The first endocannabinoid to be discovered: a lipid made by the body that activates CB1 receptors in the nervous system and CB2 receptors in the periphery, the same targets as plant cannabinoids. It was isolated in 1992 from pig brain by William Devane, Lumír Hanuš and colleagues. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards and other impurities.
