Anandamide ((5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)icosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenamide), an immune modulator, acts via not only cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) but also other targets (e.g., GPR18/GPR55) in the central nervous system.

Tubulin polymerization-IN-85 (Compound C21) is a microtubule polymerization inhibitor with an IC50 value of 1.59 μM, targeting the colchicine binding site. It exhibits antiproliferative activity against HeLa, HepG2, MCF-7, and A549 cells with IC50 values of 0.08, 0.21, 0.27, and 0.32 μM, respectively, while demonstrating low toxicity to normal renal epithelial 293T cells (IC50 value of 187 μM). Tubulin polymerization-IN-85 induces G2/M phase arrest and triggers apoptosis in cancer cells. It downregulates the expression of Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, Mcl-1, Cyclin B1, cdc25, and cdc2 proteins, and upregulates P53, P21, Bad, and Bax levels. This compound is applicable in cancer research, such as cervical cancer studies.
