Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA)
PEA is an endogenous fatty acid amide, which belongs to the class of nuclear factor agonists.
PEA has been shown to bind to nuclear receptors (NRs) and exert a large variety of related
chronic pain and inflammation biological functions. PEA also has affinity to cannabinoid like
G-coupled receptors GPR55 and GPR119. PEA has been shown to have anti-inflammatory,
analgesic action, neuroprotective, and anticonvulsant effect properties.

Physiological Function
• PEA is an endogenous fatty acid amide, which has been proven to
have analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity etc.
• PEA’s analgesic actions may be due to its agonism of peroxisome
proliferatoractivated receptor-α (PPAR-α) which has been shown
to have a pivotal role in the PEA pharmacodynamic mechanisms
for pain relief . PEA plays an important role in suppression of
inflammation by reducing the activity of the pro-inflammatory
enzymes such as COX, eNOS, and iNOS and by reducing mast cell
activation.
