| Description | Commendamide is a bioactive metabolite classified as a long-chain N-acyl-amino acid, specifically N-(3-hydroxypalmitoyl)glycine. It is derived from gut microbiota and is structurally similar to endogenous compounds within the endocannabinoidome, a complex lipid signaling system that influences various physiological and pathological processes in mammals. The chemical structure of commendamide features a hydroxypalmitoyl group attached to a glycine backbone, which is critical for its interaction with biological systems. Commendamide has been shown to activate G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), particularly the G2A/132 subtype, which are involved in signaling pathways that regulate numerous biological functions (PMID:35300384 ). Additionally, commendamide's production by gut bacteria, such as Bacteroides, highlights its role in the microbiome's contribution to metabolic processes, particularly following dietary interventions like BO supplementation (PMID:38695302 ). The first separation of commendamide enantiomers using enantioselective high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has also been documented, emphasizing its significance in analytical chemistry (PMID:39700865 ). Overall, commendamide represents a fascinating intersection of microbiology, chemistry, and pharmacology. | ||||||||||||
