Oleamide , its cas register number is 301-02-0. It also can be called cis-9-Octadecenoamide ; cis-9,10-Octadecenoamide ; and 9-Octadecenamide,(z)- . It occurs naturally in the body of animals, and accumulates in the cerebrospinal fluid during sleep deprivation and induces sleep in animals. It is being studied as a potential medical treatment for mood and sleep disorders, and cannabinoid-regulated depression. Oleamide was found by researchers to be leaking out of polypropylene plastics used in laboratory experiments, affecting experimental results. |
