Aim: Highlighting the need for effective therapies for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, novel series of potential CB2 modulators (benzofuran and pyrrole carboxamides) were developed and tested for their functional activities on CB1/CB2 receptors.
BACKGROUND
There is evidence from around Europe of the availability and use of 6-(2-aminopropyl)benzofuran (6-APB) as a recreational drug. However, there is currently limited information on the acute toxicity of this compound. We describe here a case of acute toxicity associated with recreational
The synthesis of the (2R,3R,4S,6R)-7/(2S,3S,4R,6S)-8 enantiomeric pair of benzofuran cannabinoids is reported together with the 1H and 13C NMR spectral parameters. In benzofuran 8 the configurational arrangement of ligated groups at the stereogenic C(3) atom (through which the terpene moiety is
We recently discovered and reported a series of N-alkyl-isatin acylhydrazone derivatives that are potent cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB(2)) agonists. In an effort to improve the druglike properties of these compounds and to better understand and improve the treatment of neuropathic pain, we designed and
The cannabimimetic activity of two enantiomeric pairs of compounds structurally different from the classical cannabinoids was evaluated in rats and pigeons, trained to discriminate between the presence and absence of (-)-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). One pair of enantiomers [compounds
In this paper, it is hypothesized that the distinction between certain active and inactive cannabinoids is that the inactive analogs possess extra volume associated with their carbocyclic rings that may be responsible for an unfavorable interaction at the cannabinoid receptor. Using the active
The seven transmembrane alpha-helices of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the hallmark of this superfamily. Intrahelical interactions are critical to receptor assembly and, for the GPCR subclass that binds small molecules, ligand binding. Most research has focused on identifying the ligand
Paclitaxel induces microglial activation and production of proinflammatory mediators in the dorsal horn, which contribute to the development and maintenance of central sensitization and pain behavior. MDA7, 1-((3-benzyl-3-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-6-yl)carbonyl) piperidine is a novel highly
