DrugBank MoA: Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) is a major N-acylethanolamine and an endogenous ethanolamide fatty acid. Although it is an endocannabinoids-like compound, it does not bind to cannabinoid receptors. Instead, this lipid sensor is an agonist at peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α) agonist while also being an inhibitor of ceramidase and thereby the sphingolipid signaling pathway.
