Cannabinoids

<p>CB1 antagonist 4 is an inverse agonist of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) with an IC50 of 0.4 nM. It can reduce body weight, improve plasma inflammatory markers, and enhance glucose homeostasis [1].</p>

<p>HU 433, a synthetic cannabinoid, acts as a CB2 receptor agonist and is an enantiomer of HU 308. It provides anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects by binding to the CB2 receptor, primarily found on immune cells, thereby modulating immune responses and inflammation. Additionally, HU 433 influences microglial signaling pathways, particularly LPS and IFNγ-mediated routes, affecting the phosphorylation of MAPKs, including ERK1/2, JNK, p38, and Akt. This compound is valuable in researching neuroinflammation and retinal diseases.</p>

<p>GAT564, an allosteric CB1R modulator, shows EC50s of 87 nM (cAMP) &amp; 320 nM (β-arrestin2) and lowers IOP effectively in glaucoma mice.</p>

<p>AM8936: potent CB1 agonist, EC50 rCB1=8.6nM/hCB1=1.4nM, Ki rat CB1=0.55nM; potential for CNS, metabolic, pain, glaucoma research.</p>

<p>(Rac)-Zevaquenabant ((Rac)-MRI-1867, compound 6b) is a potent and selective antagonist of cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), with a binding affinity (Ki) of 5.7 nM for CB1R. It holds promise as an investigative tool in liver fibrosis research due to these characteristics.</p>

<p>AM-2232 (UNII-40KCH8YIKP) is a potent and unselective agonist of the cannabinoid receptors.</p>

<p>In the central nervous system, 2-Arachidonoylglycerol is a second endogenous cannabinoid ligand</p>

<p>AEF0117 is a signaling inhibitor of CB1-SSi that inhibits cannabinoid self-administration and can be used to study cannabis withdrawal.</p>
