I believe the substances are:
N-oleolethanolamine and N-linoleoylethanolamine
Chocolate contains both inhibitors of anandamide reuptake, and FAAH inhibitors.
The drug URB-597 is a FAAH inhibitor in the pipelines for depression/anxiety.
The drug advil (ibuprofen) is also a FAAH inhibitor. I do not know the degree of FAAH inhibition by ibuprofen though.
