulfhydryl-reactive maleimide group suggests a critical cysteine residue is present in the substrate-binding site of the enzyme
