FLUORESCENT OLEAMIDE DERIVATIVE AND USE THEREOF

摘要

An oleamide can emit fluorescence without largely deteriorating its biological activity by introducing a fluorescent group into the oleamide via a carbon chain, as shown in the formula (I). The fluorescent group (R) may be a dansyl group of the formula (II) or an NBD group of the formula (III). The compound is useful for any application such as a method for fluorescence observation of a cell, a gap binding inhibitor, a tool for the study of the intracellular action mechanism of an oleamide derivative, a pharmaceutical product, a food, a beverage and a supplement.
