AbstractN-acylethanolamine-hydrolyzing acid amidase (NAAA) is a lysosomal hydrolase degrading various N-acylethanolamines at acidic pH. Since NAAA prefers anti-inflammatory and analgesic palmitoylethanolamide to other N-acylethanolamines as a substrate, its specific inhibitors are expected as a new class of anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. Here, we introduce an NAAA assay system, using [(14)C]palmitoylethanolamide and thin-layer chromatography. The preparation of NAAA enzyme from native and recombinant sources as well as the chemical synthesis of N-[1'-(14)C]palmitoyl-ethanolamine is also described.
